After a viral video alleged presence of carcinogenic elements in eggs, the Food Safety Department has launched a valley-wide inspection drive to collect samples for testing.

Assistant Commissioner of the Srinagar Food Safety Department said the administration has taken swift cognizance of the issue and instructed all districts to collect samples from both organized and unorganized markets.
He said the FSD teams have lifted multiple samples since morning today and sent them for laboratory analysis.
“No physical inspection can confirm anything unless detailed testing is done. The reports are expected soon, and only then can the situation be clarified,” he said.
“We have checked several supermarkets but have not yet found the specific brand mentioned in the viral clip. More inspections will continue throughout the day, and any such product, if found, will be sampled immediately as per the Food Safety and Standards Act, he said.
The official urged consumers not to panic and wait for the lab results before drawing conclusions, he added.
