Fake Egg found in Penang 檳島出現“黑心雞蛋”

檳島出現“黑心雞蛋”
消協會吁小心選購

（檳城6日訊）中國“黑心雞蛋”檳城版出現在檳島浮羅池滑巴剎，檳城消費人協會呼籲公眾小心買蛋！

檳協會呼籲消費人小心買蛋，因為市面上已出現假雞蛋，這些假雞蛋體型較大，有得長得像番薯，價格卻比較便宜，吃了不只沒味道，甚至會危害健康。

檳消協今接獲一名婦女投報，該婦女帶了一托雞蛋到消協會所，投訴她買到假雞蛋，為此檳消協馬上召開記者會披露此事。

檳消協主席莫哈末依里斯說，假蛋形狀古怪，比較大個，打破后看不到蛋黃繫帶（chalaza）（把蛋黃固定在蛋白裡的不透明帶子），會出現泡泡，而且完全沒有雞蛋氣味；不過，假蛋在煮熟后，卻與真蛋毫無分別。

“常聽聞中國有‘黑心雞蛋’，沒想到現在檳城也有。”

危及健康

他說，假雞蛋是由化學藥物製成，蛋殼是碳酸鈣製造，蛋黃和蛋白是由明礬、明膠、苯甲酸、氯化鈣等化學物質製成。

“假蛋內含有色數及食品添加劑，與真蛋比起來完全沒有營養價值。”

他說，食用假蛋對健康構成危險，假蛋內化學物質會傷害腦神經細胞、影響身體造血功能、新成代謝出問題，更可能引發肝病、老年癡呆症等。

“我呼籲消費人小心，不要買到假蛋。”

Homemaker shocked over ‘fake eggs’ find

GEORGE TOWN: A woman who bought a tray of eggs in Pulau Tikus had a shock when she found them to be “fake eggs”.

Consumers Association of Penang president S.M. Mohamed Idris said the housewife had brought the eggs to his office after finding something fishy when she tried to cook them.

“She told us that the eggs did not smell like real eggs and were tasteless. It was also of unusual shapes and larger than real eggs.

“The fake egg also had a rougher surface than the genuine one.

“When cracked, there was no sign of chalaza, the structure inside the egg that keeps the yolk in place.

“The fake egg white and yolk quickly mixed together, unlike that of real eggs,” Idris said.

The fake egg yolk (left) is more yellowish than that of a normal egg.

He said after boiling the egg and cutting it open, the egg yolk appeared to be more “yellowish” than that of a normal egg.

Idris said an e-mail widely circulated among the public in Penang had claimed that fake eggs which were common in China , were full of chemicals and sold at lower prices.

Idris also said it would be very hard to tell the difference between fake eggs and genuine ones as both looked almost identical.

“Try to look out for the weird shapes,” he said, adding that his staff members had bought more eggs from the shop frequented by the woman and found them to be “fake”.

A tray of 30 real eggs costs around RM10.50. The fake eggs cost RM11.

Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism enforcement chief M. Guna Selan said his office had not received any such complaint.

Egg-streme deception

FAKE eggs, which are allegedly full of chemicals, have been found in Penang .

A housewife who bought a tray of 30 eggs for RM11 in a market has complained to the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) that they were fake.

CAP president S.M. Mohamed Idris said the housewife brought the eggs to the association’s office on Jalan Mesjid Negeri yesterday morning after finding something fishy about them when she tried to cook them.

“She said the eggs did not smell like real eggs and were tasteless.

“They had unusual shapes and were larger than real eggs. The fake egg also had a rougher surface than the genuine one.

“When broken, there were no signs of the chalazae which is the opaque ropes of egg white that hold the egg yolk in the centre of the egg. The fake egg white and egg yolk quickly mixed together unlike those of genuine eggs,” Idris told a press conference yesterday.

He said they found that the yolk of the fake egg was more yellowish than the real one when they cooked one of the fake eggs to find out the difference.

Idris said an e-mail circulated in the Internet had stated that fake eggs were common in China and were full of chemicals.

“According to the e-mail, the shell is made of calcium carbonate while the yolk and egg white are made of sodium alginate, alum, gelatin, benzoic acid and calcium chloride besides water and food colouring.

“Calcium chloride may cause liver diseases while benzoic acid can be harmful to the brain and nerve cells,” he said.

Asked how consumers can differentiate fake eggs from genuine ones, Idris said it would be very hard to do so as they looked almost the same.

“Try to look out for the weird shapes,” he said, adding that CAP staff went to buy eggs from the shop where the woman had bought the fake ones and the staff found the eggs were indeed fake.

He said CAP would write complaint letters to the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry and the Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority to urge them to carry out investigations.

The ministry’s Penang enforcement division head M. Guna Selan said his office had not received any complaints of fake eggs so far.

“I will check with CAP first on the details of the complaint before deciding on the next course of action,” he said.

The content of the circulated e-mail was found through a Google search.

It stated that various ingredients, including an unknown powder and alum, are mixed together to make the egg white.

For egg yolk, some lemon- yellow colouring powder is mixed to a liquid and stirred.

The liquid is then poured into a round-shaped plastic mould and mixed with so-called ‘magic water’, which contains calcium chloride.

Hardy shells are formed by pouring paraffin wax and a liquid onto the concoction which are then left to dry.
