Overview
- YouTube channel Trustified reported 0.73 parts per billion of AOZ, a nitrofuran metabolite, in a blind test of an Eggoz egg sample.
- Eggoz denies using banned antibiotics, asserts compliance with FSSAI standards, and has published quality reports online, with some questions over when the documents were uploaded.
- The company says independent NABL-accredited testing is underway and a fresh batch has been submitted, with results expected within about a week.
- Co-founder Abhishek Negi calls the allegation misinformation that created unnecessary panic and cites the brand’s safety checks, herbal feed and batch-level traceability.
- Doctors describe the detected level as a trace amount unlikely to pose immediate harm, while noting that FSSAI treats nitrofuran residues with zero tolerance and confirmed findings could trigger regulatory action.
