Hangzhou sampling 8 beef products 5 leave

In recent years, with the rise in prices, the increase in the price of beef and mutton is also astounding, and the issue of whether it is genuine or not is also a matter of general concern. In recent days, beef has become the focus of the world. In Europe, a "horrific scandal" broke out, fake beef was sold in 16 countries, and "hanging cow heads to sell horse meat" temporarily gave Europeans a hard time.

However, the quality of cheap beef products sold on the market in Hangzhou is not optimistic. Hangzhou media has taken 8 samples and sent it to an authoritative laboratory for testing. There are 5 beef ingredients that are not detected, and all contain pork.

Where did these "pseudo-fed beef" come from? The entire survey process was a laborious one. In two weeks, the reporters circulated among hawkers, wholesalers, and wholesalers, and finally came up with a clue.

In the process of searching for the truth, the reporters have gradually emerged from three forms of counterfeiting: First, the so-called "spice." Take the pork with a big machine and roll it. After the meat is broken up, add starch and additives to make a “spice”, which is slightly different from real beef. Second, the cheap "cow meat". In fact, pigskin meat with a similar appearance was used. Vendors also said that adding seasonings should pay attention to the taste and the color is a little darker. Third, pink semi-cooked beef. The old mother pork is supplemented with sodium nitrite and pigment, because the old mother pork is thick and miso, and it tastes like a stock. It needs to add “material” to remove the smell.
