Wales – Egg firm fined for Salmonella testing failure

Food Safety News

An unnamed egg producer has been fined in Wales for not following Salmonella testing rules.

In September 2023, a case was brought by the Welsh Government against an egg company for non-compliance with Salmonella testing legislation for laying hens.

Not following these requirements is a criminal offence under the Eggs and Chicks (Wales) Regulations 2010.

The business was fined £1,000 ($1,220) and ordered to pay a £100 ($122) victim surcharge. They were also told to pay £2,121 ($2,600) for prosecution costs.
