Is there still gutter oil in most restaurants these days?

By the professional restaurant cooking, professional people do professional things, faster, better taste, more nutritious, which is originally a kind of social progress. However, such a good phenomenon with many advantages, but has not been able to ensure food hygiene problems, especially we all understand the "gutter oil" problem, has been difficult to eradicate.

Because Chinese food requires a lot of fat to cook, cooking oil has become one of the main costs for restaurant operators. Gradually, many unscrupulous businesses have started using recycled cooking oil, or "gutter oil", to reduce the cost of ingredients.

The term "gutter oil" is so graphic that it makes people feel sick to their stomachs. But we can't tell which restaurants use gutter oil, we can only console ourselves with the thought that "it's not clean, it's okay to eat it!"

Gutter oil is still found in many businesses, so how do we stop it from getting into our food?

Relying on the conscience of merchants? It's obviously not realistic. The government's strongest regulation? This is also difficult to realize, after all, the government can not dedicate so many manpower and resources to do this thing. Relying on us to identify, I'm afraid this is even more difficult to operate: we can not always carry test strips and equipment, and can not always choose to go to the big brand dining, and the big brands can not guarantee that it is safe.

Because it's hard to identify, the use of "gutter oil" is unfair to restaurants that use normal cooking oil. The cost of their ingredients is relatively higher, but the difference in the surface of the meals they make cannot be seen, and their profits will naturally be affected. As a result, the business of good restaurants has become increasingly difficult under the competition from "gutter oil" restaurants, and they have to choose to use gutter oil or simply close down. Eventually, some areas with a concentration of low-grade restaurants have become "gutter oil streets"! This is a typical bad money for good effect.

So the most fundamental solution to the problem of "gutter oil", or let the use of gutter oil catering business, and not use gutter oil business, not in the same platform competition.

Of course, you can allow the store to change a little better words, such as "recycled oil" instead of gutter oil, after all, the word gutter oil sounds too much appetite. At the same time there is still a need for the government to enact legislation, severely punish dishonest enterprises, and regulate the channels for recycling cooking oil. At the same time, the media and individuals should be fully mobilized to monitor and expose dishonest businesses.

On the other hand, such measures will also encourage cooking oil recycling companies to improve their technology, enhance the hygiene of the recycled oil or find other outlets.
