A viral video showing "plastic-like" strands inside boiled eggs has sparked consumer concern, but Eggoz and FSSAI clarify that such textures are natural and that plastic eggs are a myth.

The quality of eggs distributed by a brand called Eggoz was recently questioned and the issue received a lot of public interest. The FSSAI has accordingly directed its regional offices to conduct checks.

According to the regulator, allegations about nitrofuran metabolites being present in eggs are incorrect and risk spreading panic among consumers.
