The report on the imported eggs from India will be released tomorrow (March 29), says the Director General of Animal Production and Health – Dr. Hemali Kotelawala.

Despite the elapse of 06 days since the arrival of the eggs, authorities have yet to release the stocks.

Meanwhile, a shortage of eggs are seen in many areas.

However, authorities have stated that the imported eggs are to be used for the bakery industry and not for general consumption.

Minister of Agriculture – Mahinda Amaraweera had recently instructed the Department of Animal Production and Health to prepare a series of guidelines to be used when importing eggs.

Accordingly, gloves are required when handling imported eggs while the eggshells should be safely disposed of or destroyed. It is said that the eggshells should not be released into the environment at any cost.
