A few days ago I read this article in The Standard, “Health alert after mainland fake eggs found” (Note: “Mainland” refers to China).
Fake eggs? I couldn't believe it, who wants to produce this. Let alone who wants to EAT this?

The reason these eggs are produced is of course money, The Standard writes fake eggs cost 1 to 5 Hong Kong Cent to produce compared to about 25 to 30 Cent for real eggs.

China is producing many fake goods and is copying designs, products etc. which is already bad enough. But producing fake food makes people sick and can even kill them.
Last year China had this big scandal about Melamine contaminated milk, a few years before fake milk powder for infants starved many babies to death. And there were many other similar incidents.

I really hope these fake eggs won't be available for long or cause a health alert like the last Melamine contaminated milk did.

Are there actually other countries who produce fake food? Please leave a comment if you know other incidents.
