Bureau Prayagraj- Giving priority to health, the government has taken an important and strict decision regarding the egg business. Now from April 1, it will be mandatory to write expiry date on all eggs sold in the market. The purpose of this decision is to protect people from consuming spoiled and old eggs.

According to government officials, complaints were being received for a long time that many shopkeepers were selling old eggs to customers by declaring them as ‘fresh’, due to which health problems were increasing. After the implementation of the new rules, now every egg will have to be clearly marked with its validity period, so that consumers can assess its quality themselves.

Officials have also made it clear that if any shopkeeper or businessman is found violating this rule, strict action will be taken against him. This could include fines, license cancellation or other legal action. Food safety experts believe that this step will not only be beneficial for consumers but will also increase transparency in the market. This will also put pressure on shopkeepers to sell only fresh and quality eggs. This decision of the government is being considered an important initiative in the field of food security, which will provide safe and better quality food to the common people.
