After watching the 315 Gala’s talk about “Tukeng Pickled Cabbage”, do you still want to eat Laotan Pickled Cabbage Instant Noodles?

This year's 315 Gala arrived as scheduled, and the truths that were exposed made people laugh out loud, some made people shudder, and some made people feel sick.

Don’t believe it? Check out the summary↓

1. On WeChat, she has a beautiful girl avatar and sweetly calls him "good brother", but behind her is actually a big man who picks his nose.

The reporter's investigation found that many top anchor brokerage companies assigned multiple "operators" to beautiful anchors, and most of the operators were men, because "men understand men best." They often used the female anchors' avatars and said sweet words to deceive fans into giving them money. Some fans' tuition fees were even defrauded.

2. There is a lot of water in the live broadcast of jadeite, and the cyber market is like a play.

In order to increase profit margins, the anchors would pass off inferior Guatemalan jade as high-quality jade, pretend to be in Myanmar in the live broadcast room in Yunnan, bargain with one person playing the role of the seller and the other the buyer, and even pretend to be smuggling jade across the border.

3. Internet review companies charge for posting reviews, and the first few pages found on search engines are basically manually posted.

They ask and answer their own questions, hire internet trolls to give likes, or even directly delete web pages with negative reviews. They charge fees ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and post all kinds of fake positive reviews.

4. The gambling scams set up at the stalls outside the school gate made the primary school students unable to control themselves.

These "lotteries" use cash or popular toys as bait to attract primary school students to participate again and again. In fact, the winning rate is extremely low. Some games that require collecting cards to redeem prizes are simply impossible to collect.

5. The most popular traditional pickled cabbage is actually the earth pit pickled cabbage.

The leaves of these pickled cabbages were yellow and not washed. They were directly piled in the dug pits. There were branches, snails, feathers, and even cigarette butts thrown in by workers in the pits, but these impurities could not be seen after the pickled cabbages were broken. Master Kong and Uni-President instant noodles were also affected.

6. Most of the sweet potato vermicelli on the market are inferior composite flours.

The main ingredient of these fake flours is cassava flour, which is also mixed with corn starch. Moreover, the production environment is poor and hygiene is not guaranteed.

7. Wire and cable manufacturing companies cut corners, reduce the number of copper wires, and lower the heat resistance standards of the wire and cable insulation sheaths, causing the wires to easily melt and burn, posing a danger to our daily lives.

8. Unqualified medical beauty training classes lead to tragedy.

Hyaluronic acid injected into blood vessels caused large-scale cerebral infarction and blindness of the left eye in patients, and nose surgery caused facial disfigurement. The so-called plastic surgeons only received brief and informal training in apartment buildings and then took up their posts in large numbers, claiming to be professionals.

The most impressive case in this evening party should be the collapse of Laotan Pickled Cabbage: the so-called "Laotan Pickled Cabbage" is actually "Laokeng Pickled Cabbage" and "Poisonous Pickled Cabbage"!

Dig a big hole in the ground, pour the dirty and stale vegetables into it, then pour in water and salt, cover it with soil, and it will be done in three months.

When people fished the pickled cabbage out of the pit, they stepped on it with shoes or bare feet, and threw cigarette butts into the pickled cabbage.

Even at the factory, they are still worried. They just rinse it with water, add unknown liquids to the small packages, and add a lot of preservatives...

This old-style pickled cabbage, no, “poisonous pickled cabbage”, can we still eat it?

Avoid production regulations throughout the process

The biggest problem with the "earth pit sauerkraut" exposed by the 315 Gala is that the entire production process of the sauerkraut does not meet the standards.

In order to ensure that everyone can eat safe food, the production of any kind of food has corresponding specifications and must be operated according to the specifications. For example, in the step of collecting raw materials, what safety standards do the raw materials need to meet and whether the number of colonies is in compliance with the regulations are the most basic requirements. They obviously did not meet them.

When it comes to the food production workshop, there are also requirements for the sanitation conditions of the workshop. Putting aside the rational testing, judging from everyone's nausea and vomiting reactions, the birth process of "Tukeng Pickled Cabbage" is probably not up to standard at all.

When the "poisonous pickled cabbage" is eaten

Let’s talk about the issue that everyone is most concerned about: What kind of harm will eating such “earth pit sauerkraut” cause to your health?

First, there is the contamination of impurities in the pickled cabbage. At the party, it was mentioned that the "earth pit pickled cabbage" may be mixed with leaves, snails, and even cigarette butts, which are garbage in daily life. Needless to say, leaves and cigarette butts are not food at all, and no one will eat them. They may also contain bacteria, heavy metals and other toxic and harmful substances.

Secondly, the pit where the "old-style pickled cabbage" is fermented may itself be a "poison pit". Soil pollution is not uncommon in my country. The discharge of sewage, the burning of garbage, the non-compliant use of pesticides and fertilizers, and pollutants that settle in the air can all become sources of soil pollution. We have seen some news saying that crops that are not good for health are grown in polluted land, which is a manifestation of soil pollution. If pickled cabbage is fermented in such a pit and buried for three months, pollutants such as heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the soil may take advantage of the opportunity to enter and be eaten by consumers.

I want safe and delicious sauerkraut!

We can’t live without fresh and delicious sauerkraut, but how can we satisfy our appetite without harming our body?

First, just like buying other foods, if you want to buy safe and qualified pickled cabbage, you should try to go to regular platforms, such as large supermarkets and regular farmers' markets. The control of food safety in these places is much stricter than that of street vendors who weigh and sell it.

Second, when you get to these shopping places, remember to choose pickled cabbage from big brands - big brands will still make better products for their reputation and to avoid economic risks. Of course, there were also big brands that failed this time, so brands must exercise self-discipline!

Third, when buying sauerkraut, be sure to pay attention to the packaging of the sauerkraut - at least it should be intact! If the sauerkraut is packed in a plastic bag and the packaging is bloated, don't buy it. If you smell something that doesn't belong to sauerkraut after you open it at home, I also advise you not to eat it. Unpleasant smells are often a sign of bacterial contamination.

Don’t be superstitious about “local food”

Let's talk about it in detail. "Tukeng Pickled Cabbage" is actually a kind of "traditional pickled cabbage". When there were no modern equipment and no common sense of hygiene, people often ate "Tukeng Pickled Cabbage" and would step on the green vegetables barefoot so that the lactic acid bacteria on their feet could do the fermentation work. These were routine operations in the past and there was nothing disgusting about them. It's just that now that we have the conditions to eat healthier pickled cabbage, there is really no need to be obsessed with "traditional pickled cabbage".

There are many similar "traditional foods".

The "traditional oil" produced by small workshops sounds very mellow, but in fact, oil crops (especially peanuts and corn) are easily contaminated by aflatoxin. This mold contamination is not easy to be identified by the naked eye, but it is very harmful: it is a first-class carcinogen, especially prone to liver cancer; short-term large-scale intake may also cause acute liver damage.

Homemade "traditional stinky tofu" carries the risk of botulism toxin, a highly toxic substance with a mortality rate of 20% to 40%! In addition, the source of botulism toxin poisoning is often homemade bean paste, sweet noodle sauce, pickled fish, sausage, ham, etc.

The sensational "sour soup incident" two years ago was also a tragedy caused by "traditional food". A family in Heilongjiang ate traditional fermented food, sour soup, which led to mycophenolic acid poisoning, and eventually 9 people died.

In a word, although "traditional food" sounds simple and poetic, since we all live in the 21st century, we should enjoy the health brought by modern technology.
