According to reports, the main component of artificial eggs and real eggshells is calcium carbonate, but artificial eggs also contain a small amount of gypsum. The composition of egg white and yolk is completely different from that of real eggs.

It is understood that this artificial egg with various chemicals as the main component was sold as early as 10 years ago. Artificial eggs are found in many parts of the country, but rarely in Guangdong. Although the chemicals used to make artificial eggs do not contain toxic components, there is no national standard for such artificial eggs at present. Most of them are illegally produced by some underground manufacturers, and their nutritional value is extremely low. Therefore, we must eat carefully and eat less.
