TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan's Ministry of Agriculture is seeking an official investigation in response to rumors swirling about spoiled green eggs bought from a supermarket, despite being a week away from their expiration date.
Reports were filed with the Zhongzheng Second Precinct of the Taipei City Police Department earlier that day. The move aims at leveraging law enforcement resources to expose the truth behind the allegations.
The rumor, initially circulated on the Internet by a consumer claiming that eggs from Tai Nong turned black and green upon breaking, has sparked a frenzy of public attention. Premier Chen Chien-jen dismissed these claims as "fake news."
Unable to independently authenticate the source of the tainted eggs, the Ministry of Agriculture has adopted a proactive stance by involving the police. This step is primarily to prevent the spread of misinformation by actors with malicious intent.
