Eggs are difficult to adulterate because they have a protective shell and internal structure. Any tampering would be visually obvious - the shell would need to be broken and resealed, or the contents altered in ways that change appearance or float tests. Meat can be adulterated with fillers, apples can be injected or waxed, and beans can be mixed with inferior varieties. The egg's complete packaging makes adulteration impractical.
