Chemical pesticide pollution: 460,000 eggs contaminated by pesticide Finney, egg residue Finney is extremely high

Pesticide Fenpronil contaminated eggs incident again! In 2017, the outbreak of non-usable Finney eggs in Taiwan affected millions of eggs (see the end of the article for the memorabilia). This year, Finney poisoned eggs occurred again in Changhua! On January 25, three eggs sampled by the agricultural administration unit in Shunhong Ranch, Changhua County, were found to have excessive fenpronil residues, with detection levels of 0.03, 0.04 and 0.06 ppm respectively (residue standard is 0.01 ppm). All of the illegal eggs were sold to Taipei City Trade Xinhui Egg Store, and downstream sold to retail investors and breakfast operators in Shuangbei City. A total of 7480 catties, about 74,800 eggs, were eaten by consumers.

A total of 7,480 kg of eggs with FENPINE residues have been identified so far.(The batch inspected on January 25 was sold on January 27-28), and Shunhong Ranch sold another 1,929 boxes of eggs between January 29 and February 13.(38580 kilograms, 385,800 eggs), the vice-chairman of the Agricultural Committee Huangjincheng said, may all these eggs have been "dart", by consumers to eat, but because of the lapse of several days, may not be able to detect Fenpney,"Fenpney metabolism in hens very fast, January 25 problematic eggs, 27 days after the test may not come out."

News dictionary: Finney is a pesticide, but also can do environmental medicine, chicken should not be used. However, for different uses, the applicable management methods and residue standards are different. For pesticides, they can be purchased directly from pesticide stores. For environmental drugs, there are different concentrations. Some people can buy them. Some people need to submit a plan by the vector disinfection industry. Only after approval can they obtain a license to purchase.
