koto_feja/E+ via Getty Images ImmunityBio ( IBRX ) added ~7% in the premarket on Wednesday after the company announced that the National Comprehensive Cancer Network has updated its treatment guidelines to include an expanded use of its bladder cancer therapy, Anktiva. Citing the updated 2026 NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Bladder Cancer, ImmunityBio ( IBRX ) said that the medical group has recommended Anktiva with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin for BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with papillary-only disease. The revised clinical guidelines expand the previous recommendation, which endorsed Anktiva with BCG for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary disease, the company added. According to ImmunityBio ( IBRX ), the update comes at a time when the FDA has yet to authorize the new indication under its approved indications for the immunotherapy. However, the company plans to expand FDA approval for Anktiva to include the new indication after the regulator issued a Refusal to File letter for its supplemental Biologics License Application last year.

Greece will soon propose a social media ban for anyone under 15 years old, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said. “The evidence is unambiguous,” he said at a Bloomberg event in Athens. “The addictive scrolling is damaging to their mental health, and we need to do something about it.” He said the proposal will arrive within “weeks,” adding, “the age limit we will set is going to be 15 years.” The move makes Greece the latest European country to try and restrict social media use for children and teenagers. France voted in January to ban children under 15 from using apps like Meta Platforms Inc. ’s Facebook and Instagram, ByteDance Ltd. ’s TikTok and Snap Inc. ’s Snapchat. Meanwhile, Spain has said it will block children from using social media platforms including Instagram and TikTok. Additionally, Portugal recently approved a bill restricting access for those under 16. Mitsotakis said he thought Europe would eventually move toward a unified approach on the matter. The momentum is likely to put the continent in conflict with US President Donald Trump , who has repeatedly denounced the European Union’s approach to digital regulations affecting large American tech firms. Still, Mitsotakis said such measures were an important check on these companies’ power. “We also need to honestly confront the platforms and tell them something very simple: You’re making enough money,” he said. “You don’t need to make money out of our children and our teenagers, as well.”

今年英伟达GTC大会上，除了新的AI芯片和市场纠结的光铜之争，最让人眼前一亮的就是太空算力赛道。英伟达新发布的VeraRubin太空模块，用于太空数据中心，轨道AI推理算力达H100的25倍。目前已有6家公司应用，Kepler已在卫星部署JetsonOrin。 当下全球都面临两个核心矛盾：一边是已油气为代表的能源安全越来越受重视，传统电力供给跟不上发展需求；另一边是AI大模型训练、数据中心运转要消耗海量电力，不少地面数据中心因为缺电卡了脖子。 这两个问题凑到一起，叠加中东数据中心的潜在安全隐忧，终极答案自然就浮出水面—— 把算力搬到太空去，让太空光伏提供源源不断的清洁能源，太空算力也就成了顺理成章的必然选择。 01 地面算力卡脖子，太空成了新出路 现在搞AI的都知道，数据中心就是“电老虎”。一个1GW规模的数据中心，7年下来光电费就得花超百亿美元，差不多占总投资的48%。 更头疼的是，想建个大型数据中心没那么容易。美国现在电网接入排队都要5年，加州个别项目甚至要等9年，就算建好厂房，通不上电也只能当摆设。 而且地面数据中心又占地方又耗资源，一个40MW的集群，10年就要消耗170万吨水。 随着AI算力需求指数级增长，电力、土地、散热这三大瓶颈越来越明显。 反观太空，简直是天然的算力圣地。没有昼夜交替，没有天气影响，太阳辐照度是地面的5倍，能近乎24小时稳定供电。再加上太空接近绝对零度的环境，散热根本不是问题，不用额外消耗能源搞冷却。 更关键的是， 太空不受物理空间限制，想建多大规模的算力集群都可以，模块化部署起来又快又灵活，完全不用受土地规划、审批流程的制约。 02 太空算力并非新概念，经济上已可行 其实太空算力在上个世纪就开始有应用了，同时很多人会觉得，把设备送到太空成本肯定高得离谱，其实现在不然。经过测算，当算力卫星的电源成本、发射成本加上太空机柜的制造溢价，只要不超过地面数据中心的电费支出，太空算力就具备性价比。 现在发射成本正在快速下降，马斯克预测未来单位重量发射成本能降到10美元/kg。按照这个目标测算，实现“太空算力平价”需要的光伏组件价格约1.3美元/W，虽然还是地面组件的10倍，但考虑到太空光伏的高可靠性和独家性，这个成本完全可控。 而且 太空算力把长期的“高电费+维护”成本，变成了一次性的制造和发射成本，长期来看反而更划算。 7年全生命周期算下来，...

