How to identify whether food is safe or not?

One: Looking for the "flaw" of fake goods

Many lawless elements make counterfeit products, and even wantonly use toxic substances to make food, pretending to be brand-name products and deceiving consumers. Therefore, when people buy food, they must look at the food carefully, and find out the flaws through the color, shape and hardness of the food. For example, Japanese beans, real fish-skin peanuts are made of glutinous rice, and the surface has fish scales (cracks); The fake one is made of starch, so its surface looks very bright. Fish skin peanuts made of glutinous rice are very loose. When you pinch them a little (hard), they crack. Fake fish skin peanuts are hard because they are made of flour, and they can't be broken by squeezing hard. The real fish skin peanut shell and peanut are completely separated, while the fake one is puffed by flour, so peanut and shell are inseparable. Really fish skin, peanut beans and peanuts are very full and very big; The peanuts in the fake fish skin peanuts are very thin.

Two: Don't be greedy and cheap.

Generally speaking, the cost of goods with certain quality assurance is relatively fixed, and things that are too cheap are likely to be "fakes". For example, a bottle of wine with a grape juice content of more than 50% should be priced at around 15 yuan /750ml, otherwise it is likely to be a fake.

Many inferior wines don't contain grape juice at all. The production method is mainly water and alcohol, plus other spices, sweeteners and thickeners. The content of grape juice is relatively low or doesn't contain grape juice at all.

Three: read all the contents of the label clearly

The labels on the packaging of many foods are very irregular, the marks are unclear, and some of them are not even available. Products with incomplete labels may be inferior products.

The label mainly includes the product name, production date, shelf life, main raw materials and accessories, the name and address of the manufacturer, etc. At the same time, consumers can ask promoters about these issues. Consumers also need to see if there is an anti-counterfeiting mark on the package.

Four: Pay attention to food safety information

Consumers should pay more attention to food safety information at ordinary times. Many food problems will be announced as soon as they are discovered. For example, foods containing "Sudan Red" were discovered by British scientists to be carcinogenic after a long period of research.

Five: "look" and "smell" before eating

Consumers should look at the color and smell the food before eating it. For example, when drinking drinks, it is necessary to see clearly that fruit-flavored soda should not have flocs, and plastic bottles and cans should not be soft and deformed by hand. If the lid of the canned beverage is found to be convex, it means that its quality is problematic. When all kinds of packaged drinks are inverted, there should be no leakage (but slight stratification of juice drinks is normal). Drinks such as fruit tea and other drinks are of poor quality if they are too thick, too bright red or have abnormal colors. And all kinds of drinks have their own corresponding smells. Normal drinks should be fragrant, odorless and pungent, otherwise, the quality will be poor.
