The grilled balut is as safe to consume as regular balut," Peralta told AFP on March 30. Peralta, however, warned against"excessive consumption of balut" because it was"likely to be associated with other ailments associated with cardiovascular illnesses"., associate professor at the University of the Philippines Los Baños' Institute of Food Science and Technology, said there was"no cause for alarm" when consuming grilled balut, but cautioned against possible sanitary risks if a vendor mishandles the eggs.