USA and Venezuela play for title on Tuesday night Navy Seal gave locker room talk to Americans Venezuelans dance and sing before games The US will play Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday, a meeting that comes after recent tensions between the two countries. In January, Donald Trump ordered a military operation that captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro . Since then, the US has launched a war against Iran, during which the American players have paid tribute to their country’s military. Players have saluted each other after victories and the team invited Robert J O’Neill , a former Navy Seal who claimed he killed Osama bin Laden, to give a locker room speech. Two of the team’s pitchers, Paul Skenes and Griffin Jax, played at the Air Force Academy and have spoken of the importance of honoring the military. The choice of O’Neill received pushback as he called men who voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election as “my concubines” and been criticized by some for talking about secret military operations in public.

Quaker Chemical Corporation KWR is showing pockets of growth, even as many end markets stay muted. The company’s outgrowth is being shaped by sustained share gains and electric vehicle (EV)-related wins, with Asia/Pacific (APAC) doing much of the heavy lifting. That mix matters for 2026 because the company’s plan is built on scaling what is already working, while using self-help and integration discipline to protect margins. The Emerging Growth Engine Inside a Mature Portfolio KWR’s outgrowth thesis starts with share capture. Management expects 2-4% net share gains in 2026, with recent performance skewing toward the high end. That provides a path to grow even if underlying markets are flat to slightly down in the first half of 2026, followed by only a modest improvement in the second half. APAC has been the clearest proof point. The region has led organic volume growth through 2025, and in the fourth quarter delivered its 10th consecutive quarter of organic volume growth. In a flat macro backdrop, consistency like that can become the differentiator. Quaker Houghton Price and Consensus Quaker Houghton price-consensus-chart | Quaker Houghton Quote KWR’s EV OEM and Components as a Demand Pocket Within APAC, KWR’s durable volume trend is tied to continued wins in electric vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and components. These programs tend to be process-intensive and service-heavy, which fits KWR’s model of formulated chemistries supported by local technical resources. The fourth quarter of 2025 underscored the mix. APAC net sales rose 14.7% year over year, helped by 4% organic volume growth and a meaningful lift from acquisitions, primarily Dipsol. The headline is not one quarter. It is the run-rate: repeated organic growth through 2025, supported by EV OEM and component wins, keeps APAC positioned as the company’s growth leader into 2026. KWR China Operations as a 2026 Inflection Point The new China facility, scheduled to start in the second half of 2026...

Welcome to India Edition, Bloomberg’s daily dive into what’s moving the worlds of business, markets and politics in this dynamic, fast-paced economy. I’m Menaka Doshi . If you didn’t receive this directly in your inbox, you can subscribe here , and share feedback with us here . Today, I report on mixed war impact estimates, and my colleague Anup Roy examines what it will mean for inflation. Short-Lived The Iran war intensified today with more attacks on energy supplies driving crude back near $105 a barrel and threatening a two-day reprieve across markets. Nonetheless, India’s benchmark indices closed 0.7% higher today, a second day of gains, belying all the grim growth forecasts piling up in my inbox. The market relief is at best temporary , with experts mixed on what’s next. The key Nifty 50 index “could crash to ~21,000” if oil remains at $100 a barrel for three to four months, according to strategists including Seshadri Sen at Emkay Global. That oil price scenario “is not priced in, and we see ~10% further downside risk for the Nifty in the absence of a détente,” they said in a note. The correction would be temporary, and once crude normalizes to $70 a barrel, India’s economy and earnings should recover, providing an entry opportunity, they said. It’s time for “Operation Epic Churn,” said Sanjeev Prasad and team at Kotak Institutional Equities in a March 13 report. Their base case scenario is a few weeks of high-intensity conflict, several months of heightened tensions and normalization of oil and gas trade through the Strait of Hormuz over the next few weeks. That offers an opportunity to churn portfolios, add financials and reduce positions in expensive cement and consumer stocks, they said. The economic growth outlook varies too. If there’s no de-escalation, Garima Kapoor, economist at Elara Securities, expects a downside risk of a full percentage point to her FY27 growth estimate of 7.2% year-on-year. If oil stays above $100 a barrel for a year, the direct t...

