UAE bans egg imports from a US producer

UAE’s Ministry of Climate Change and Environment has placed a ban on eggs imported from the US producer Rose Acre Farms.

According to the health advisory withdrawing and banning order, these eggs have been contaminated with salmonella, informs Khaleej Times. The measures taken by the authorities to withdraw all eggs produced by Rose Acre Farms includes the issuing of a circular with a serial code number list of the product to all local authorities.

At the beginning of this month, US Department of Agriculture announced that the Rose Acre Farms eggs were distributed to the U.S. Virgin Islands and international destinations, including the United Arab Emirates, the Bahamas, Haiti, Aruba, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Saint Martin, Turks & Caicos, and Saint Barthelemy.

A month ago, the company has recalled 207 million eggs from the American market due to a Salmonella outbreak.

In an inspection report released recently by the FDA, outbreak investigators noted numerous violations of food safety laws and regulations. Among those violations were multiple instances of employees handling eggs after touching a variety of potentially contaminated surfaces and body parts, as Food Safety News reported.
