A salmonella outbreak linked to spoiled eggs left at least 306 people sick in Belgium. Victims ate contaminated eggs. The illness spread as people consumed products prepared with contaminated eggs. News outlets including Euronews.com, The Independent, and The Brussels Times detailed the outbreak.

Authorities acted to resolve this. They issued a multi-nation recall of two million eggs to handle the situation. DutchReview reported that supermarkets in the Netherlands also recalled eggs with possible salmonella. The recall seeks to pull two million eggs from shelves after over 300 people got ill from the batch.
