Srinagar, Jan 9 — Egg samples collected from different parts of Srinagar have been found safe for consumption and compliant with Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) norms, officials said on Friday.
Assistant Commissioner of Food Safety, Srinagar, Yameen ul Nabi said eight samples were lifted from supermarkets and wholesalers across the city during routine surveillance. “The results came late last evening and all samples have been declared of standard quality,” he said.
The samples included both loose and packaged eggs and were collected around 20–22 days ago as part of ongoing food safety checks. “The tests confirm that eggs available in Srinagar meet FSSAI standards and are fit for human consumption,” Nabi said.
He urged people not to circulate unverified videos or messages that could create panic. “Sharing unverified content only spreads fear,” he said, also appealing to sections of the media to rely on verified information instead of amplifying rumours.
Nabi said food safety surveillance drives will continue across the city to protect public health and maintain confidence in the local food supply chain.
