Whether the pickled pepper chicken feet are soaked in formalin, many people cannot give an accurate answer, because this is impossible to say. We can only say that it is best to eliminate it from the source. Buy pickled pepper chicken feet from big manufacturers and brands.

Are pickled pepper chicken feet soaked in formalin?

Regular manufacturers probably don’t, but judging from the current food hygiene, no one dares to say whether it is useful or not. It has been soaked because formalin can effectively kill bacterial propagules and spores (such as anthrax spores). Its main advantages are that it is cheap and can quickly and effectively treat pathogens. Although the country Since January 1, 2003, it has been stipulated that formalin is not allowed to be used to preserve food. However, because of the above-mentioned advantages of formalin, there are some unscrupulous people who will still take risks. It is recommended that you do not buy anything from street vendors or without complete documents.

Hazards of formalin-pickled pepper chicken feet

Formaldehyde has a preservative effect, but the state stipulates that formaldehyde cannot be added to food as a food additive. If you accidentally eat food containing formaldehyde, it can cause allergies, diarrhea, and in severe cases, poisoning. Large amounts can be fatal. Foods that have not passed national food safety certification may use hydrogen peroxide as a preservative, and hydrogen peroxide has a corrosive effect on the digestive tract. Therefore, I would like to suggest that consumers try to choose pickled pepper chicken feet produced by regular manufacturers.
