Dioxin scare: German feed fat 'contains 77 times limit'

Nearly 5000 German farms have been closed after tests revealed animal feed had been contaminated with the chemical dioxin at 77 times the permitted level.

Scientists have found traces of the highly toxic chemical in eggs.

The scandal has spread beyond Germany's borders.

Eggs have been exported to the Netherlands and the UK but the British Food Standards Agency says there's no cause for concern.
