As a professional third-party testing institution, our company is proud to launch a specialized testing service for eggs and egg products, helping you safeguard the safety of your New Year supplies and ensuring every bite of egg goodness is enjoyed with complete peace of mind.
I. Critical Safety Hazards of Eggs & Egg Products During Spring Festival You Need to Know
As a professional institution with extensive experience in the testing field, we have summarized the top 3 most common safety issues of eggs and egg products based on years of Spring Festival consumption testing data, each backed by clear national testing standards:
Microbial Contamination: Salmonella is the "number one nemesis."
Both the shells and interiors of fresh eggs (e.g., chicken eggs, duck eggs) can harbor Salmonella. Inadequate cleaning, undercooking, or improper storage (such as leaving them at room temperature for too long) can lead to massive bacterial reproduction. Consumption of contaminated eggs may cause acute gastrointestinal illnesses like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. This is also one of the core testing items for fresh eggs and egg products, which must strictly comply with the requirements of GB 2749 National Food Safety Standard Eggs and Egg Products.
In addition, Total Plate Count and Coliforms are key hygiene indicators that directly reflect the sanitary condition of egg products. For example, marinated eggs and century eggs may fail to meet hygiene standards if not processed properly.
Excessive Veterinary Drug Residues: Guard Against "Non-Compliant Eggs" on Your Table.
In large-scale poultry farming, some farmers may use veterinary drugs such as antibiotics and hormones to prevent or treat diseases in poultry. Improper control of dosage can result in excessive residues in eggs. We focus on testing common veterinary drug residues including tetracyclines, sulfonamides, and fluoroquinolones, ensuring every egg meets the national residue limits and avoiding potential damage to liver and kidney functions from long-term intake.
Non-Compliant Food Additives: Pay Close Attention to Century Eggs & Salted Eggs.
Processed egg products like century eggs, salted eggs, and marinated eggs often contain additives such as preservatives, colorants, and color fixatives. Our testing priorities include verifying that additive usage complies with GB 2760 National Food Safety Standard Standard for Uses of Food Additives. For instance, we check for excessive copper ion residues in century eggs (a common issue in traditional production processes) and the dosage of potassium sorbate in marinated eggs, eliminating the risks of "off-specification or over-limit" additive usage.
II. Quick Self-Inspection Tips for Home Use: 3 Steps to Identify Obvious Risks
Before purchasing or consuming eggs and egg products, here are simple self-inspection methods to quickly avoid obvious safety risks:
Check Appearance: Fresh eggs should have intact, crack-free shells without mold spots and uniform color. Century eggs should be free of black spots and off-odors; marinated eggs should have natural coloration—avoid products with overly bright hues.
Smell for Odors: Fresh eggs have no strange smell when cracked open. A sour or rotten odor indicates spoilage. Pungent smells from egg products may signal excessive additives.
Verify Purchase Channels: Prioritize large supermarkets and reputable brands. Check that product labels are complete (including production date, shelf life, manufacturer, and ingredient list) and reject "three-no" (no manufacturer, no production date, no quality certificate) egg products.
