Previously, there was an article "WHO exposure: four kinds of vegetables have been pulled into the list of carcinogens, remember to advise family members to touch less" which was circulated in the circle of friends. According to the article, four kinds of vegetables, baby cabbage, bracken, zucchini and red cabbage, have been listed as carcinogenic by the "WHO" and cannot be eaten in the future. So is it true that doll dish is carcinogenic? Why is it said that doll dish is carcinogenic?

Because fresh baby cabbage not only does not cause cancer, but also is very healthy and has very rich nutritional value, the reason for this rumor is mainly that some unscrupulous vendors, in order to make vegetables look fresh, touch their roots with formaldehyde to make vegetables look fresher and not wither, using the antiseptic effect of formaldehyde, which is very bad for their health.

Formaldehyde is included in the list of non-edible substances and food additives that may be illegally added in food published by China, and the state explicitly prohibits the use of industrial formaldehyde in food processing. Formaldehyde in baby vegetables is an illegal additive, and it is illegal to soak vegetables with formaldehyde.

How to buy a safe doll dish

For consumers, we only need to pay attention to two points: First, vegetables purchased from regular supermarkets are safe to eat; Second, if you can't smell the pungent smell on vegetables, even if the doll dish is soaked in formaldehyde, its concentration and residue will be very low. Because formaldehyde is easily soluble in water, you don't have to worry too much after washing the doll dish fully.
