Benzoic acid is a common food additive for conservation. Yes, it is very harmful in high quantities (I work in a paint factory, we use it as well) but as usual: dosage makes the poison. Calcium chloride isn't particularly harmful when ingested, high concentration may cause irritation of the skin in your mouth an esophagus. Since we can assume they the technical variety which is not inteded for consumption, it will most likely contain trace amounts of salts of other metals (e.g. aluminum, barium) which may indeed cause liver damage, as Mr. Idris mentioned. It is just so hard to believe that the is money to be made forging eggs. I'm not saying this story isn't true, I'm just amazed at the ingeniousness and ruthlessness of some people.
+Fierce Deity its a reference to breaking bad, a series breaking bad is a figure of speech that means: to become bad, so breaking good is the opposite...
+Chuka Amur Well they if they make fake eggs, they dont have to house the chickens, feed them or look after them. so in the end, they probably save more than they spend. just my two cents.
I have chickens, they lay eggs with all these characteristics, some dark, some runny whites, sometimes the yolk is like water, sometimes they're huge sometimes misshapen. These are all naturally occurring things and eggs are insanely cheap, chickens eat bugs, and turn em into eggs, there's almost no way you could manufacture fake eggs cheaper, totally fake.
I totally don't understand how they say to "spot" the fake eggs. We have chickens we raise for eggs at home. My chickens eggs, as the hens get a little older their eggs are larger and easier to break the yolk. Also, most of the eggs have more marks than what we buy at the market... The totally smooth and shiny brown eggs seem more odd to me lol
Ok, so the video I watched before this one was about Chinese street vendors using oil found in the RAW SEWAGE for cooking oil substitute. It shows a lady taking off a street side sewer lid and lowering a large scooping tool and plopping the white ooze into a bucket. Then the video says that in actuality because of the lack of available cooking oil that 1/10th of their cooking oil is from sewers. It has become a lucrative market for oil collectors. The argument is that the oil is taken to a processing facility that sterilizes the oil to make it edible. However, it is loaded with chemicals not normally found and to be carcinogenic. Then I go to this video. I tell you this one is not too hard to believe. For those of you can't wrap your head around the economics of fake chicken eggs, this is a simple thing. Try to imagine a factory that has reduced the process down to 30 seconds for a few hundred eggs and could actually mass manufacture them. I could easily imagine the process. Step 1. Inject the calcium into mold and spin bake. Step 2. While curing inject white substitute, Step 3. Inject yellow. Step 4. Sear with hot needle tip to close white while extracting. Step 5. Cool and eject from mold. If you doubt it, you might consider the desperation of the circumstance. If 1/10th of the cooking oil found in Chinese cooking is from sewage, then you may have to consider that much is possible. I honestly don't know if these are scare tactics and perhaps some kind of propaganda brain washing anti-Chinese crap. But I tell you there is allot of stories like this. Another disturbing story is the one about Chinese death vans. So the story is that they have a dna database of Chinese prisoners and when wealthy foreigners (I think Japanese) can come over and order body parts. So they load a prisoner in the mobile death van and take him to the airport and along the way they execute him/her and take out the body part then and there so it arrives "FRESH" to the customer ready for transplant. So the story goes.... Before the oil video I watched the "meat glue" video. So they take these enzymes from pigs blood or cow whatever, and they use them to fabricate a whole piece of meat. That way they can take tid bit scraps and glue them together so to create a high quality steak. The "meat glue" I think is absolute true. You and I (All Americans) have been eating this from restaurants for decades. It has been a well guarded secret from those in the trade. It is also said to be very unhealthy and is deception anyway. I really don't know what to think about people any more.
+RJSoftware2000 Agree 100% and that with the meat glue, we've been aware of for years here in Denmark. It's true. And some meats, they pump up with water or other fluids to make it heavier for profit.
Wrong, REAL eggs have darker yellow or orange yolks, they also come in a variety of shapes and sizes and even colors, yes, green and blue eggshells are real, fake eggs are pale yellow and always have the same shape and size as the next one in the box
+Harley Dozer Its amazing if it could be really fake!! and don't see the difference, I will knowingly buy the fake one if proved to be fake!! Just the for wow factor!
I'm not sure about this one, the only reason I could see someone going through the hassle of making fake eggs is if they are hiding drugs in them. I don't think fake eggs would be cost effective if they're being sold as the real thing, sold as fake eggs they're already a novelty. Like someone else said, the characteristics found in these eggs can also be found in chicken laid eggs. There's a site that list strange eggs
Our flock of 7 only costs us around $20 per month and they provide around about 10 dozen eggs per month give or take. It's much cheaper if you keep your own chickens.
