China has carried out inspections on feed manufacturers nationwide to root out those found using excessive amounts of the chemical melamine after exposure of tainted milk and eggs scandals.

The Agriculture Ministry has sent more than 369,000 inspectors to 250,000 feed producers. Inspectors clamped down 238 illegal feed makers and investigated 278 illegally-operating companies and farms, said Wang Zhicai, director of the ministry's husbandry and livestock division.

A total of 3,682 tons of substandard feed were confiscated and destroyed, he said.

A ministry rule issued on June 1, 2007 banned the use of melamine in feed production, he said.

The melamine-tainted eggs produced by Dalian Hanwei Enterprise Group and found in Hong Kong is a separate case and using melamine in feed production is not an underlying industry rule, he added.

Hong Kong's Center for Food Safety (CFS) said on Oct. 26 the sample of the Select Fresh Brown Eggs (Extra Large), produced by Dalian Hanwei Chicken Farming Limited and sold in 6-piece packs, was found to contain 4.7 ppm (part per million) of melamine, above the government legal limit of 2.5 ppm for melamine in food.

"Producers violating the rule will face severe punishment. They could have their business license revoked and face criminal charges," he said.

Wang said the ministry would make stricter supervision over feed production.

The tainted milk scandal was exposed on July 16 after 16 babies, who were fed milk made from powder produced by Sanlu Group, developed kidney stones.

In the scandal, melamine, often used in the manufacture of plastics, was added to substandard or diluted milk to make protein levels appear higher. At least three infants died and more than 50,000 were sickened after prolonged drinking the contaminated milk.

专家:成人每天吃60个问题鸡蛋才可能三聚氰胺超标

问题鸡蛋 危害有多大
一些内地产鸡蛋在香港相继被检测出三聚氰胺超标，问题鸡蛋，危害有多大，会不会像问题奶粉一样，让人肾结石呢？

生命时报采访了相关食品方面的专家，专家表示，问题鸡蛋三聚氰胺含量较低，一般不会对人体健康产生威胁，百姓们不必过于恐慌。专家还称，虽然成人每天吃60个问题鸡蛋才可能三聚氰胺超标，但这不能成为不法分子开脱的理由。

还有专家表示，由于问题鸡蛋产生的原因可能是有人在饲料中违规添加了三聚氰胺，所以食用过问题饲料的鸡，体内也有存在三聚氰胺的可能，尤其是鸡内脏，特别容易积聚三聚氰胺等有害物质。（央视网）

营养专家：弃食鸡蛋很可惜
广州番禺区养生保健协会有关专家说，鸡蛋含丰富优质蛋白，蛋氨酸含量丰富，而且含钾、钠、镁、磷等重要微营养素，没有哪种食物可以完全替代鸡蛋中的营养。

同时，华东医院营养科陈霞飞主任营养师接受媒体采访时也表示，鸡蛋是很好的营养品。虽然鱼类、虾类等食物中也含有较高蛋白质，但鸡蛋中的软磷脂、维生素A等对人体很有好处。如果因为害怕而盲目不吃鸡蛋的话，则很可惜。我国已对牛奶中三聚氰胺中的含量做出标准规定，低于标准含量是安全的，人体自身完全可以处理、排出。

番禺区食安办也发出提醒：市场上买的散装鸡蛋蛋壳上有大量大肠杆菌、沙门氏菌，食用前需用洗涤剂清洗蛋壳，否则或污染食物。（信息时报）
 

孕妇吃含三聚氰胺产品不影响胎儿
几日前，香港鸡蛋被检出所含三聚氰胺超标，并称这可能跟鸡的饲料有关。目前虽在广州没有发现问题鸡蛋，但却引发新一轮"隐形"不安全感：万一有而没被检查出来怎么办？有读者询问记者孕妇吃了含量超标的产品会不会影响胎儿健康呢？

广州市妇女儿童医疗中心妇婴院区儿童保健科林穗芳告诉记者，三聚氰胺可以通过成人(孕妇本身)代谢掉，它是不会渗入到胎盘影响胎儿健康的。准妈妈们不用太担心了。

据食品安全专家陈君石院士介绍，美国食品药品监管局设定三聚氰胺的人群每天耐受摄入量为0.63毫克/公斤体重。那么以此推算，一个60公斤的成年人需要食用含有三聚氰胺15毫克/公斤的奶粉超过5斤才会影响泌尿系统健康。

同样，按照香港出现的某品牌鸡蛋三聚氰胺超标量计算，一个3岁的幼童每天要吃12个，一个60公斤的成年人每天要吃114个，他的三聚氰胺的含量可能才能超过安全值。正常人根本不会达到这个食用量。 超标，立即停止吃那样食物，三聚氰胺会排出，不会对人体健康造成危害。另外，多喝水也可以稀释三聚氰胺含量。(中国食品科技网)
