Synthetic steaks are pre-cured, or are recombined from minced meat and small pieces of meat, which is easy to breed bacteria inside, which may lead to a high total number of bacteria in the product. They should be cooked until they are completely cooked.
In addition, carrageenan in synthetic steak is very common as a food additive, but it is actually a dietary fiber, which is beneficial to human intestinal function when eaten in moderation.
Carrageenan is extracted from plants, and there is no problem in itself. It is allowed to be used in domestic food processing industry, but its main function is solidification and thickening, and there is an allowable dosage. General enema products are allowed to be added.
Method of distinguishing true steak from false steak
To distinguish whether it is a spliced steak, the first thing to look at is the color of beef. Normal beef is bright red and shiny, and spliced beef is dark and dull.
The second is to see if the texture of beef fiber is elastic. Good beef fiber texture is elastic and closely connected, but spliced beef does not have this elastic texture.
Then there is the smell of beef for comparison. First-class beef has no smell, and other smells are more obvious.
