September 30 marks the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional holiday in China. As families gather to appreciate the full moon, indulging in mooncakes is an indispensable tradition. Currently, a myriad of mooncakes have flooded the shelves of major supermarkets, even in overseas Chinese stores. The most popular among these are the salted egg yolk and lotus seed paste mooncakes, a delectable blend of savory egg yolk enveloped in sweet, smooth lotus paste that is truly tempting.
But recently it has been uncovered that the golden hue of egg yolks might not originate from genuine duck eggs but could potentially be the result of synthetic processes.
Xin Jifei, a Chinese influencer renowned for exposing food scandals in China, has shed light on this counterfeit egg yolk production.
