Overall Plan for Rapid Inspection of Egg Quality and Safety: A Guide to Improving Industrial Safety

As an important non-staple food in our country, poultry eggs are not only rich in nutrients, but also an indispensable part of the table. However, in recent years, with the changes in the breeding environment and the emergence of feed safety management and other issues, the quality and safety risks of salmonella, veterinary drug residues, heavy metals exceeding standards in poultry eggs have attracted much attention. In order to fundamentally ensure the quality and safety of poultry eggs and promote the high-quality development of the industry, a scientific and efficient "Comprehensive Plan for Rapid Inspection of Egg Quality and Safety" has become an industry consensus. The plan focuses on "prevention first, full control and rapid response", and traces the control from the source to the end point to build a safety protection network covering the entire chain of poultry egg production, processing and circulation.

From the source, the breeding process is the first line of defense for the quality and safety of poultry eggs. The plan clearly requires regular monitoring of the environment of poultry houses, feed raw materials, and drinking water quality. Screening for microbial indicators such as salmonella and avian influenza viruses and harmful substances such as aflatoxins through rapid detection equipment, timely detection and control of the source of pollution. For example, the use of colloidal gold immunochromatography test strips can complete the rapid detection of Salmonella within 15 minutes, providing real-time early warning for breeding entities and preventing problem eggs from flowing into the next link.

The acquisition and temporary storage link focuses on the quality screening of poultry eggs themselves. The plan proposes to equip the egg purchase station with portable testing equipment to quickly evaluate the freshness, damage rate, and pollutant residue of eggs. Near-infrared spectroscopy technology can quickly determine the moisture content in the egg, egg yolk index and other freshness indicators, combined with Raman spectroscopy detection technology, can identify whether there are antibiotic residues within 3 minutes, to ensure that the eggs entering the processing process meet safety standards. Rapid detection in the

processing process is the key to ensuring product safety. For egg processing enterprises, the plan recommends establishing a "online + sampling" dual detection mechanism: online detection can monitor the microbial indicators and pH value of the processing water in real time, and quickly judge the cleaning and disinfection effect by ATP bioluminescence detection method; the sampling process uses PCR technology to amplify and analyze possible pathogenic bacteria gene fragments to ensure that the hygiene control during processing meets standards. At the same time, the plan emphasizes the regular and rapid testing of the hand hygiene of the processing personnel and the air cleanliness of the production environment, etc., to reduce the risk of pollution from the personnel and environmental level.

The rapid detection of the circulation link is an important link connecting production and consumption. In the end point sales places such as farmers' markets and supermarkets, the promotion of miniaturized and portable testing equipment, such as hand-held colloidal gold detectors, test strip colorimetric cards, etc., allows regulators and consumers to quickly obtain egg safety information. For example, consumers can scan the code to view the test report of the batch of poultry eggs, including key indicators such as salmonella and pesticide residues, forming a "transparent" quality supervision system.

In addition to technical means, the program also covers standards and specifications, personnel training and traceability system construction. Unify the standard methods and operating procedures for rapid inspection of poultry egg quality and safety to ensure the accuracy and comparability of test results; Regularly conduct technical training for testing personnel to improve their operation proficiency and problem judgment ability; Build an electronic traceability system for the whole chain of "breeding-acquisition-processing-circulation", bind the test data to the traceability code of poultry eggs, and realize the rapid positioning and recall of quality problems.

Implement the overall program of rapid inspection of poultry egg quality and safety, which can not only effectively reduce the risk of poultry egg safety and enhance the market competitiveness of products, but also provide consumers with poultry egg products that "eat with confidence". With the continuous advancement of technology, the future of the program will also be integrated into AI image recognition, Internet of Things sensing and other intelligent technologies to achieve real-time transmission and early warning of detection data, to promote the poultry and egg industry to a safer, more efficient and more intelligent direction.
