Mr. Liu, who lives on Xihua Avenue, is in his 40s. Because he has many friends, he gave a lot of mooncakes to others before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they also gave him more after the festival. Counting, there are still 9 boxes of mooncakes at home that have not been opened. When I let my family eat it, they all shook their heads and said they were tired of it. Mr. Liu thought about it and mixed mooncakes and vegetables together to make a mooncake vegetable salad, and found that the taste was okay. But Mr. Liu is still worried.

Mr. Zhang’s family in Jianhong Community loves to eat mooncakes.

■ Do not eat mooncakes that have expired.

Dr. Guo from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College reminds you to eat as little mooncakes as possible. Since mooncakes contain spices, they can easily cause internal heat. After eating mooncakes, it is best to drink a cup of herbal tea. Patients with diabetes, cholecystitis , gallstones, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, duodenitis or gastritis are not suitable to eat more moon cakes, and try not to eat them if possible. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, citizens are advised not to eat mooncakes that are about to expire or have passed their shelf life.

"As the country strictly limits the content of preservatives and food additives in mooncakes, the shelf life of mooncakes has also been shortened. In addition, the shelf life is not the only criterion for identifying whether mooncakes have deteriorated. Mooncakes may also deteriorate prematurely due to changes in storage methods, environment, etc. , so try to eat mooncakes before their shelf life expires. The shelf life of mooncakes that have been opened will be shortened, so they should be consumed as soon as possible."
