- The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) launched a nationwide egg safety drive.

- Nitrofurans are banned veterinary antimicrobial drugs used earlier in food-producing animals.
- FSSAI is conducting surveillance and testing to detect residues of nitrofurans in eggs.
- Nitrofurans are banned in India due to their carcinogenic (cancer-causing) risk.
- The initiative aims to ensure food safety and compliance with food safety laws.
