Ulsan Health and Environment Institute Conducts Antibiotic and Pesticide Tests at 19 Locations Including Large Mart

All eggs distributed in Ulsan have been found to be safe for consumption, according to a recent investigation.


The Ulsan City Health and Environment Research Institute announced on the 3rd that all eggs distributed in traditional markets and large supermarkets in the Ulsan area were confirmed to be 'suitable' after testing for harmful residual substances.


This inspection was conducted by randomly collecting eggs from 19 handling businesses, including specialized edible egg collection and sales businesses and large supermarkets, over the course of November to verify the safety of eggs, which are commonly consumed daily.


The test items included 18 types of veterinary drugs frequently used on farms and 34 types of pesticides and other substances that pose a high risk of residue in eggs if exposed through livestock environments.


All test results were deemed suitable, indicating that the eggs are safe to eat.



The Health and Environment Research Institute stated, "We plan to continue monitoring eggs at the distribution stage to ensure the safety of eggs, a representative food for the public."
