Eggs on sale from flu virus farms in northern Poland

40,000 eggs from the H5N1-infected farms in Zuromin have been discovered on sale in groceries of Warmia and Mazury, north-east Poland.

2,500 were sold on Sunday, whereas 5,000 were withdrawn from sale.

A list of the shops where the eggs were available has been posted on the website of Sanepid, State Sanitary Inspectorate.

Since yesterday Sanepid has also been monitoring the shops where H5N1-infected eggs may be available.

What is known so far, is that eggs from Zuromin were on sale only in the Olsztynski district.

Experts remind that once boiled, eggs no longer pose a threat to people's health. Boiling eggs for ten minutes eliminates virtually all viruses.
