chinese EGG controversy

“A company of wolves, is better than a company of wolves in sheep's clothing.” 
― Anthony Liccione


RECENTLY I WAS WATCHING THIS NEWS ABOUT  PLASTIC EGGS WHICH LOOK SAME AS THE NATURAL EGGS BEING SOLD IN A HYPERMARKET IN KOCHI,KERALA. I FOUND IT AMUSING AS HOW CHINA IS ABLE TO SELL ANYTHING LITERALLY ANYTHING IN INDIA. THERE WERE DOUBTS REGARDING THESE EGGS FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS, SO THE CONSUMERS WENT INSIDE THE MARKET AND BURNED AN EGG. THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE EGGS OUTER WHITE PART WAS BURNING LIKE PLASTIC WITH THE WHITE PART TURNING INTO BLACK. SO THEY CALLED THE COPS AND IT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.



THESE EGGS ARE MANUFACTURED IN CHINESE FACTORIES AND THEY REACH KERALA THROUGH TAMIL NADU. MANY MORE PLASTIC EGG CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN TRIVANDRUM, IDUKKI AND OTHER PARTS OF KERALA. THE CONSUMERS  STARTED DOUBTING WHEN THEY DID NOT TASTE LIKE NORMAL EGGS.
HEALTH MINISTER HAS ALSO LOOKED INTO THIS MATTER.THESE EGGS ARE BROWN IN COLOR AND DO NOT GET ROTTEN WHEN KEPT CRACKED OPEN AND IS NOT ATTRACTED BY FLIES WHICH PROVES THAT THEY ARE ARTIFICIAL.BUT THE MEAT AND SCIENCE TECH OF KERALA SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TESTED THE SAMPLE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING FAKE IN IT. MAYBE THEY ARE SAVING THEIR HUMBLE IMAGES OR THEY ARE TESTING THE WRONG CASES. DR OOMMEN ,THE DIRECTOR OF MEAT AND SCIENCE DEPARTMENT SAYS THAT WHEN EGGS ARE FROZEN FOR PRESERVATION AND THEY ARE CARRIED TO LONG DISTANCES THESE CHANGES MAY HAPPEN , BUT MR OOMMEN HOW ARE THEY NOT GETTING CONTAMINATED EVEN AFTER THEY ARE LEFT IN OPEN. EVEN FLIES DON'T GET ATTRACTED TO PLASTIC ,THAT IS THE PROOF.

NOT ONLY EGGS BUT FAKE RICE CASES HAD ALSO CAME UP IN THE PAST. CHINESE POLYMER RICES WERE ALSO    SOLD IN THE MARKETS OF KERALA WHICH MIGHT HAVE COME THROUGH TAMIL NADU.



ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE, FAKE EGGS EXIST AND THEY ARE CHEAPER OBVIOUSLY THAN NORMAL EGGS. RESINS,STARCH,COAGULANT,PIGMENTS ARE USED TO MAKE THE WHITE PART OF THE EGG , RESINS AND PIGMENTS FOR THE YOLK AND WAX, GYPSUM POWDER AND CALCIUM CARBONATE FOR THE SHELL.THIS SAME WAX WAS FOUND IN KOCHI PLASTIC EGG. FAKE EGG PRODUCTION HIT CHINA IN THE LATE 90's. ARTIFICIAL GUTTER OIL AND MILK ALSO HAVE BEEN PRODUCED IN CHINA AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE.  A FAKE BABY NUTRITION PRODUCT KILLED FOUR INFANTS IN CHINA.

FAKE EGG VS REAL EGG




  • THE WHITE PART AND THE YOLK MIXES UP AFTER THE FAKE EGG IS CRACKED.
  • FAKE EGGS ARE MORE SHINIER THAN REAL ONES.
  • THE SHELLS OF FAKE ONES ARE ROUGHER THAN REAL ONES.
  • SLOSHING SOUND IS CREATED WHEN YOU SHAKE A FAKE EGG.
  • REAL EGGS SMELL LIKE RAW MEAT  AND THEY DO ATTRACT FLIES WHEN KEPT IN OPEN.
  • TAPPING REAL EGG WILL CREATE CRISP SOUND.
  • WHEN WE FRY A FAKE EGG THE YOLK WILL SPREAD OUT WITHOUT BEING TOUCHED.
THE CHINESE CAN GO TO ANY LIMITS TO TAKE THEIR ECONOMY ON TOP.
BAN CHINESE PRODUCTS AND NO DIWALI INCLUDING CHINA.
