As a foodie, I love potato chips, spicy strips, dried fruits, etc., but in fact, the processing of some foods is not clean, whether it is machine processing or manual production. There are food hygiene and safety issues.

For example, spicy strips. Spicy tiao is a kind of magical snack. Except for Weilong, the big brother in the industry, there are few other brands of spicy tiao that can be named. Because there is no brand effect, the sanitation management of the spicy tiao factory is even more lax. . I once heard someone chatting with an aunt who worked in a spicy strip factory. She said: "The spicy strips you children eat can expire when I want them to." This sentence actually It’s scary, you can see how many food additives are added to the spicy strips.

My hometown is in a place famous for the production of spicy strips. When I was a child, I went to the spicy strip factory out of curiosity. Piles of pasta are placed in the basin. Because it is summer, there are many insects flying around. In order to save effort, the female workers will even wear rain boots to step on the food. After the spicy strips are made, when they come out of the machine, whether they are spilled on the ground or leaked elsewhere, they must be picked up and packaged. Think about what we usually eat. If it falls on the ground, we will definitely not eat it again. But those foods that have been processed in layers, no matter how unclean they are, because we can’t see the process of making them, we will eat them again. I ate it with peace of mind.

For example, dried fruit. Dried fruits are considered a relatively healthy snack, but they still have potential food hygiene and safety hazards. I once had a friend who was deceived into a certain brand of dried fruit processing factory by an agency during her summer vacation. According to her description, the factory hired a bunch of female workers to peel the fruit, and the quality of the fruit was maintained at the level of not rotten. After my friend worked in a dried fruit factory, she never bought any processed dried fruits again. Maybe that work experience left a shadow on her. That factory may be just an example, and we can't kill everyone with one stroke, but food safety issues really need to be paid enough attention to.
