Just Ask I heard that Singapore had zero tolerance policy for the antibiotic in eggs ?

Hi Mercia Cy Singapore consumes about 4 million eggs a day, and local farms supply about 23 percent of the market.

Once The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority inspection found residue of the antibiotic doxycycline in the eggs especially chickens under treatment for bacterial infections. The egg cannot be sold in the market and had to go through a withdrawal period.
