Since late July in 2017，pesticide fipronil had been detected in eggs from Netherlands，Germany，Belgium and other European countries. Subsequently，precarious public opinions lasting for over a month evolved into food safety crisis that affected Europe and Asia. Eggs and egg products from 45 countries and areas，including Hong Kong and Taiwan，China，were influenced by this crisis. As fresh eggs and egg products from EU were not permitted to enter the Chinese mainland market，China’s layer poultry farms and broiler chicken quality were not affected so far. Related public opinions started to cool down since mid-September，but the crisis had aroused public attention towards regulatory mechanism for food safety in Europe. Besides，this event also inspired China in layer poultry farming and regulation.
