Eggs from German farms where animal feed has been contaminated by dioxins have found their way into processed products destined for British food.
The EU executive said 14 tonnes of the liquid food had been exported to the UK but stressed there was a very low risk to human health.
The UK’s Food Standards Agency also said there was not thought to be a risk to human health.
This was because the eggs would have been diluted with other products.
