Yesterday, some citizens reported that in the Shiqiao one-grass chicken breeding base in Pukou, Nanjing, the hens had eaten the “dye†feed, and the egg yolk turned orange-red. In this way, the eggs laid out by the chickens become the higher-priced "grass eggs".
Mr. Zhao said that when he was cooking at home, he was surprised to find that the color of the egg yolk that his friend gave him was extremely bright. “I haven’t seen Sudanese red eggs before, will this egg be added to the dye? Can’t you rest assured?†Mr. Zhao, who was puzzled, found the grass chicken breeding base in Pukou according to the address on the package. Workers at the breeding base add some red stain to the chicken feed.
In order to verify the situation of Mr. Zhao, the reporter came to the breeding base yesterday afternoon on the grounds of buying authentic grass eggs. The workers here are very vigilant about the bright colors of the "grass eggs" yolk. "Our grass chicken breeding base does not do this, it is impossible to do this kind of harmful thing. The color of the egg yolk is orange-red, which is the color of the grass and eggs." A worker said.
However, in the place where the breeding base gave the chicken agitated feed, a white plastic bottle caught the attention of the reporter. Only the plastic bottle mouth left a bright red powder, and the label around the bottle was completely exposed, and the reporter repeatedly After questioning, the worker was busy explaining that these things were only added to the water, and the chickens were allowed to drink, so that the eggs produced by the grass chickens were good. "What kind of good?" asked the reporter. The worker said, “It’s just something like an eggshell that turns red.â€
The reporter then found another identical plastic bottle in another feed room, but the powder was brighter in color. The farmer’s workers said that this is the pepper powder that is heated to the chickens. However, when the reporter touched it with his hand, his fingers were quickly dyed red. In response, another worker had to admit that there was another red additive in the chicken feed for the egg.
For the breeding base, the act of adding “dye†to the chicken feed, a boss who has been operating the egg for more than a decade, said, “It’s all for the pursuit of high-priced red-hearted eggs. Everyone has done this. This has already become Some farms have unspoken rules.†Wang Boss said that the caged high-yielding laying hens, commonly known as red chickens, produce the most common fresh eggs, the shell is reddish brown, the size is larger, the yolk color is yellowish, and the retail price per jin. Generally, it is around 8 yuan; while the eggshell color of the farmer's egg is slightly red, the head is small, the egg yolk is reddish, and the price per kilogram is generally more than ten yuan. Boss Wang also revealed that this coloring agent can be bought on the market.
Subsequently, the reporter came to a feed shop in Jiangbei as the owner of the farm, and found this additive easily. The vendor said, "After the chicken is eaten, the eggshell and egg yolk are almost the same color as the authentic grass eggs. It is very good to sell, especially the egg yolk is redder."
