FSSAI orders nationwide egg testing for banned nitrofurans

• FSSAI will collect egg samples nationwide to test for the presence of nitrofurans.
• The action follows a controversy regarding alleged nitrofurans in eggs distributed by Eggoz.
• Nitrofurans are banned antibiotics linked to potential toxic, carcinogenic, and genotoxic effects, especially harmful to children.
• Eggoz has publicly shared lab reports on its website, stating its eggs are free from banned substances and pesticides.
