India’s food safety regulator, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), has reportedly sought an explanation from quick commerce platform Blinkit over multiple social media complaints regarding the quality of eggs delivered through it.
According to sources, several consumers alleged that the eggs delivered via the platform had a foul smell, rubber-like texture and plastic-like properties, raising concerns over whether they were fit for human consumption.
Taking cognisance of the complaints circulating online, the FSSAI has reportedly asked Blinkit to clarify the matter and explain the quality checks followed for such food products.
Sources said the regulator has directed the company to submit a detailed Action Taken Report (ATR) along with a compliance report within seven days.
The complaints have triggered concerns among consumers over food safety standards and the handling of perishable products on quick commerce platforms. However, no official statement has yet been issued publicly by either FSSAI or Blinkit regarding the allegations.
