the domestic sea cucumber market disorder investigation eating "feed" sea cucumber is better than eat an egg
mid autumn Festival sea cucumber market also ushered in the peak period of sales. However, reporters recently found in many sea cucumber markets, such as Ji'nan, there are still many businessmen in the sales of "sugar dried" sea cucumbers, which have been explicitly prohibited by the Ministry of health. Some inferior seas have participated in salt, sugar and gluing, which have resulted in more than four or five times the weight of the additives. Use toxic alkali to keep sea cucumber fresh. Experts suggest that the relevant departments should strictly monitor the production, circulation, sales and other aspects, and rectify the chaos in the market as soon as possible.
the sale of "sugar dried" sea cucumbers can still easily buy
with the increasingly fierce competition of the merchants, the "chaos" in the sea cucumber market is becoming more and more serious. Some unscrupulous merchants, in order to increase the height and weight of sea cucumbers, participate in salt, sugar and gelatin by various means. In order to keep fresh, they use chemical agents such as caustic soda and Faure Marin to keep water and fresh-keeping, which not only greatly destroy the nutritional components of sea cucumbers, but also harm the health of the human body.
the abnormal operation of the sea cucumber Market by the Ministry of health has made it clear that the production and operation of dried sea cucumbers should be carried out in our country on the standard of "dry sea cucumber", and other food additives other than the salt should be allowed. But recently, reporters in Ji'nan, a number of sea cucumber sales outlets and seafood market learned that "sugar dried sea cucumber" is still selling. "3200 yuan a kilogram, can also be cheap." A Ji'nan sea seafood market near a sea cucumber sales shop staff told reporters.
Li Zhaobo, the manager of the marine food straight shop in Ji'nan, said, "sugar dried sea cucumbers" are big, cheap, and uninformed consumers are easy to take. If the sea cucumber with sugar is accidentally given to the elderly with diabetes, the problem is big.
a pound of sea cucumber, half a kilogram of salt, has become a recognized norm in the market.
to eat "transform sea cucumber" is better to eat eggs
to solve the truth of the sea to join the sugar, salt, the truth, the reporter found an informed person, Mr. Zhang. He told reporters that in order to increase and increase the weight of sea cucumbers, some people use the "bump cylinder" way, the sea cucumber will be boiled in saturated salt water, soak 3 days to 4 days after drying, which can increase the weight of 20%. After processing four or five times in a row, 1 kg of sea cucumber can add 1 kilograms of salt, so that 1 kg of sea cucumber can be 2 kilograms.
some will also take the way to add sugar in the salt sea cucumber, and to prevent the surface of the sea cucumber after sugar to stick to the phenomenon, and then add glue to maintain the feeling. Although such sea cucumber thorns are sturdy, big and full, there are less than 20% ingredients in the real sea cucumber, and four or five times more than the self weight. "Like this sea cucumber, nutrition has been destroyed, in some of our Yantai sea cucumber processing village people are absolutely not eating this thing, it is better to eat it than eat an egg." Mr. Zhang said. The statement made the reporter feel a bit of a panic.
reporters bought several dry sea cucumbers in the market, with a weight of 5 grams, 9 grams and 14 grams respectively, with a price of 6400 yuan, 3800 yuan and 3400 yuan per kilogram, respectively. Long term engaged in the processing and sales of sea cucumbers, the sales director of the Oriental Ocean Sales Co., Ltd., sales director Lu Jiang Wei Jing, said, do not look, only listen to the price of salt, sugar and serious.
he said that the current price of fresh sea cucumber is about 200 yuan per kilogram, about 36 kilograms of "dry" sea cucumbers of one kilogram, plus the cost and profit of more than 30% of circulation and sales, and at least 8000 yuan per kilogram of dry sea cucumbers, so it will certainly add salt or add less than four thousand yuan per kilogram. Sugar, glue more than 50%. In addition, the dry sea cucumber with a single head of more than 10 grams of sea cucumber with more than 0.5 kilograms of sea cucumbers can be processed. The sea cucumber is very rare, and the price is very high. It is impossible to sell at about 4000 yuan per kilogram.
