The Netherlands is planning to introduce stricter rules for laying hens as the country struggles to curb Salmonella levels. Recent data indicates that the rate of the bacteria in these birds stood at 5 per cent.

According to Food Safety News, this figure is significantly higher than the European Union target of 2 per cent. The planned regulatory shift aims to bring the poultry industry back in line with these safety standards.
