Red yolk duck eggs on Beijing market proved poisoning
(CCTV) Updated: 2006-11-13 15:35

The yolk of an egg (L) from a duck fed normally is
compared with the yolk of one fed with Sudan IV-mixed feed, an illegal substance
in China. On Sunday CCTV ran a report that claimed the red yolk duck eggs from
Bai Yang Dian on the Beijing market were laid by ducks that had been fed Sudan
IV, an industrial dye that may cause cancer in humans if eaten. Some farmers in
Bai Yang Dian, Hebei province are using the dye to make red-yolk eggs in an
attempt to attract customers. [CCTV photo]