机器人要是撞了、砸了，如何赔？2026年开年以来，财险公司继续发力具身智能保险赛道。 在业内看来，随着具身智能产业商业化提速，未来三年具身智能保险市场有望成为财险行业重要的新兴增长赛道。 三大险企差异化布局 当前具身智能机器人应用覆盖工业制造、物流仓储、商业服务等多个领域，设备精密程度高、运维成本高、新型风险频发，传统财险产品难以适配其特殊保障需求。 中国信息通信研究院2025年1月发布的《人形机器人产业发展研究报告（2024年）》预测，2035年到2040年，人形机器人整体进入Lv3等级，整机市场规模有望达到1000亿至3000亿元。 据市场研究机构QYResearch（恒州博智）今年3月发布的最新数据，2025年全球具身智能险市场销售额达到1.5亿美元，2032年预计达到7.11亿美元，年复合增长率（CAGR）为24.9%（2026-2032）。 看准这一领域，人保财险、太保产险、平安产险自2025年以来陆续推出保障具身智能商用场景的定制化保险产品，试图在保障范围、投保方式上找到突破口。 太保产险相关负责人告诉中新经纬，2025年9月，宁波分公司推出全国首个人形机器人专属保险“机智保”。该产品突破传统年度保单限制，支持按天、周、月投保，贯通“产、销、租、用”全链条的风险保障。该负责人透露，目前“机智保”主要面向整机制造商。太保产险已启动该产品的全国推广工作，并在苏州已有保单落地。 人保财险则主打“本体损失险+第三者责任险”双轨保障体系。人保财险相关负责人介绍，针对人形机器人从实验室走向商用的全过程，自2025年以来，公司推出了专门的保险解决方案。保障由传统灾因、人为操作过失、电气和网络原因导致的本体损失，以及由意外事故造成的第三者责任。 该负责人举例称，人保财险保障的长三角地区某机器人租赁平台首批470余台人形机器人，若因碰撞或传动装置断裂导致毁损，每台最高可获得近40万元的维修费用赔偿。 平安产险也将产品覆盖到租赁领域。2026年1月初，平安产险联合上海电气融资租赁有限公司等，落地具身智能机器人“保险+租赁”保单，将保费分摊至租金中，降低企业前期一次性投入压力。该产品突破常规硬件保障局限，包含第三者责任、产品质量责任及信息泄露责任等综合保障，借助AI算法实现对风险的动态定价与实时风控。 面临高风险、缺数据等问题 作为新兴科技保险品类，行业仍面临诸多发展瓶颈。 ...

达美航空周二表示，尽管自伊朗战争爆发以来航空公司面临燃油价格上涨，但公司仍维持第一季度利润指引，并上调了营收预期。 首席执行官埃德·巴斯蒂安告诉媒体，迄今为止，达美航空第四季度已因此遭受4亿美元的损失，但需求“真的非常强劲”，这导致营收增长高于航空公司最初的指引。 “更高的收入不仅抵消了燃油成本，我们冬季也经历了相当严峻的暴风雪季节。”他说。“综合这些因素，我们预计每股收益将落在最初指引的50至90美分区间内。” 达美航空此前预测，2026年头三个月的销售额增长高达7%，第一季度调整后每股收益在50美分至90美分之间。 达美航空股价在盘前交易中上涨5%。 航空燃油是航空公司第二大成本，占费用的五分之一或更多，具体取决于航空公司。美联航首席执行官斯科特·柯比3月初告诉媒体，随着航空公司覆盖不断上涨的燃油成本，机票价格可能会上涨。 在周二早上提交的8-K文件中，达美航空表示，由于需求势头强劲，上调了营收指引，并指出主舱、高级客舱、会员忠诚度计划等方面表现强劲。该航空公司还表示，其国内和国际单位营收同比增长在中个位数。 达美航空补充称，公司拥有历史上最强劲的资产负债表。 巴斯蒂安表示，达美航空的大部分收入来自仍然想要旅行的消费较高的客户以及企业客户。 “本季度，我们见证了公司历史上十大销售日中的八个，其中五个就在过去两周内，也就是3月的最后一周内。”他说。“即使战争还在继续，我们的收入和预订量仍同比增长了25%。” 由于该航空公司去年同期的预订受到客户因关税担忧而退缩的影响，因此对比基数较低。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

