Every year again: dioxin scandal with chicken eggs

In several states, authorities have discovered dioxin contaminated organic eggs. Dozens layer farms were forced to close. Supermarkets have taken the eggs from the assortment.

A health risk does not exist according to the authorities through the established levels of dioxin contamination. That was determined by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Berlin. Officials said the level of dioxin did not pose a real risk to humans.

Dioxin is a poisonous chemical, linked to the development of cancer in humans.

Alle Jahre wieder: Skandal mit Hühnereier

In mehreren Bundesländern haben die Behörden mit Dioxin belastete Bio-Eier entdeckt. Dutzende Legehennenbetriebe mussten schließen. Supermärkte haben die Eier aus dem Sortiment genommen.

Eine Gesundheitsgefahr besteht nach Behördenangaben durch die festgestellten Dioxinmengen nicht. Das habe das Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung in Berlin ermittelt. Eine langfristige Aufnahme des Stoffs sei jedoch „nicht akzeptabel“.
