After the egg shortage: Increased pressure on smaller producers ahead of Easter

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

Salmonella is always a concern among egg producers and affects the egg market, says Ulla Born, who runs Båsbo eggs, with 3,000 hens, in Julita.

– It is especially fragile when large facilities are affected. When it is a smaller farm, it is not noticed in the same way. It’s sad for everyone affected because it’s a financial interruption.

The egg producer that has its production in Småland and that recently had a salmonella outbreak has now gotten rid of the infection and has been given the green light by the Swedish Food Agency to continue operating.