Xie Jun, director general of the general manager of Ji'nan seafood market management company, said that the current market share of pure dry sea cucumbers in sea cucumber is only about 20%. Salt and even sugar sea cucumbers are "welcome" by some consumers, one of which is because some consumers do not understand, but there are many "gifts". The buyer deliberately bought a big, cheap, poor quality reference.
apart from dried sea cucumbers, the reporter has learned that many instant sea cucumbers are priced at only a dozen yuan per head. In some industry, most of the sea cucumbers, which are too cheap, are mostly no longer ginseng from 1 to 2 years. In order to increase and keep their shape, it is possible to add water preservatives and preservatives, especially when consumers buy.
for how consumers identify sea cucumbers, Li Jianguo, director of the Ji'nan Cuisine Association, said that when people buy sea cucumbers, they don't have to go too far in the pursuit of the size of the single head, not a kilogram of money, but to look at the amount of money. Now the sea cucumber is not too big for 3 years. The price per head should be at least 20 yuan. The sea cucumbers with low head price or low price per kilogram and large size are difficult to guarantee.
Du Huizhen, vice president of the Shandong nutrition society, warned that although sea cucumber is very suitable for the nourishing of autumn and winter, it is not suitable for all people, especially those who have poor liver function and children, and eating sea cucumber has no special benefits. For those who are weak and need to be nourishing, eat one meal a day.
some insiders said in a reporter's interview that the current turmoil in the sea cucumber market is in urgent need of government departments to rectify it so as to avoid the recurrence of the industrial tragedy caused by food safety.
survey: the price of sea cucumber is very different from
in Futian farmer's market. There are hundreds of shops specializing in tonic, and almost every family has sea cucumbers to sell, and the price is also far worse. Reporter visited nearly ten nourishing lines, found that the cheapest price of sea cucumber is five hundred or six hundred yuan a Jin, the most expensive to be twenty thousand or thirty thousand yuan a Jin, but 2000~4000 yuan / jin of the majority. The main producing areas are Dalian and some from Japan and South Africa.
in a pilose antler, reporters saw more than ten kinds of sea cucumbers on the counter, ranging from 2200~7600 yuan to Jin. When the clerk heard that the reporter wanted to buy sea cucumber, he removed 2200 yuan / Jin and 2400 yuan / Jin from the cabinet. The reporter picked up a observation, two kinds of sea cucumbers are almost all, feel a little wet feel, the color is black, a bit big, put on the scale, weighing more than ten grams. The two kinds of sea cucumbers have a white substance on the outside. They smell salty, and the salesmen call it dried salt dried sea cucumbers, so they will have some salt on their appearance. Then the reporter asked the clerk to take a look at the dried dried sea cucumber. The dried sea cucumber is much smaller than the dried sea cucumber. It is about six or seven grams per piece. It is lighter in color and smells pure and feels hard. The clerk again said, "don't look at this kind of small size. It's the same size as more than 2000. But the price is relatively high, which is 4000 more Jin. "
while in another ginseng mill, the salesmen tried to sell a sea cucumber called Sha Sha ginseng to reporters. According to the shop assistant, this kind of bald ginseng is produced from Sri Lanka and is also dry sea cucumber. The taste is as good as the high price sea cucumber, and the hair is much bigger, but the price is very good, as long as 500 yuan a kilo. Reporters looked at the sea cucumber, which is about two times the size of the common sea cucumber. The whole body is light brown with a soft texture and no thorns. Then the reporter looked at the salt dried sea cucumber and the dry sea cucumber in Dalian. Strangely, it was different from the previous one, which was much bigger than the salt dry sea cucumber. The color was also black and gray, and the price was 3000 yuan / Jin.
experts: dried dried sea cucumber at least 10000 yuan a Jin
, so how can consumers choose sea cucumber? How many sea cucumbers are there on the market? Xiao Lingxia, the head of the Shenzhen flagship store, told reporters that, first of all, it is possible to determine that the market for selling three thousand or four thousand pieces of sea cucumbers can never be really dry sea cucumbers, because they do not add anything in the dry process of dry sea cucumbers, and the whole journey takes several years, so it is true. Dry sea cucumbers should be at least ten thousand yuan. And three thousand or four thousand a jin of "dry sea cucumber" may be the store household salt dry sea cucumber, may be mixed with impurities, and a possible use of sea cucumbers is captive. "Salt dried sea cucumbers are much cheaper than dry dried sea cucumbers because they contain much more salt than dried sea cucumbers," Xiao Lingxia added.
, then how can consumers distinguish the quality of sea cucumber when buying? Xiao Lingxia said that on the face of it, some skills are indeed needed. The dried sea cucumber is generally smaller and smells more pure. It has no smell and feels hard and dry. The dried sea cucumbers are relatively large and feel soft and sticky, with a white substance on the outside and a salty taste. In addition, in the hair sea cucumber, you can also observe the water used to soak, the good sea cucumber after soaking, the whole bowl of water is clear, and if you buy a bad sea cucumber, the water soaked will be more cloudy.