Fake egg has started to appear in Bangladeshi market. It is so annoying and peoples are stopping eating eggs. They are large, compared to normal eggs, and all are of same shape and size. That's an interesting tip to identify them externally. The shopkeepers said they are imported eggs. When you break them, the thin white membrane lining the shell should be absent, I guess.
Well that's a load of BS, gelatin in place of egg whites!?! The two proteins react completely differently to heat! Gelatin melts, egg whites solidify...one cannot fake the other!
This is somewhat funny, because since when were egg shells not rough? In a free range situation the shells are often rough compared to ones you purchase in the store
@FaydL2 Well not technically, it is not a regular form of salt and acts more of a firming agent in food. Only a small amount (Which is what we actually intake) is safe. Otherwise it's most commonly used as road salt.
Being the owner of two free-range hens I can say that their eggs actually turn out very abnormal sometimes. Like one of them once laid an egg that was almost 2 times bigger than an average store bought! The way this video makes it seem, we have to look out for bigger eggs. Maybe that would be the case if you found a store bought egg that was much larger, but organic? Nah man.
Both benzoic acid and calcium chloride are used in the Food Industry for preserving and salting food respectively. Relatively small amounts are used in the industry and there does not seem to be any research into giving test subjects more 2 and a half grams of either chemical. With these amounts, there does not seem to be ill side effects on healthy subjects. If you exceed these amounts who knows. Unfortunately so much of our food have these and other additives, maybe we should be just as concerned about these?
how can people be so stupid to think someone is making fake eggs. can you imagine how much harder it is to make something out of chemicals that could even resemble the real thing? Those fake eggs would be like 20 times more expensive if they existed.
i live in the country, the real benefit of that is all the local farmers markets there are... nothing better than fresh produce grown very close to home lol.
Brown rice is less processed than white rice and whole wheat flour is less processed than white flour so are closer to natural, but doesn't keep as long.
I never would have thought that faking an egg could even be done let along it becoming financially viable. I don't care anyway because I only ever eat white duck eggs and they come from a highly reputable source, besides, you can tell by the taste that it's real and the streaks on the shell are a good indicator.
Holy shit, I've been in China and I noticed this kind of stuff. I always wondered how my grandma could beat an egg so smoothly so quickly. Even a notice cook like I could mix these eggs in an instant.
Well when people say something fake is full of chemicals we must remember every single thing is made of chemicals. You can't make something without matter, and technically every single compound of the elements is a chemical
hahahaha whaaaat My free range chickens lay all kinds of different shapes colors and most of all fresh eggs have dark rich yokes that make store bought eggs look and taste like runny bouncy super balls
Actually I think this could be quite real. Some people don't care about anything other than making money. Raising and maintaining enough chickens to produce enough eggs to earn a decent living costs money. Once you buy the supplies to make the fake eggs, you're done spending money. All you would have to do is make the product and immediately sell it. And I imagine a person with a well-developed technique could probably produce far more in a day than what an egg farm could supply. This is really strange...but kind of interesting lol. Not to mention, Chinese counterfeiters will fake just about anything for profit. iPhones, iPads, Bentley cars, Rolex watches, Starbucks coffee, even toothpaste for gods sake Xb. This honestly wouldn't surprise me to be true.
If I wrote "Super sexy model" across my shirt would you just believe it was true without looking at my ugly-ass face? Of course they won't put fake eggs in a box labelled "fake-ass eggs for dumb-ass people".
My brother works at a restaurant in florida all of their eggs have two yolks when cracked. Every single one... how is yt? His possible unless its engineering
Not if you don't have the proper infrastructure for mass producing fresh eggs. Especially when in China, manpower costs pennies a day and chemicals is a dime gallon.
Tipu lah... When the egg white is not strong enough to hold up the yolk and the yolk breaks easily, that is an indication that the egg is NOT FRESH. That's all!
hell yeah, how the hell do you make a fake egg? that's just crazy...damn they're counterfitting everything...Hey man I got these eggs yo! they just like real eggs...cook em up and see....

Are they laid by fake chickens?
chineese chickens
Breaking good Shouldn't your name be Fixing Good?
Breaking good Chickity china, the Chinese chicken... Have a drumstick and your brain starts clickin!
Lol XD
+Fierce Deity its a reference to breaking bad, a series
breaking bad is a figure of speech that means: to become bad, so breaking good is the opposite...
Eggs are REALLY cheap how much it costs to make fake eggs
+Chuka Amur cheaper
+Chuka Amur More than it costs to make eggs.
+Chuka Amur Well they if they make fake eggs, they dont have to house the chickens, feed them or look after them. so in the end, they probably save more than they spend. just my two cents.
