The Netherlands has been given the green light to export 420,000 kilos of powdered egg to the United States. It is the first time Holland has been licensed to export egg products to the US since 2002. The US has been hit by a bird flu epidemic and some 40m laying hens have been killed because of the outbreak, between 10% and 15% of the total American flock. The BBC's Anna Holligan reports.
