Eggoz is known for selling fresh, chemical-free, antibiotic-free eggs. But this week, a YouTube channel called Trustified tested some of their eggs in an independent lab. The report claimed that the eggs contained AOZ, which is a chemical that comes from the antibiotic Nitrofuran. This antibiotic is banned in poultry farming because it may be linked to cancer.

The amount found was extremely small, 0.73 parts per billion, but even this tiny amount confused and upset customers, especially because Eggoz advertises their eggs as 100% antibiotic free. People who buy premium eggs expect them to be completely clean, so the news felt like a betrayal.

As the rumours spread online, some doctors stepped in to explain the situation. Dr. Manan Vora, a doctor and content creator, said the result was surprising but people should not panic. The amount of AOZ found was very tiny, so tiny that it does not cause any immediate health danger. The bigger issue, he said, is the loss of trust and the question of how such chemicals enter the food chain in the first place.

On December 9, Eggoz finally responded. The company said their eggs are safe and follow Indian food safety rules. According to them, Indian regulations allow small trace amounts of chemicals because sometimes pollution from things like groundwater cannot be fully avoided.

Eggoz posted a long statement on Instagram saying they maintain strict quality control, do not use antibiotics, and check everything from the feed they use to how the eggs are stored and delivered. They also said they have ordered new tests from another independent lab to reassure customers.

In the early hours of December 11, the company shared another update on X (Twitter), giving a direct link to their quality reports. These lab reports are now visible on their website for everyone to see. It’s not clear when these reports were uploaded, but they seem to be part of the company’s effort to defend itself after the viral video.

For now, Eggoz argues that their eggs are legally safe, even if the debate continues about the difference between “safe under law” and “completely chemical-free.”
