News Desk – A wave of social media posts this week has put Eggoz Nutrition a premium egg brand known for its “100% Antibiotic-Free” promise at the centre of a major controversy.
It all began when YouTube channel Trustified, which sends food products for independent lab testing, released a video claiming that Eggoz eggs tested positive for AOZ, a byproduct of the banned antibiotic Nitrofuran. This chemical is prohibited in poultry farming because of its possible link to cancer.
The detected amount 0.73 parts per billion was extremely small, but it was enough to shake consumer trust, especially since people pay extra for Eggoz believing they are getting completely clean, chemical-free eggs.
Doctors Step In: “Don’t Panic, But the Concerns Are Valid”
As panic started spreading online, medical experts tried to calm the situation. Dr. Manan Vora, a well-known orthopedic surgeon and content creator, explained that:
The amount found is too low to pose any immediate health risk
No one is in danger from eating the eggs overnight
The real issue is breach of trust and how such residues enter the food chain
His message: It’s serious, but not a reason to panic.
Eggoz Responds: “Our Eggs Are Safe and Meet All Standards”
On December 9, Eggoz issued an official statement on Instagram addressing the viral video. The company said:
Their eggs are safe and meet all FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) norms
They follow strict quality control across farming, feed sourcing, transport and storage
Zero antibiotics are used in their farms
Trace residues can occur due to environmental contamination such as groundwater
Eggoz also said they have ordered additional testing from an independent NABL-accredited lab to reassure customers.
Brand Publishes Lab Reports Online
In the early hours of December 11, Eggoz posted another update on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a direct link to their quality reports page. Their website is now openly displaying lab test reports — a move clearly aimed at rebuilding public trust.
It is not clear when exactly these reports were uploaded, but their availability shows the brand is trying to counter the narrative created by the viral video.
What Happens Now?
The debate continues online:
Is something “legally safe” the same as “completely chemical-free”?
For now, Eggoz maintains its eggs are safe under Indian food standards. Consumers, however, are asking tougher questions and the brand will need more than reports to fully regain confidence.
