The animal quarantine department will affix a blue quarantine seal on the surface of qualified pork and issue a written quarantine certificate to the sales owner. Then, such pork can be safely eaten.
1, the "X" seal is a destruction seal, and the meat covered with this seal is prohibited from being sold and eaten.
Triangle seal is a "high temperature seal", and this kind of meat can only be sold after high temperature treatment within a specified time.
The rectangular chapter is "edible oil chapter", which means that this kind of meat can't be sold, can't be eaten directly, and must be refined into oil to sell.
4. The oval seal is the seal of "process oil". This kind of meat can't be sold or eaten, but can only be refined into industrial oil.
5. Round seal, the meat covered with round seal is "reassuring meat". From the appearance, the "assured meat" is white in fat, shiny in meat, reddish in skin and good in elasticity, and the depression caused by finger pressing can be recovered immediately. When buying pork in the market or supermarket, we often see stamps of different colors on the surface of the skin, mostly blue and red. What do these chapters mean?
According to industry insiders, the pork leaving the factory must be "qualified in quarantine" and "qualified in quality inspection". If one of them is unqualified, it is not allowed to leave the factory for sale. If unqualified pork leaves the factory, not only the slaughterhouse will be punished, but also the catering service operators who sell or use these unqualified pork will be punished.
The two indicators of "passing quarantine inspection" and "passing quality inspection" mentioned here are judged by the seal on pork. Zhang Ziping, chief expert of China Meat Association, said that different colors, shapes and fonts have different meanings.
Blue-purple seal
Zhang Ziping said that "representative" means pork that has passed quarantine inspection. Pigs that have passed the quarantine inspection shall have a blue-purple seal, with information such as animal quarantine inspection, production date, number of slaughterhouse quarantine institution, etc.
Besides the blue seal, there is also a red seal. It represents the quality inspection of pork. There are five kinds of seals, namely X-shaped seal, triangular seal, oval seal, rectangular seal and circular seal.
Red x-shaped seal
Pork with a red X-shaped seal, consumers should pay attention! This shows that the pork in question will be destroyed and cannot be sold for food. Zhang Ziping said that once you see this kind of pork on sale, you can call the police directly, or report to the relevant departments the businesses and individuals who sell and circulate this kind of pork.
Triangular seal
Pork with this seal can only be sold and eaten after high temperature treatment for a specified time, otherwise it cannot be sold and eaten. Be sure to buy carefully.
Elliptical seal
The lid of the pork is oval and marked with industrial oil seal, indicating that it is the raw material for refining industrial meat and cannot be sold for food.
Rectangular seal
The rectangular seal is edible oil seal, which means that this kind of meat can't be sold, can't be eaten directly, and can only be sold after being refined into oil.
Circular seal
Round stamp, the meat with round stamp is "centering meat". From the appearance, the fat is white, the meat is shiny, the skin color is reddish and uniform, and the elasticity is good. The depression caused by finger pressing can be recovered immediately.
Zhang Ziping said that the first four shapes of the red seal are generally invisible in shopping malls and markets, and only round seals can be seen.
