Meat is the "main force" in animal food on the table. Our car owners mainly want to obtain energy from protein . Protein is the material basis of life. Without protein, there is no life.
As the saying goes, people take food as the most, food is peace as the first, peace as the basis, and quality as the root. As living standards continue to improve, the food market is unprecedentedly prosperous, and food safety issues also follow.
gum meat I believe many people have heard of it, especially for young people, who don’t know how to choose fresh meat at all, and they will often be deceived.
gum-injected meat refers to adding edible glue such as carrageenan or xanthan gum to the water, mixing it into "glue", and injecting it into the animal's body, using the solidification and water retention of these glues to "lock" the moisture of the meat. After injecting this "glue" into pigs, cows and sheep, it can increase the amount of water absorption of meat by more than 20% to achieve the purpose of gaining weight and making profits. This kind of meat with "glue" is called "glue-infused meat".
In order to prevent the grease from deteriorating, some merchants will also add salt and preservatives to make the meat look very fresh and taste better. Xanthan gum and carrageenan are both legal additives, but excessive intake is not beneficial. How to distinguish between
injected meat?
Air-drying film is easily formed on the surface of normal meat, and it is slightly dry or slightly wet when touched by hand. Infused meat Infused meat surface does not easily form an air-drying film, and it feels obviously wet after touching with your hands, and it feels smoother when moving. Gum-injected meat is generally harder than normal meat.
mostly uses industrial carrageenan, which has a irritating odor. If you carefully distinguish it from the smell of normal meat, you will find that it is different. The glue-infused meat can smell a little irritating.
Normal meat is bright red or dark red, with a shiny surface, subcutaneous fat , plate oil is milky white or pink white, and intermuscular fat is obviously visible.
water-filled meat is pink and lighter and whiter than normal flesh. The subcutaneous fat and oil are slightly congested and pink. The muscles are generally watery, tender and swollen. The gum-injected meat is a light yellow powder.
When normal meat is pressed with your fingers to the muscle incision section, the dents recover quickly, and there is no water or very little water seepage after squeezing. The subcutaneous fat of the infused meat is significantly thickened, with a significant edema, and the muscles are loose. When pressed with your hands, the dents often recover slowly or cannot recover, losing the inherent elasticity of the fresh meat, and are often accompanied by watery liquid seeping out. The glue-injected meat feels sticky when pressed.
"Gum-injected meat" is flooded? The doctor said directly: These five types of meat should have been blacklisted long ago
Nowadays, people have learned to be smart and know how to choose fresh meat, but the glue-infused meat still exists, and many foods on our table may be affected. I hope you will avoid the following foods.
—Hotpot meatballs
Many people especially like to eat hot pot meatballs in their lives. They can not only rinse hot pot, but also make spicy hot pot. Even if you put hot pot meatballs when cooking instant noodles , it has a unique flavor.
When buying hot pot meatballs, many people are attracted by the price. Even shrimp balls or pee beef balls and fish balls are around 10 to 15 yuan.
We must understand that beef, fish or shrimp are not cheap, and even beef costs dozens of dollars per pound, but only a few dollars per pound after making meatballs. Are merchants all fools?
meatballs are likely to be made of gelatinized meat. It not only reduces the cost, but also makes the meatballs more elastic and tastes more chewy. However, foods with too high additives will increase the burden on the digestive system when entering the body and cause cancer.
- Cheap cooked beef
Friends with common sense know that the price of raw beef sold in supermarkets is generally between 45 and 50 yuan per catty, but the price of cooked beef sold in some physical stores is far lower than 45 yuan per catty, and some people feel that they have taken a big advantage.
Normally, one pound of raw beef is only about 0.6 pounds after being cooked. Even if the cooked one is not fully cooked, it can only reach 0.8 pounds. According to this calculation, the price of cooked beef should be more expensive.
If the cooked beef you buy is relatively low, then beware. This is definitely a glue-injected beef or inferior beef. There is no benefit in eating it in the body. It may also promote the development of the disease and affect health.
—Mutton rolls and beef rolls
Beef rolls or mutton rolls are foods that many people love very much. They taste better, but the price is very expensive. Some small vendors sell mutton rolls or beef rolls with relatively cheap prices. Most of the beef or mutton rolls sold by small vendors are over 30 yuan a large pack. This price is really attractive, but it has no benefits in the body so far, and it can even increase the risk of physical lesions.
Anything gets what you pay for. If the price of beef rolls or mutton rolls is very cheap, it is likely that there are problems with the original ingredients. It may be that the meat rolls are already injected with glue before they are made into meat rolls, which will inevitably have adverse effects.
-Grilled sausage
Grilled sausage is one of the popular ingredients, especially children love to eat grilled sausages very much, but the raw materials for grilled sausages are really unclear. Some of them are produced in small workshops, and the quality is unimaginable.
grilled sausage tastes delicious, but the price is not expensive, we can imagine that the meat in it is not real meat, it is probably pork feet, or it may be the scraps of chicken, duck and fish, mixed with carrageenan to make the exam room more tasteful. Eating too much grilled sausage will not be beneficial or increase the risk of disease. I hope you can control your mouth quickly, which may help strengthen your body. If you like grilled sausages in your daily life, you can learn to make it yourself, and it is not particularly complicated.
-Chicken Fillets, Chicken Steaks
knowlters or chicken chops are artificially synthesized chicken. Although the taste is very good and is very popular among minors and the elderly, most of the production process is edible "stomach".
chicken fillets or chicken chops are added to the preparation process. In order to extend the shelf life, a large amount of preservatives will be added, which will even increase the chance of digestive system lesions in the body.
Eating this kind of meat regularly will cause the body to have aggravate its metabolic burden and increase the chance of digestive tract tumors seriously damages health. I hope you can control your mouth and not make jokes about your health.
Whether it is injecting glue or water-filled meat, it is an illegal act in itself. If you buy such meat, don’t hesitate. You should use the law to protect your rights and interests and report to the relevant departments, so that more people can be harmed.
Of course, the most important thing is not to be greedy for small gains. After all, some people are always greedy for cheap things, thinking that they can buy good food with less money, but they don’t know that this may cause damage to your health. I hope you can believe that it is worth it.
