Dr. Manan Vora on Eggoz cancer claim: Banned chemicals found, FSSAI questioned.
- •A viral claim suggests Eggoz eggs contain banned chemicals (nitrofuran, nitroimidazole) that could cause cancer, based on tests by Trustified.
- •Dr. Manan Vora confirmed the presence of these genotoxic substances in Eggoz eggs and questioned FSSAI's tolerance levels.
- •The banned chemicals are used in poultry to prevent infection but are illegal, despite Eggoz claiming to be antibiotic-free.
- •Scientific research does not definitively link general egg consumption to cancer, with a 2022 meta-analysis finding no strong connection.
- •Eggoz stated its eggs are safe and FSSAI-compliant, attributing minimal residue to environmental factors, and initiated further independent testing.
