25 Aug 2017 --- The Dutch fipronil egg scandal deepened once more yesterday (August 24) after the Dutch Minister of Health announced that a second prohibited pesticide was used by pest control company Chickfriend on a number of poultry and mixed farms. In a letter to the Dutch Parliament, Edith Schippers notes that investigators discovered on 10 August that there were an additional seven farms treated by Chickfriend in 2016 and 2017, which had not yet been investigated by the Netherlands Food and Consumer Products Safety Authority (NVWA) with regards to fipronil contamination.