The Securing AI Lab, built on NVIDIA AI factories within WWT’s AI Proving Ground, provides enterprises a validated path to secure, production-ready AI AUSTIN, Texas & ST. LOUIS, March 17, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World Wide Technology (WWT) and CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced the launch of the Securing AI with CrowdStrike Lab within WWT’s AI Proving Ground. Built on NVIDIA AI factories, the lab enables enterprises to test, validate, and deploy AI systems with unified security before moving into production. Enterprises are rapidly scaling AI factories and accelerated computing environments to support business-critical workloads. As AI adoption expands, so does risk – across infrastructure, cloud, and runtime. Organizations must embed protection against misconfigurations, data exposure, and prompt injection directly into the AI stack to innovate at scale without increasing risk. The Securing AI with CrowdStrike Lab enables organizations to integrate the Falcon® platform into AI environments built on the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design. The Falcon platform delivers unified protection across critical layers of enterprise AI environments, enabling teams to assess risk, validate controls, and accelerate secure AI deployment. By combining WWT’s infrastructure expertise and AI Readiness Model for Operational Resilience (ARMOR) with CrowdStrike’s platform for securing AI, customers can move from GPU investment to production with greater visibility, governance, and control. "AI is foundational to how modern enterprises operate and innovate, and security must evolve with it," said Daniel Bernard, chief business officer, CrowdStrike. "Together with WWT and NVIDIA, we’re enabling organizations to test the CrowdStrike Falcon platform directly within AI factory environments. This helps organizations move from experimentation to production-grade AI, with protection embedded across infrastructure, cloud, and runtime from day one." "Enterprises need more than t...

Lumentum stock and Coherent were dropping following Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s comments that his company will continue to use copper cables.

Quaker Chemical Corporation KWR is in a tug-of-war between improving fundamentals and a stock that has lagged meaningfully. Investors are weighing a discounted valuation against near-term friction from flat end markets, tariff uncertainty and integration-related costs. The setup is straightforward: if share gains and self-help initiatives translate into cleaner quarters and margin progress, the multiple can look too low. If execution stumbles, leverage and interest expense keep the debate alive. KWR’s Recent Underperformance KWR shares are down 18.3% over the past three months and 7.8% over the past year, even as key benchmarks posted gains over those same windows. That disconnect is why valuation is the starting point for the conversation. Investors are not debating whether the company has growth levers. They are debating whether those levers will show up fast enough to overcome near-term noise and re-rate the stock. Quaker Chemical’s Multiples and What They Imply KWR is currently trading at a forward 12-month earnings multiple of 13.91x. That sits below the Zacks sub-industry at 21.34x. Over the past five years, KWR has traded between 11.85x and 34.01x, with a five-year median of 20.99x. The current multiple is closer to the low end of that range, which signals skepticism about the durability of margins and the pace of earnings follow-through. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research KWR’s Earnings Bridge: Growth vs. Friction The operating bridge investors need to underwrite is rooted in 2026 expectations: mid-single-digit revenue growth paired with high-single-digit adjusted EBITDA growth, supported by an annual gross margin target of 36-37%. Management also expects first-quarter 2026 to mark a third consecutive quarter of year-over-year EBITDA improvement, helped by share gains and normalization from fourth-quarter operational issues. But the path is not frictionless. Underlying markets are expected to be flat in 2026, with the first half likely flat to slightly ...

Renunciation Of US Citizenship Just Got A Whole Lot Cheaper Authored by Adam Dick via the Ron Paul Institute , There was some good news for liberty on Friday. That is when a roughly 80 percent reduction in the fee the United States government imposes on individuals giving up their US citizenship took effect. The fee was lowered from 2,350 dollars to 450 dollars. The move toward implementing the fee reduction had been in progress for several years in reaction to a lawsuit against the US government. For people with enough wealth or recent income, or who don’t adequately establish their IRS tax compliance, there remains yet another payment the US government demands — an exit tax calculated based on the value of their assets. While the significant reduction in the citizenship renunciation fee is welcome news, it is disgraceful that the US government imposes any fee whatsoever. Back in August of 2017, I commented on the fee, stating: Most people who are US citizens did not choose to be such. They had that citizenship thrust on them as a matter of law upon their birth. To make people pay to give up citizenship for which they never asked is an abomination. It was only in 2010 that the fee on giving up US citizenship was introduced at 450 dollars, the same amount it returned to on Friday . Before 2010, individuals could renounce their US citizenship without the government demanding any fee. And the exit tax came into being just two years earlier — in 2008. How about next returning to the situation before 2008, when individuals could renounce their US citizenship without the imposing of either the fee or the tax? Tyler Durden Tue, 03/17/2026 - 08:05

