Tips for purchasing moon cakes:
1, depending on the brand, try to choose those products with famous brands and time-honored brands.
2. Look at the trademark and buy moon cakes with complete logo specifications. Pay special attention to check whether there is the word "moon cake" in the eye-catching position of the box.
3, look at the production date and shelf life, check whether the packaging is complete. The production date and shelf life of moon cake stuffing are marked on the front of the package, and the production license number is on the back.
4. See if there is obvious greasy feeling on the surface of the moon cake, whether the shape of the moon cake is standardized, whether the color is uniform, whether the pattern is clear, whether it is burnt or moldy. The newly-made moon cakes are bright in color, shiny in appearance and soft in taste. Inferior moon cakes are not straight, dull, dirty and dry.
