PETALING JAYA: Consumers will have to wait another 10 days before they know if it is safe to consume eggs sold in the market.
The Veterinary Services Department collected samples from eight poultry farms in Jeram, Selangor for tests in response to Singapore’s rejection of eggs from the farms.
Agriculture and Food Industries Deputy Minister I Datuk Seri Ahmad Hamzah told
theSun that samples of the eggs are now at the department’s laboratory in Salak Tinggi.
“We can expect to see some results in seven to 10 days.”
The Singapore Food Agency announced last Friday that it had instructed importers to recall eggs from the Lay Hong Bhd layer farm in Jeram after detecting Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) in the eggs.