Roman Tiraspolsky/iStock Editorial via Getty Images JetBlue ( JBLU ) updated its outlook for the first quarter as better-than-expected demand raised the carrier’s revenue guidance, but higher fuel costs and two major winter storms this year will likely result in lower capacity and lower available seat miles. The two winter storms in January and February reduced year-over-year capacity in the first quarter by approximately 3.5 points versus initial expectations. Accordingly, the carrier now expects available seat mile (ASM) to decline by 1% to 2% from initial guidance for an increase of 0.5% to 3.5% previously. However, overall demand during the quarter strengthened compared to initial expectations, reflected in a boost to operating revenue per available seat mile guidance to up 5% and 7% versus prior guidance of flat to up 4%. This assumes increased demand for peak and non-peak periods across the carrier’s network. JetBlue ( JBLU ) also expects costs per available seat mile excluding fuel, or CASM-ex to be up between 6.5% and 7.5% compared to prior guidance of up 3.5% to 5.5%. This assumes an average fuel price of $3.01 to $3.06 per gallon, an increase of ~30% from the initial estimate. Finally, JetBlue ( JBLU ) updated its outlook for capital expenditures to ~$175M from ~$200M initially.

专题：聚焦美股2025年第四季度财报 集团面临美国关税、中国市场竞争及重组成本带来的压力 奥迪标志特写，深色背景上四个相扣的银色圆环。 简要总结 受业绩提升计划推动，奥迪预计 2026 年营业利润率将从 2025 年的 5.1% 提升至 6%–8%。 奥迪预计，随着其持续推进旨在削减成本、提升效率与竞争力的业绩提升计划，今年公司盈利能力将有所改善。 这家隶属于 大众汽车 集团的德国车企周二表示，预计今年营业利润率将达到 6% 至 8% ，高于 2025 年的 5.1%。 预计营收将在 630 亿至 680 亿欧元 （约 724.9 亿至 782.4 亿美元）之间，去年为 655 亿欧元。 奥迪集团旗下包含奥迪、宾利、兰博基尼和杜卡迪品牌，该集团此前面临多重财务压力： 美国关税、中国市场激烈竞争以及重组成本 ，这些因素曾导致其去年下调业绩预期。 “利润率与效率方面的压力依然很大，” 首席财务官于尔根・里特斯贝格表示。 “关键在于抓住所有运营与财务机遇，让奥迪变得更高效、更具竞争力、更盈利。” 为应对这些挑战，奥迪去年公布计划：未来数年 最多削减 7500 个岗位 ，同时采取措施提升德国工厂的生产效率、速度与灵活性。公司希望中期内每年实现 超 10 亿欧元 的成本节约。 该计划目前进展顺利：到 2027 年计划削减的 6000 个岗位中，约三分之二已落实或达成协议。奥迪表示，到 2029 年将通过退休计划再削减至多 1500 个岗位。 作为增长计划的一部分，奥迪在过去两年完成了产品阵容更新，共推出 20 款新车型 ，其中半数以上为纯电动车型。 今年，产品攻势将继续推进，重点包括全新旗舰 SUV 奥迪 Q9，以及全新紧凑型电动车型奥迪 A2 e-tron。改款奥迪 Q7、奥迪 Q4 e-tron 和高性能版奥迪 RS 5 也将上市。 在中国和美国市场，奥迪正通过针对性战略强化市场地位，包括近期在美国推出新一代燃油车型，以及在中国推出专为本地设计生产的车型。 奥迪周二表示，2026 年将继续推进中国市场产品策略，重点车型包括 奥迪 A6L e-tron 和 AUDI E7X 。E7X 将成为其中国专属品牌 AUDI 在华推出的第二款量产车型。 不过，里特斯贝格在电话会议中提醒，今年前两个月中国市场表现远低于预期。 在美国市场，奥迪希望借助全新奥迪 Q7 以及专为美国消费者打...

