The first national egg standard is coming out soon

Introduction: in the new national standard for pollution-free eggs, the maximum limit standard for toxic substances in eggs is set, especially that no chloramphenicol, furazolidone and Salmonella which are harmful to human beings can be detected in eggs The reporter recently learned from the Department of market and economic information of the Ministry of agriculture that the first national standard for eggs will be issued soon At that time, the standard will be enforced for laying hens production enterprises, so that people can eat eggs at ease According to the person in charge of the market and Economic Information Department of the Ministry of agriculture, the new national standard for pollution-free eggs is very strict, and a series of follow-up detection methods have been introduced, and the market access and exit system for eggs has been implemented Among them, the highest limit standard is set for the toxic substances such as antibiotics, heavy metals and pesticides in eggs; the new standard will also put forward higher requirements for the feeding environment of laying hens; and it is required that no chloramphenicol, Salmonella and other substances shall be detected in eggs It is understood that chloramphenicol is often mixed into chicken feed to enhance the resistance of hens Eating eggs with chloramphenicol residues will cause harm to human hematopoietic function; Salmonella is easy to cause intestinal diseases, and then cause food poisoning Old standards are seriously lagging behind According to Lu Lizhi, director of the Poultry Research Office of the Institute of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, in the past, there were only two industry standards for eggs in China, i.e the hygienic quality standard for duck eggs and egg products and the standard for pollution-free food and eggs The former standard was too rough and the terms were not detailed enough There was only one mercury content index, and there were four sensory indexes, i.e eggshell, air chamber, protein and yolk Compared with the world standard of agricultural products, it lags behind seriously The latter standard is only effective for the packaged green eggs, this eggs and other pollution-free eggs, and can not effectively supervise the majority of laying households He said that at present, China's egg production is mainly of extensive type, which is easy to cause fecal pollution, waste water, waste gas and microbial pollution Some places where chickens are kept contain lead, mercury, chromium and other heavy metals in the soil and water source Regular consumption of such eggs with heavy metal residues will cause harm to human body In addition, in the process of feeding, the farmers abuse drugs, which will also lead to the poor quality of egg products and harm the health of consumers How to identify the eggs at ease? Experts say that the main factors affecting the quality of eggs are bacteria exceeding the standard, heavy metal pollution, antibiotic residues, etc these indicators can not be seen or touched, and can not be identified without the instrument The introduction of the new standard can stop those eggs that do not meet the national standard from flowing into the market, so that consumers can eat more safely After the implementation of the national standard of eggs, how to identify when people buy them? The head of the market and Economic Information Department of the Ministry of Agriculture said that the internationally recognized identification mark, namely, spraying edible red ink on eggs, would be adopted In this way, the data of origin, manufacturer, production date, ingredients, etc would be clear at a glance, and consumers could buy the products with such identification at ease
