Because eggshells are mainly composed of calcium carbonate, they may decompose at high temperature and release some harmful substances, such as calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. These substances may have adverse effects on human health. In addition, other substances, such as chicken excrement or bacteria, may remain on the eggshell surface, which may also pose a threat to food safety.
Therefore, it is recommended not to try to eat egg shells, especially those with bar codes. If you want to eat eggs, you should choose fresh and intact eggs to cook.