In my native Iceland most of our eggs are organic.
more than you can afford, pal
I have chickens, they lay eggs with all these characteristics, some dark, some runny whites, sometimes the yolk is like water, sometimes they're huge sometimes misshapen. These are all naturally occurring things and eggs are insanely cheap, chickens eat bugs, and turn em into eggs, there's almost no way you could manufacture fake eggs cheaper, totally fake.
Grow and raise your own food....stay out of stores period!!
I totally don't understand how they say to "spot" the fake eggs. We have chickens we raise for eggs at home. My chickens eggs, as the hens get a little older their eggs are larger and easier to break the yolk. Also, most of the eggs have more marks than what we buy at the market...

Made in China

Does Robot Chicken lay these fake eggs?
So close to being a funny comment. So close.
+The Butler Did It no mcdonald's lays these fake eggs
Wrong, REAL eggs have darker yellow or orange yolks, they also come in a variety of shapes and sizes and even colors, yes, green and blue eggshells are real, fake eggs are pale yellow and always have the same shape and size as the next one in the box
It would cost more to build a fake egg than to just get a real one from a hen. I'm calling BS for this video.
+Harley Dozer Its amazing if it could be really fake!! and don't see the difference, I will knowingly buy the fake one if proved to be fake!! Just the for wow factor!
+Harley Dozer It would not

I'm ashamed to say I am Chinese for once I'm still proud but FAKING EGGS COME ON!!!
McDonalds will scoop this up
should i return the eggs i just bought from ebay?
Well that's a load of BS, gelatin in place of egg whites!?! The two proteins react completely differently to heat! Gelatin melts, egg whites solidify...one cannot fake the other!
WWWWWWHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
what is the nutritional value of these fake eggs?
I had chickens and sometimes they laid "unusual shaped eggs" so that's not a good way to determine a "fake egg"
Every egg package i see in the supermarket is Fake, Do chickens lay them with production date?
This would be like counterfeiting nickles. I'm not buying.
Glad that things like these aren't legal to sell in Denmark.
it sounded more expensive than real eggs.
the more i think, the more i get curious on how they made the egg...
This is somewhat funny, because since when were egg shells not rough? In a free range situation the shells are often rough compared to ones you purchase in the store
Can u still cook it? Does it cook normal???
@FaydL2 Well not technically, it is not a regular form of salt and acts more of a firming agent in food. Only a small amount (Which is what we actually intake) is safe. Otherwise it's most commonly used as road salt.
They used so many chemicals and manpower to make that fake egg. Wouldn't that make the fake egg more expensive than a real egg?
yeah, really hard to see the difference between a HUGE brown fake egg and a real small egg..
Being the owner of two free-range hens I can say that their eggs actually turn out very abnormal sometimes. Like one of them once laid an egg that was almost 2 times bigger than an average store bought! The way this video makes it seem, we have to look out for bigger eggs.

Unfortunately so much of our food have these and other additives, maybe we should be just as concerned about these?
@FaydL2 Agreed, and so are gelatin and alum.. I wonder if people even understand what a "chemical" is..
I wonder whether they taste the same...
...and that's where the fake eggs come from - from fake chickens.
how can people be so stupid to think someone is making fake eggs. can you imagine how much harder it is to make something out of chemicals that could even resemble the real thing? Those fake eggs would be like 20 times more expensive if they existed.
wouldn't it be more expensive to make these fake eggs than to raise egg-laying hens?
i live in the country, the real benefit of that is all the local farmers markets there are... nothing better than fresh produce grown very close to home lol.
Who would do such a thing and why?
This is funking insane! Thanks.
that is paradox!! how do you build a fake egg, anyway? LOLs!!
In the near future: "Beware of fake human!"
The manufacturers have gone too far with this.
Brown rice is less processed than white rice and whole wheat flour is less processed than white flour so are closer to natural, but doesn't keep as long.
Should I worry about my cadburry eggs on Easter?
Illegal and immoral activities of Chinese business are jeopardizing the well-being of the world.
Do common fast food places in the US have fake eggs? it has those prop 65 warning health labels.
how???
@superfreakinawesome8: They seal the egg with wax. The yolk and wax form a chemical reaction.
lol the person that made the fake deserves a prize, i mean how many people thought of how to make it?
thanks for the information ...
well that settles the question which one came first..
How expensive is a damn egg that you need to fake it?
@superfreakinawesome8 : they make the yolk first, then the white and then put the egg in a liquid which will form a shell around it
I never would have thought that faking an egg could even be done let along it becoming financially viable.
