Two major egg factories exposed for violations: Chin Yi's raw materials unclear, Ruimu's washing and sorting facility not legal
In November, two "mixed egg incidents" broke out! Chin Yi Egg Products, a leading company in the domestic egg industry, was caught in a violation involving "a mismatch between the incoming quantity of raw eggs and the outgoing quantity of washed and sorted products." The Council of Agriculture suspended its right to use the "traceability label" for washed and sorted eggs and demanded that the operator make improvements within a deadline. In addition, Ruimu Foods, famous for producing "traceable agricultural products" eggs, was also reported to have an unlicensed washing and sorting facility, with employees washing and sorting eggs on their own in a factory building that had only obtained a temporary factory registration, and its traceable agricultural products qualification was revoked on the spot.
The Council of Agriculture estimates that the violations at both sites had been ongoing for 1-2 months, but stresses that both incidents are "labeling problems," not concerns about the eggs themselves. Last week, Chin Yi Egg Products applied for re-inspection and relisting, but eggs are a basic daily necessity, and with two "mixed egg incidents" occurring within one month, and neither company having publicly offered an explanation, exactly which links in the process went wrong? This still affects consumers' right to know and confidence in food safety.
