AN ad hoc group on food security appointed by the Macau Special Administrative Region government yesterday confirmed they had not found any evidence supporting previous media reports that eggs sold in Macau contained abnormal elements.
Last week, local broadcaster TDM reported that a pregnant woman in Macau claimed to have eaten six suspected artificial eggs bought from a local market, which had rubber-like yolks.
She said she was even more convinced that the eggs were problematic after watching a TV news report about fake eggs found in Fujian Province. The eggs she ate were from Hubei Province.
However, the ad hoc group found that yolks can become elastic and enlarged when cooked, if eggs were previously stored in below-freezing conditions and shaken for a certain period of time.
Previously, an official from Macau's Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau said his bureau had received 10 reports of suspected fake eggs since January, according to a report in the South China Morning Post.
