“…Tangni et al reported that home-produced eggs may contribute 1.0% of the PMTDI (1 μg/kg BW/day) for human exposure to DON. The detection of such high levels of mycotoxins in eggs as well as the frequent contamination of chicken meat justify screening a larger number of eggs and tissues over a wider geographical area, particularly in China, where chicken eggs are an important contributor to the human diet [ 36 ]. As little information about mycotoxins in poultry products is available in China, it is necessary to evaluate the occurrence of multiple mycotoxins in those products.…”

Aflatoxins (AFs), deoxynivalenols (DONs), and zearalenones (ZENs) are common mycotoxins that contaminate feedstuff, causing contamination of poultry products. In our study, these mycotoxins were quantified in 152 egg samples collected from markets in Jiangsu (JS), Zhejiang (ZJ), and Shanghai (SH) and in 70 chicken tissue samples (liver, heart, and gizzard) from ZJ in China. The main mycotoxins observed in egg samples were DON, 15-AcDON, and ZEN, although only ZEN family mycotoxins (ZEN, α-ZEL, β-ZEL, and α-ZAL) were detected in chicken tissues. Furthermore, for the first time, we assessed the health risks of exposure of three populations (children, adults, and elder adults) to DONs (DON, 3-AcDON, and 15-AcDON) and ZEN in eggs (from three different areas) and to ZEN in chicken tissues. We show that the mean dietary intake (DI) values and the 97.5th percentile DI values of DON and ZEN through egg ingestion were lower than the provisional maximum tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) (1 μg/kg body weight (BW)/day) for the three populations in the three geographical areas studied. However, eggs contaminated with high levels of DONs and ZEN contributed to a large proportion of the PMTDI of these mycotoxins, especially in children and elder adults. Although ZEN was highly detected in the chicken tissues, no significant health risk was observed.

“…Rapid economic growth, improved supply chains and favourable prices have led to a constant rise in egg consumption. Improving the national food security is a major long-term strategy of the Government and so it has encouraged the development of the laying hen industry within the country (Iddamalgoda et al, 2001;Windhorst, 2006). China has a 5000 year history of egg production but, for almost all of this time, this has been achieved by small-scale backyard family units.…”

China has been the world's largest producer of eggs for the last 30 years. There have been considerable recent changes in the structure of the egg industry due to rapid economic growth, improved supply chains and favorable prices. The objective of this report is to examine the changes in the egg industry in China with a special focus on the methods used by poultry producers for egg production within the country. Egg production in China continues to provide the population with a high proportion of their intake of high quality dietary protein. Egg consumption will continue to increase with the rise in the urban population. It is probable that the major increase in demand for eggs will be for out of home consumption and their use in processed food products. Higher levels of production are associated with the spread of intensive systems. The poultry sector is no longer dominated by hundreds of millions of smallholders keeping birds as a sideline activity and many small farmers have ceased production. It is expected that the intensification process will continue to increase. Chinese consumers are becoming more focused on the quality and safety of eggs. Therefore the future developments in the egg production may concentrate on egg quality, safety and traceability of eggs.

Association between egg consumption and cognitive function among Chinese adults: long-term effect and interaction effect of iron intake

The association between egg consumption and cognitive function is inclusive. We aimed to assess the association between egg consumption and cognitive function in Chinese adults and tested the interaction between egg consumption and Fe intake. The data used were from a nationwide sample (n 4852, age ≥ 55 years) from the China Health and Nutrition Survey between 1991 and 2006. Assessment of cognitive function was conducted in 1997, 2000, 2004 and 2006. Dietary egg intake was obtained by 24-h dietary recalls of 3 consecutive days during home visits between 1991 and 2006. Multivariable mixed linear regression and logistic regression were used. Egg intake was positively associated with global cognitive function. In fully adjusted models, across the quartiles of egg intake the regression coefficients were 0, 0·11 (95 % CI –0·28, 0·51), 0·79 (95 % CI 0·36, 1·22) and 0·92 (95 % CI 0·43, 1·41), respectively. There was a significant interaction between egg intake and Fe intake. The association between high egg intake and cognitive function was stronger among those with low Fe intake than those with high Fe intake. In addition, there was a significant interaction between egg consumption and sex, with the association mainly observed in women but not men. Furthermore, compared with non-consumers, those with higher egg consumption (Q4) had the OR of 0·93 (95 % CI 0·74, 1·19), 0·84 (95 % CI 0·69, 1·02) for self-reported poor memory and self-reported memory decline, respectively. Higher egg intake is associated with better cognition in Chinese adults among those with low Fe intake.
