At least 306 people have been infected with salmonella in Belgium after they ate eggs, according to figures released by the Belgian Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC).
The outbreak has been linked to eggs produced by Laerco, a company based in Geel in northern Belgium. Salmonella was first detected at the facility at the end of April. The following month, a large-scale recall saw all eggs from the site withdrawn from the market.
