In addition to selling soil-filled eggs and eggs with artifically dyed yolks, some devious manufacturers are synthesizing their own "eggs":
"The chemicals used in synthesizing the faked eggs include baifan (alumen), gelatine, lactone, carboxymethyl cellulose, calcium choride, sodium alga acid, sodium benzoate, lysine, paraffin wax, calcium carbide, gypsum powder and so on (chart 1). Although the chemicals used are not severely toxic, some of them post some long-term health risks when consumed or overdosed ( 2 , 3 ). For example, baifan (alumen) has been linked to Alzhmer's disease if consumed for a prolonged period of time ( 2 ). Exposure to calcium carbide by faked egg producers due to carelessness can cause immediate irritation to the eyes and skin in the short term, while lung-irritation related bronchitis might arise in the long run ( 13 )."

That piece alone blew my mind, not to mention the subissues of how you came across this tidbit of enlightenment, ... and all that before I even begin to consider the alumen implications.
