[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 6776562, member: 461"] Copied from Govt website. But it might be prudent to test for Salmonella even if you don't need to - just so you can show due diligence in case one of your customers blames your eggs for a bout of the squits. [SIZE=6][B]Who must take samples and test[/B][/SIZE] You must take samples if you produce eggs on a commercial basis. You’ll be prosecuted or fined if you do not get your egg-laying hens tested as described in this guide. A fine can range from £100 to £4,500. Your flock[B] does not need testing [/B]if one of the following apply: [LIST] [*]all production is for private domestic use (the eggs are not entering the market) [*][B]the premises has fewer than 350 hens and supplies the consumer direct[/B] (such as through farm-gate sales or local retailers) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
