Trade restrictions
Detection of S. Enteritidis and S.Typhimurium in flocks of: breeding hens and breeding turkeys: immediately stops placing on the market of hatching eggs or day-old chickslaying hens: immediately stops placing on the market of table eggs no import of these products from such flocks allowed
