    Original title: 3 times more expensive than ordinary eggs! Eating raw eggs has become a "new favorite for consumption"! Is it safe and hygienic? The reporter visited the production line→

    In recent years, an egg that can be eaten raw has appeared on some offline supermarkets and e-commerce platforms, and has been favored by some consumers, and the sales have even doubled.


    In a supermarket in Beijing, the reporter saw four brands of raw eggs placed in a freezer.


    From the price point of view, the price of ordinary eggs at room temperature is generally around 1 yuan per piece, while the price of eggs that are mainly "raw edible" is generally more than 2 yuan to 3 yuan

    The reporter explores the raw egg production line

    Although eating raw eggs is fun, for consumers, they must first ensure hygiene and safety.


    In the raw egg production base in Beihai, Guangxi, breeder Luo Chuangwei is conducting daily inspections of the chicken house.


    The company's R&D director told reporters that the most important thing to produce salmonella-free eggs is to select chicken breeds to ensure that the source is sterile


    Zhang Qionglian, R&D director of a raw egg company: There are two ways for chickens to be infected with Salmonella.


    The implementation standards of raw eggs are different.


      Due to its relatively high price, "raw eggs" are welcomed by some consumers, attracting many domestic egg companies to enter the market.


      The reporter observed the packaging of more than ten kinds of raw eggs sold on the market and found that the implementation standards of each brand are different.


      Yang Yanjun, a professor at the School of Food Science of Jiangnan University: At present, there are no clear regulations on salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria in fresh eggs in our country's egg and egg product standards, which leads to some consumers eating undercooked eggs.


      Experts said that if you want to completely eliminate the risk of pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella, it is recommended to eat eggs after cooking.


      Zhao Min, director of the Nutrition Department of the Sixth Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital: Eating raw eggs for a long time may cause a lack of biotin, because raw eggs contain substances that are absorbed and utilized by antibiotics, which will be destroyed after being cooked
