Fake egg myth cracked

PUTRAJAYA: The alleged fake eggs found in the Pulau Tikus wet market in Penang last week were merely deformed and “out of shape” and were not meant for sale, according to the Veterinary Services Department.

Director-general Datuk Dr Abd Aziz Jamaluddin said the Grade E and F eggs, usually sold for below 28 sen each, were normally used as base material for cakes, pastries and by biscuit manufacturers.
