The Danish Food Authority has filed a police report against a man caught selling eggs illegally in the greater Copenhagen area, specifically from a refrigerated trailer near Brøndby Vester School. The authorities discovered that the seller had not registered his operation as a food business, lacked proper documentation on egg traceability, and the eggs did not feature mandatory stamps required for food products. This negligence raises concerns over the safety and health regulations applicable to food sales.

Repeated attempts by the Danish Food Authority, with the assistance of law enforcement, to halt the illegal sale have been unsuccessful, prompting the decision to escalate the matter through a police report. Michael Rosenmark, head of the Food Journey Team, articulated concern over the continued illegal sales and emphasized that all necessary steps are being pursued to ensure compliance with food legislation. The seller's actions not only violate legal standards but also pose potential public health risks.

In light of the situation, the Danish Food Authority has issued warnings to the public, advising them to dispose of any eggs purchased from this trailer due to the risk of salmonella contamination. This case highlights the ongoing challenges faced by food regulatory bodies in monitoring and enforcing food safety laws, particularly in informal or unregistered sales environments.
