Qilu network February 11th news now there are a large number of sale of mountain eggs, the price is also uneven, a large difference. Many businesses also claim that they sell scattered chicken eggs, eat insects and never feed. Reporters after investigation, found that this is really a lot of tricky.
in a large supermarket in Pingyi, Linyi, the reporter saw that the egg sales area was set up as a special counter. Here, eggs are divided into two main categories: ordinary eggs and high-quality mountain eggs. Although there is only one word difference between the two, the price is quite different. Supermarket salesmen told reporters that close to the year, the relatives who like to take a box of eggs. She strongly recommended a gift box for mountain eggs to reporters. Because in consumer psychology, a small egg yolk deep egg is more nutritious.
reporter on the Internet inquiries, the salespeople said that the foreign eggs, generally refers to the ordinary eggs produced in the chicken farm, and the so-called mountain eggs, soil eggs, wood eggs, grass and eggs, and so on, but the name is different, in fact, they are the eggs under the scattered chickens. The relevant departments do not have strict subdivision standards.
reporters found that the price of these mountain eggs is at least more than twice the price of eggs. According to insiders, because some mountain farms are low in yield, some farms now sell small eggs that are produced to buyers. They were put into the egg boxes and put into supermarkets. So it changed into a so-called earth egg.
is not only reflected in the outer packaging of eggs, but also some dealers have worked hard on eggs themselves. According to people who broke the news, he had seen farmers feeding the feed into the feed to make the egg yolk more like a mountain egg, so as to achieve the purpose of making a real mess.
egg camouflage is mostly "material"
in order to investigate the inside of the egg industry, the reporter, in the name of the acquisition of mountain eggs, conducted a survey on the laying area in Pingyi, Zoucheng and other places. In the survey, farmers said frankly that the eggs produced by their chickens were small and yolk color was deep, especially for packaging eggs. In order to achieve realistic results, they will cater to the requirements of purchasers and pay special attention to adjusting the color of egg yolk.
the reporter visited ten laying hens in succession, and the owners of eight farms directly admitted that their eggs were sold out, and they were packed into mountain eggs. And the advantage of this is that eggs are sold on catty and sold to sell. So, how do you make up the egg?
is very vigilant for the visit of journalists and farmers. According to the reporter, the size of the egg is determined by the variety of the egg chicken. After the farmers choose the good chicken, they only need to add a little "yellow" to the feed, and the eggs will look similar to the eggs.
once the yolk color is adjusted, these eggs will be labeled with "wood", "soil" and "mountain" eggs, and they will be sent to the supermarket for sale. In order to confirm his statement, the farmer also opened an egg on the spot, the yolk color seemed to be deeper than the yolk of ordinary eggs.
it is no secret that the egg yolk color is raised in the industry of laying hens. Everyone is openly talking about whether the eggs are fed to yellow. The purpose of adjustment is only one, creating greater profits. In general, the price of yellow is 3 to 5 cents more than that of a yellow egg. A Nissan egg was ten thousand yuan in the chicken farm. For farms, such an egg laying method every day is not decimal. But what kind of material can make small eggs become earth eggs, firewood, egg and mountain eggs? Let's go down and look down.
mystery: "add yellow" eggs all depend on the color agent
in the laying hens breeding industry, the people in the industry make the color of egg yolk darker to "add yellow". The usual practice is to feed directly in feed. In the survey, many farmers are full of confidence in the effect of "plus yellow" eggs. Farmers told reporters that yellow eggs are not only expensive, but also do not worry about sales.
Sudan, Kangding red, or cantharidis yellow, because the farmers are only oral, so it is impossible to determine what the farmers say is added to the feed of the laying hens. However, it is certain that all kinds of "yellowing" belong to coloring agents, which can play a role in enhancing the color. In one of the farmers, the reporters saw the coloring granules they used.
the farmer took out a plastic bag and said that these dark red granules were cantharis yellow. It is understood that this is a feed additive, can be used in moderation, used for egg yolk coloring. However, astaxanthin in aquaculture accounts can only be used for aquaculture and can not be used for poultry breeding. Sudan, as a non food additive, has carcinogenic property and is strictly forbidden to add to food. The effect of
"adding yellow" is obviously more similar to "earth egg"
in Pingyi County, Linyi, near the provincial road 240, the farmers' laying hens are not small. In the breeding farm, the reporter saw that two chicken pots were equipped with automatic equipment for feeding, drinking water and excrement. Speaking of eggs and yellow, the staff was very indifferent.
later, the worker took out her family's yellow egg. In the face of reporters, the scene opened the egg. In order to show the reporter the difference between the yellow egg and the yellow egg, the worker went on to compare the eggs that had not been added to the yellow eggs.
the reporter saw that the yellowing eggs were obviously darker than those without yellow eggs, and were more orange red. However, speaking of using color to determine the way of mountain eggs, farmers also do not agree.
farmers tell the reporter that this is the same breed of chicken feed the same feed produced eggs, the difference in the color of egg yolk is only whether to add the color of cantharidis yellow.
