Is there lead in loose eggs

The lead content of loose-skinned eggs produced by the traditional process is less than or equal to 3 milligrams per kilogram, and the lead content of loose-skinned eggs and hard-skinned eggs and other skin eggs produced by other processes is less than 0.5 milligrams per kilogram is qualified. The traditional process of production is to add lead oxide in the production process, while the improved process is to replace lead by other elements such as copper and zinc. Identification standards are the same as the national standard. It can be seen that the "lead-free" loose eggs is only a relative concept.

Sponge eggs contain a very small amount of lead, in line with national standards of the product you can rest assured that you can eat, but still do not ignore the heavy metal lead on the human body, especially on the harm of children. Foreign studies have shown that children's intestinal sensitivity is 50% higher than that of adults, more likely to absorb heavy metals such as lead, so it is recommended that children eat less popcorn, loose eggs and other foods. Zhang Rui, a senior teacher of chemistry, introduced that lead is an accumulative toxin, which is easy to form chronic poisoning due to its slow elimination from the body, destroying the blood, decomposing red blood cells, and can also be deposited in the internal organs and bone marrow. Lead poisoning can cause vomiting, diarrhea, nerve paralysis, finger tremors and other symptoms. Children are more sensitive to lead, and excessive lead intake may lead to neurological harm and a decrease in IQ. So excessive lead intake caused by eating too many loose eggs etc. should be avoided.
