FSSAI Ends Egg Cancer Row: Claims 'Misleading, Scientifically Unsupported'

• FSSAI declared eggs safe for human consumption, debunking claims of carcinogenic substances.
• The national food regulator called reports linking eggs to cancer "misleading" and "scientifically unsupported."
• Nitrofurans, allegedly found in some eggs, are banned in poultry production under FSS Regulations, 2011.
• Trace residues below the Extraneous Maximum Residue Limit (EMRL) are not a food safety violation or health hazard.
• FSSAI urged consumers to rely on science-backed advisories, affirming eggs as a vital, nutrient-dense food.

Why It Matters: FSSAI confirms eggs are safe, dismissing cancer links as unsupported and misleading.
