Farmers throw eggs at a poultry farm in Onstwedde, Netherlands, on August 3, 2017 after the Dutch Food and Welfare Authority (NVWA) highlighted the contamination of eggs by fipronil, a toxic insecticide outlawed from use in the production of food. Dutch officials said on August 3, 2017 that about 180 poultry farms had been closed across The Netherlands after fipronil was found in samples taken from eggs, droppings and meat. In large quantities, fipronil, is considered to be 'moderately hazardous' according to the World Health Organisation, and can have dangerous affects on people's kidneys, liver and thyroid glands. The insecticide, manufactured by Germany's BASF among other companies, is commonly used in veterinary products to get rid of fleas, lice and ticks.
