Introduction: Beijing, Nov 28, according to Hong Kong media reports, in order to prevent eggs from flowing into Hong Kong in the bird flu epidemic area, Hong Kong health, welfare and Food Bureau plans to put eggs under supervision, establish a licensing system, require egg makers to register, declare the place of production of eggs, and follow the procedures for egg disinfection Chen Yude, Deputy Secretary General of the Hong Kong health, welfare and Food Bureau (food and environmental health), said yesterday that since egg makers can import eggs from all parts of Hong Kong regardless of the import of eggs, egg makers should also be asked if there are any eggs exported to Hong Kong in areas where there is an outbreak of avian influenza, but he said experts believe that it is safe to eat eggs as long as they are washed and cooked Professor Yuan Guoyong, a microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong, also said that in theory, the virus in chicken manure can stick to the egg shell, but it is safe to eat only by washing with detergent and boiling the eggs Chen Yude said that it is the fertilized egg that is worrying Once the fertilized egg is infected with avian influenza virus, it may infect other chickens Therefore, the authorities plan to put the egg under supervision, set about setting up a licensing system to require egg makers to register, declare the place where the egg is produced, and follow the procedures to detoxify the egg.
