KUALA TERENGGANU: More than 70,000 chicken eggs that scattered after a lorry carrying the load overturned in an accident in Kemaman on Wednesday (Feb 19)are unsafe to eat, as they have been exposed to potential contamination from the surrounding area.
Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Food Biochemistry and Biophysics Lecturer Assoc Prof Dr Mohamad Khairi Mohd Zainol explained that several dangerous bacteria can contaminate eggs. These include Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Clostridium perfringens, and Staphylococcus aureus.