Quaker Chemical Corporation KWR is heading into 2026 with muted end-market expectations, but management still sees a path to steady growth. The investment debate centers on whether the company can keep taking share even if demand stays soft early in the year. What stands out is the combination of durable regional momentum, incremental capacity coming online in China and a set of self-help programs that can support margins even when pricing and volumes are not doing much of the work. KWR’s Outgrowth Case in Flat End Markets The company expects 2-4% net share gains in 2026, and recent performance has skewed toward the high end of that range. That matters because the company’s base case assumes underlying markets are flat to slightly down in the first half of 2026, with only modest improvement in the second half. In that setup, outgrowing the market becomes the core 2026 question. If Quaker Chemical can keep capturing share across regions while end markets remain sluggish, it can still deliver steady top-line progress even without a broad macro lift. Quaker Houghton Price and Consensus Quaker Houghton price-consensus-chart | Quaker Houghton Quote Quaker Chemical’s APAC Momentum and EV Wins Asia/Pacific has been the organic growth leader through 2025, supported by continued wins in electric vehicle (EV) original equipment manufacturers and components. In the fourth quarter, APAC posted its 10th consecutive quarter of organic volume growth, underscoring that the region’s momentum has held up across a choppy demand environment. That consistency makes APAC an important proof point for the broader 2026 outgrowth narrative. EV-related wins represent a durable demand pocket within industrial production, and they help explain why management continues to position Asia/Pacific as the growth leader while other regions remain more mixed. KWR’s China Facility Adds Capacity and Simplifies Logistics A key operational milestone is the new China facility, which is scheduled to begin op...

March 17, 2026, 8:02 a.m. ET The project still requires final site plan and development agreement approvals from the township. The data center will be powered by new resources, including solar, under an agreement with DTE Energy. Tech giant Google would be the operator of a large data center slated for Wayne County's Van Buren Township that until now has only been known by the code name "Project Cannoli." Google announced on Tuesday, March 17, that it is the company behind the planned 1-gigawatt data center, ending months of secrecy and speculation as to which tech firm the project belongs to. The data center would be built on about 130 acres of a 282-acre site, situated south of I-275, north of I-94 and east of Haggerty Road. It would have five buildings and a total footprint of over 800,000 square feet, according to a township presentation earlier this year. The township's Planning Commission voted 5-2 on Feb. 11 to give a preliminary site plan approval for the project. However, the data center still needs a final site plan approval as well as an approval of its development agreement from the township's Board of Trustees. Google also announced Tuesday that the data center would be powered by what it calls 2.7 gigawatts of "new resources for the grid," including solar power and advanced power storage technologies, under an agreement with DTE Energy. The news release didn't offer specifics about the future solar arrays and other power sources, but said Google would fully cover the project's electrical costs and infrastructure needs, "to ensure that its growth protects local ratepayers and actively bolsters the long-term resilience of the state's electricity grid." As for water usage, the township has previously said the data center is expected to use between 2 million and 3.6 million gallons per day for cooling its equipment, and that it would buy this water from the township and not take any from the ground. Van Buren Township purchases its water from the Great Lak...

“角黄素风波” 进一步反映消费者对食品添加剂信息透明化的强烈诉求，商家须审视产品宣传的边界与底线 【财新网】 “315”期间，有关“鸡蛋中检出角黄素”的消息不断发酵，打假人提供检测报告称鸡蛋中检出角黄素，称这些鸡蛋是“人工色素的染色蛋”；超市和品牌商家则辩称鸡蛋中的角黄素来源于天然原料；后来，打假人还甩出一张检出角黄素含量更高的检测报告，反击品牌虚假宣传。 上述一波三折的“打假剧情”源自民间打假人王海团队，“网红”超市胖东来，鸡蛋品牌黄天鹅、正大等都被卷入舆情中。事件的讨论热度甚至超过央视“315晚会”曝光的“漂白鸡爪”。 3月17日，黄天鹅母公司凤集食品发布声明称，公司产品已由属地市场监管部门完成现场抽检，样品已送至检测机构，结果出具后将第一时间公布。
