A few days ago, the city's Ox Street Market Supervision Office received a report that a nearby resident, while shopping at the bun window of the Jie Restaurant, found that an employee poured condensate from the air-conditioning ducts into the flour and used the noodles to make buns. Afterward, food and drug supervisors went to the scene to investigate and deal with the incident, taking away the employee in question for investigation and closing the restaurant.

Today (July 3), the official blog of Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce released an investigation report on the use of air-conditioning condensate and noodles by employees of Ox Street Bao restaurant. According to the notice, it was verified that Ox Street Bao Keidu Juice Shop holds a business license and a food business license. Enforcement officers did not find any kneading or making of steamed buns at the site. The steamed buns sold at the scene were outsourced finished products and the supplier was fully qualified. After investigation, it was confirmed that the employee had poured air-conditioning condensate into the insulation equipment under the vessel. Law enforcement officials sealed the remaining buns and drawers on the spot and opened a case for investigation.

According to the findings, ? Mixing pasta with air conditioning condensate? was a false alarm. However, many people don't know what is in air conditioning condensate or what they can do with it. Today, I will explain it to you. Initially, the condensate discharged from an air conditioner is mainly from the water catchment tray under the evaporator of the indoor unit, as well as the liquid water formed by the condensation process of water vapor.

Because of the humidity inside the air conditioner, the average user will not be able to draw on the evaporator at a professional level, so it is easy to accumulate dust and bacteria on the evaporator, and the purity of the condensate produced by this environment cannot be guaranteed. Although some users want to use this condensate as waste in order to save money, they should also pay attention to its use. First of all, it is absolutely unacceptable to make noodles with it. The hygiene of food prepared in this way cannot be guaranteed. It is absolutely unacceptable for some netizens to ask if they can wash their vegetables. Condensate may contain dust and bacteria, which will contaminate the vegetables in the process of washing them, which is also very unhygienic.

So are there other uses? Some people say it's used for mopping floors, but I wouldn't recommend it. After all, tap water is better. To be clear, there's probably only one use for flushing the toilet, and it's hardly ever wrong.
