Ye Zhenzhen continued: "Now the food safety in the market is supervised by the relevant departments of the state, and there are very few counterfeit and shoddy products like this, but in case we encounter it, we know how to distinguish it, and we will not be deceived, and when we find those problem foods, we can also report to the relevant departments in time to avoid more victims."

Zhen Zhen's preaching was convincing, and the three of them returned to the dinner table, and Kexin asked again: "Except for rice and millet, can you see any problems with other meals?"

Zhen Zhen's eyes circled around the dining table, and finally, she pointed to a plate of yellow croaker and said, "Yellow croaker may also be fake." ”

This time, it was Kexin's mother who asked, "The big yellow croaker I bought at the vegetable market this morning is quite fresh." ”

"Auntie, I didn't say that there was a problem with the yellow croaker on the table, what I meant was that some unscrupulous traders would dye the stale yellow croaker to make it look fresh and shoddy. ”

Mother Kexin: "And there are ways to make the yellow croaker look fresh, and how do they do it?"

"There is a dye commonly known as gold powder, the main component is acid orange II., which is mainly used in the dyeing of wool, leather, silk, nylon, and paper in industry. Some unscrupulous traders take advantage of its bright color, strong coloring strength and low price to incorporate it as a pigment in food, such as yellow croaker, marinated meat products, cooked meat products, red shell melon seeds, chili noodles and bean paste. ”

Kexin's mother: "That gold powder, which is also acid orange II., is it harmful to people?"

"Acid orange II is a group of three carcinogens, that is, animal carcinogenic, mainly based on the results of in vitro and animal experiments, and it is not yet certain that it has a carcinogenic effect on humans. ”

Kexin then said: "Human beings are also animals by nature, and since acid orange II can cause cancer to animals, it must not be good for people." ”

Kexin's mother asked: "Is there any way to tell if these foods have gold powder added to them, that is, acid orange II."

"For marinated products, if it looks very bright, it may be the addition of acid orange, so use it with caution. For yellow croaker, the fins of normal yellow croaker are cyan, and the fins of dyed yellow croaker are yellow. It's not easy to distinguish between chili noodles and bean paste, so it's better to buy them from a brand supermarket. ”

Kexin's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, today's big yellow croaker, the fins are cyan, not poisonous, you can eat it with confidence." ”

After speaking, Kexin's mother sandwiched a piece of yellow croaker meat for each person and put it in a bowl.

Kexin finished eating it in one bite, and asked again: "Zhenzhen, what else?"

Zhen Zhen still stared at the plate of yellow croaker, this time pointing to the chili pepper and ginger slices on the plate, and said, "Dried chili peppers and ginger may also be maliciously processed by unscrupulous traders and filled in turn." ”

"Can dried chili peppers and ginger be faked?" You Kexin was a little unconvinced, and asked: "How to fake the law?"

"In the past, there have been TV reports of 'sulphur chili peppers' and 'sulphur ginger', where unscrupulous traders smoke and evaporate moldy dried chili peppers with industrial sulphur to make them bright in color. Similarly, fumigating ginger with sulfur can make ginger, which is not visually aesthetically pleasing under normal circumstances, delicate and crispy. ”

Kexin's mother: "I have heard about this 'sulfur pepper' and 'sulfur ginger' incidents, but what harm does sulfur do to people?"

"Eating food that has been fumigated with industrial sulfur, the residual sulfur dioxide can cause damage to the human nervous system, causing symptoms such as dizziness, dizziness, and general fatigue. In addition, industrial sulfur contains heavy metals, which can affect human liver and kidney function. In addition to chili peppers and ginger, some unscrupulous traders also use industrial sulfur to fumigate sugar, candied fruit, white fungus, longan, carrots, steamed buns, etc. ”

Kexin's mother: "It sounds very serious, can I tell whether the raw ginger has been fumigated with sulfur, and what about other foods?"

"This is simple, when shopping for food, if you find that the food has a distinct sulfur smell or pungent smell, you should avoid buying. ”

Kexin picked up the steamed buns on the table, sniffed them with his nose, and said, "There is only the fragrance of steamed buns, there is no smell of sulfur, and it is safe." ”

From the yellow croaker plate, he took out a piece of ginger and looked at it carefully, "The ginger skin is rough, it has not been fumigated, and it is safe." ”

Seeing Kexin's series of actions, Zhen Zhen smiled, "Kexin, Auntie is very experienced in buying vegetables and cooking, so you don't have to worry." ”

Kexin's mother: "Live to learn all the time, besides, those unscrupulous traders dare to do anything in order to make money, cheat, and shoddy tricks are endless, Zhenzhen, you can tell Auntie again, Auntie can also grow some knowledge when she buys things in the future, so as not to be deceived." ”

Kexin also echoed and said, "Yes, Zhenzhen, you can talk about it again." ”

Zhenzhen: "Again, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat. ”

Ke Xin put another piece of fish meat in his mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and said, "It's okay, no matter how terrifying you say, I can still eat." ”

"Well, in that case, I'll say a few more relevant ones. ”

Ye Zhenzhen's eyes fell on the dish of stir-fried vegetables, "Auntie, there is soy sauce in this green vegetables." ”

Kexin's mother: "Yes, I added some soy sauce to it to taste. ”

"There are also fakes in soy sauce. ”

"Soy sauce fake?"

"Well, soy sauce was originally produced by grain fermentation, and China has strict regulations on the content of amino acids in soy sauce, and the amino acids in the soy sauce production process come from the fermentation of soy products and grain crops. Some unscrupulous traders use hair water instead of grain to produce soy sauce and reduce production costs. ”

"What is it??, is it harmful after we eat it?" asked Kexin's mother.

"Hair water is a substance that is hydrolyzed from human hair, and since the main component of hair is protein, the use of hair water can increase the content of amino acids in food. However, hair contains arsenic, lead and other harmful substances, which have toxic side effects on the liver, kidney, blood system, and reproductive system of the human body, and can cause cancer. In addition, industrial hydrochloric acid may be used in the hydrolysis of hair, which is also very harmful to the human body. ”

Kexin's mother looked a little panicked, thinking that she had never heard of making soy sauce from hair, since there were so many harms, then she must learn to distinguish it, so she asked: "This soy sauce is almost the same color, how to tell if it is soy sauce produced by hair water?"

Zhen Zhen: "Actually, there is a simple way, that is, by looking at the color, normal soy sauce, the color is relatively red, shiny, and transparent, while the soy sauce made of hair water is black and dark, and opaque. If you want to be further determined, the content of the heavy metal arsenic and lead in soy sauce should be tested by the laboratory. ”

Kexin's mother: "It's easy to remember the method of looking at the color." ”

Ke Xin pointed to the food on the table, and wanted to ask, Ye Zhenzhen suddenly made a pause gesture and said: "Okay, I'll introduce it here today, if there is anything else you want to know, I have a food safety reference book here, I can borrow it from you to take a look, but it is all information from the Nutrition and Food Safety Institute, and I have to return it after reading it." ”

Kexin was very happy, "Why don't you say it earlier if you have any information, borrow it from me." ”

"Okay, I'll bring it to you after eating, the food is almost cold. ”
