Food is the most important thing for people. If there is a problem with the food, it is really a big problem.

In recent years, with the development of technology, there are more and more "fresh" foods. Chinese people are very concerned about the quality of food. In previous years, a large number of foods circulated on the market would be revealed. Many national brands that everyone trusts are actually on the list.

It is either that there is a problem with the production environment or that there are problems with the food additives. In order to reduce production costs, food producers have won greater benefits for themselves and have bad ideas about food. As a result, consumers have paid for money and health!

Pork with "borax" added - is a product that merchants can maximize their interests

Recently, a kind of pork is very popular in the market. Merchants selling pork will apply A white unknown object .

This unknown white object is the food additive in the "Food Hygiene Law" explicitly prohibited use of - sodium borate , that is, borax . Generally, this substance is mainly used in the production of ceramics, glass, cosmetics, soaps, disinfectants, insecticides, preservatives, etc. Medically, borax is also used to treat skin and mucous membrane disinfection and epilepsy.

Jiang Xia, chief pharmacist at the Department of Pharmacy of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, said that as a mineral Chinese medicine, borax will generally not harm the body as long as it is used in moderation, but if it is used in large quantities or has long-term contact, it is hard to say.

is generally not added to food anyway, because this substance enters the body and will be absorbed by the body quickly, but it will not be easily metabolized out of , thereby accumulate in the body and will cause damage to the body, such as causing indigestion, skin allergies, vomiting and diarrhea, poisoning, coma, shock , etc. If an adult takes 1-3 grams of borax at a time, it may be poisoned. If more than 15 grams, it will threaten life and cause death .

The reason why pork manufacturers and stall owners risk applying borax to the pork is because the moisture in the pork with borax added will be retained, the meat is very tough, and the color is also very bright. In this way, the stranded pork can be sold as fresh pork, reducing the losses of merchants.

Therefore, for the substance that is very harmful to the body, borax, you must be 120 minutes of care. It is usually nothing to do if pork sold in regular large shopping malls. The freshness, safety and health of the meat are guaranteed.

But if you are a pork dealer on the side of the road, and pork stalls in the vegetable market, you should be vigilant to prevent buying borax pork. Especially when the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, everyone is in a hurry to buy groceries, and sometimes they ignore the careful selection of pork.

found that pork has these characteristics, maybe it is borax pork

The meat of borax pork looks very fresh, and even the color of and the fresh meat you will see normally is a little darker. The flesh is very elastic when touching with your hands, and the touch is also very smooth. You can check whether there is white powder in the meat .

If the merchants apply a lot of borax on the pork, too much borax will also make it feel a little gravel , and you may even smell except pork other flavors . Even if wash several times, the taste will still be in , which may be because of borax. Because borax is alkaline, you can go to the pharmacy to buy a wide range of test papers and paste them on the meat to see if there is any blue color. It means that it may contain borax.

Of course, borax, a "magic" substance, will not only be discovered by pork producers, but other food producers will also have bad intentions, such as bean curd, dumpling skin, Cold peel noodles , noodles, pork and beef meatballs, etc., there may be traces of borax in it. But when we buy things, we can't bring an ingredient detection machine at any time.

So when we buy food, we can first look at it based on our experience of buying food frequently. We find that this food is different from what we often buy before, and the appearance is a bit strange and you will be suspicious. For example, there is abnormal luster, , and it has been more than the time to cook in , but the food is still not very bad, etc. But if you want to avoid such results, the same thing is that when buying food, you should still remember that is the first-class price of , and that is, you should still buy in a serious shopping mall to ensure .

What measures should be taken if borax is poisoned?

Emergency physician Li Fang, a Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, said that if you find that borax is poisoned by yourself or your relatives and friends around you, it is the kind of symptoms of nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, , which means that it is mild poisoning. You can drink more boiled water gastric lavage to encourage the body to send the body to the medical treatment for metabolic diseases of borax. If is shock, first convulsion, coma, unconscious , it means that it is severe poisoning, and is sent to the hospital for emergency room in time.

In summary, food issues have always been a hot topic that everyone is concerned about. Not only borax pork, but also "technology and life" technology are all challenges to physical health. When buying any food, you must pay attention to prevent a healthy body from being attacked.
