Denmark also involved in dioxin food scare
By Shaun Weston

Key facts
The health scare began when German officials announced on 3 January that eggs from German farms where hens ate dioxin-tainted feed had been contaminated. German authorities later said some poultry and hog feed had been contaminated since March.
The origin of the feed contamination has been traced to a distributor of oils for animal feed production in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, where fatty acids meant for industrial use were distributed for animal feed.
Operations at 4,700 German farms were shut down and thousands of hens culled in eight German states to try to prevent food supplies being contaminated by the tainted feed.
Eggs from some of those farms were exported to Britain and the Netherlands for food processing, according to German and European Union authorities.
German officials said the eggs pose little health risk to consumers. The compounds take a long time to accumulate in the body so a relatively short period of exposure has little impact.
German prosecutors investigating the company believed to have contaminated feed with dioxin said they may bring criminal charges against the firm, a distributor of oils for animal feed production known as Harles und Jentzsch.