I don't care anyway because I only ever eat white duck eggs and they come from a highly reputable source, besides, you can tell by the taste that it's real and the streaks on the shell are a good indicator.
Holy shit, I've been in China and I noticed this kind of stuff. I always wondered how my grandma could beat an egg so smoothly so quickly. Even a notice cook like I could mix these eggs in an instant.
Well when people say something fake is full of chemicals we must remember every single thing is made of chemicals. You can't make something without matter, and technically every single compound of the elements is a chemical
Why fake eggs? Aren't there enough chickens? Wouldn't this cost more to manufacture than just letting chickens lay real eggs?
hahahaha whaaaat My free range chickens lay all kinds of different shapes colors
and most of all fresh eggs have dark rich yokes that make store bought eggs look and taste like runny bouncy super balls
the eggs that are all the same are the fake ones
There are some big businessmen behind this.
*Only in China*
that indonesia bro!
You two Was wrong That Malaysia
What came first? The fake chicken, or the fake egg?
:(
I wish there is people selling fake chicken also..
dogs,cats,moms,dads,and everything else
please destroy the groups making fake things.or give them heavy punnishment.
Congrat and thanks for revealing this.
The real question is what came first? The fake egg or the fake chicken??
This story is fake. Eggs are almost free. There is no profit in manufacturing fake ones.
Actually I think this could be quite real. Some people don't care about anything other than making money. Raising and maintaining enough chickens to produce enough eggs to earn a decent living costs money. Once you buy the supplies to make the fake eggs, you're done spending money. All you would have to do is make the product and immediately sell it. And I imagine a person with a well-developed technique could probably produce far more in a day than what an egg farm could supply. This is really strange...but kind of interesting lol.
Not to mention, Chinese counterfeiters will fake just about anything for profit. iPhones, iPads, Bentley cars, Rolex watches, Starbucks coffee, even toothpaste for gods sake Xb. This honestly wouldn't surprise me to be true.
What's next fake humans??
+Matthew most humans are fake...you dont know that?!
Does the fake egg actually taste like a real egg?
haha my eggs are free range and organic :D
mmm can I have some
If I wrote "Super sexy model" across my shirt would you just believe it was true without looking at my ugly-ass face?
Of course they won't put fake eggs in a box labelled "fake-ass eggs for dumb-ass people".
my eggs are from my grandparents hens...
So...they're not yours then?
:P
lol
gives new meaning to "easter egg" i suppose
My brother works at a restaurant in florida all of their eggs have two yolks when cracked. Every single one... how is yt? His possible unless its engineering
Uh, you mean sodium chloride? Because THAT"S salt
Remember what you said... In 2014 mcdonalds will use them.. So get ready.. Haha
How the hell do you make a fake egg?
@FaydL2 Calcium chloride is a food additive that can be harmful. Sodium chloride is the salt you are thinking of.
OMG this is really something different
how do you compare this shit in the market grocry or supermarket??
Are you SERIOUS? FAKE EGGS? Fake how?! Like, not from a chicken? From a machine?
Gelatine and poison thats even worse then real eggs.
What happen when boiled ??
You get fake bubbles and fake steam. lmao. what a fake bs video.
Not if you don't have the proper infrastructure for mass producing fresh eggs. Especially when in China, manpower costs pennies a day and chemicals is a dime gallon.
Tipu lah... When the egg white is not strong enough to hold up the yolk and the yolk breaks easily, that is an indication that the egg is NOT FRESH. That's all!
You need room for chickens.
thx 4 this info
but i still cannot compare it,its look similar
isn't it sodium chloride?
Isn't it easier to just let chickens lay them?
i pray all the fake egg will be a real chicken.
I think they were intended to be toys!
CALCIUM CHLORIDE IS SO CAUSTIC IT BURNT FINGERNAILS OFF MY CLASS MATES AND TO KNOW I COULD BE EATING THAT
@FaydL2 isn't sa;t sodium chloride.... and if i'm not mistaken i heard calcium carbonate :D just saying :) no offense
It can't be cheap to make a fake egg, so how the Hell are they making a profit off of these unless they being sold in some Chinese Harodds store?
WOW ARE PEOPLE SO CHEAP THEY CANT GET CHICKENS TO LAY EGGS ANYMORE?
See those eggs your brought in China? They aren't eggs....
get your eggs at the supermarket... not some outside shop that you dont know
Chip? Billions of people eat them everyday...
@Jonsgirl4everr how does it taste thats what i want to know
hell yeah, how the hell do you make a fake egg? that's just crazy...damn they're counterfitting everything...Hey man I got these eggs yo! they just like real eggs...cook em up and see....
