Haasan's claim comes days after state Finance Minister D Jayakumar's poser to the actor, who had levelled allegations of corruption against the Tamil Nadu government, on what welfare measure he had taken for the people of the state through his fan clubs.
"Perambalur expose of rotten eggs given to children deserves praise. Pls consult our in house lawyers be4 exposing crime. Dont break laws (sic)," the national award-winning actor tweeted.
Meanwhile, the district administration has said an inquiry will be conducted into the matter.
District Collector V Santha told PTI that strict quality control rules were in place for supply of eggs along with a replacement mechanism where it warranted.

Ever since Kamal Haasan had made allegations of corruption in the government, he has been targeted by the ruling dispensation, with Chief Minister K Palaniswami himself asking the national award winning actor to take the political plunge to get proper response.
The actor had last month asked his fans to use social media to lodge complaints about corruption.
Local Administration Minister SP Velumani had sought proof of Haasan's allegations and had asked if the actor was ready to furnish tax details of his films.
The opposition parties, including DMK, have backed Haasan and urged the government to respond to his charges of corruption rather than 'targeting' him.
