Top 10 Most Common Food Scams in China, Have You Ever Bought These Things?What are they?

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-31

With the rapid development of science and technology, life is getting better and better. On the counter, there is a mouth-watering array of food. However, in today's increasingly strong awareness of food safety, there are still some "black-hearted" businesses here. shoddy, false marketing, and even direct "selling fakes". The following ten categories of products are "hard-hit areas", and the products seen on the market are all "**Have you stepped on these pits?".

Olive oil. Olive oil, known as "liquid **", even organized a "mercenary" in medieval Europe. Travel back to the Middle Ages and run to Byzantium, not knowing how much wealth a barrel of olive oil can bring you. Even in modern times, olive oil is still "sky-high". A small bottle costs hundreds of thousands, but there are still countless people who "flock to it". However, some "black-hearted merchants" are eyeing its value. They pass off low-quality cheap cooking oil, which is not olive oil at all, as extra virgin olive oil and make it into the market. The unexpected profits made them a lot of money. But the olive oil market was "destroyed" by them into such a "messy" mess.

Dried fruits and vegetables.

If you want to say who is the classic case of "marketing", dried fruits and vegetables must be taken out to say. The pace of life is getting faster and faster, and there are fewer and fewer young people cooking, and sometimes they don't even have time to eat a single fruit. In order to supplement the necessary "nutrition" of the human body, dried fruits and vegetables broke in under the banner of supplementing fruit and vegetable nutrition. But these "dried fruits and vegetables" are wrapped in a golden coat. How much nutrient can they leave behind when they are "soaked" in a pan of oil?You must know that the nutrients contained in fruits and vegetables are easily "dissipated" in a high temperature and high heat environment. Coupled with too much fat, calories "soared", causing many dried fruits and vegetables to deviate from their original intentions and become junk food.

Protein powder. I don't know when words like "calorie bomb, carbohydrates" began to enter our lives. Under this trend, staple foods have become the main culprit of "obesity", and fat loss has become a temporary trend. In order to replenish the protein needed by the human body without eating meat and eggs, protein powder came into being. However, it is clear that this product, which is aimed at fat loss people, somehow broke into the lives of ordinary people. The average person gets enough protein powder from food in their daily diet, and even has a tendency to exceed the standard. Excess protein will "accumulate" in the body, and those that cannot be digested are even at risk of being "oxidized". If you are not pregnant, convalescent, or fitness people, there is no harm in eating protein powder.

Flavored jasmine rice. The "first shot" of this year's 315 party refers to the "polished rice" disguised as "Thai fragrant rice". A few drops of flavor can double the value of ordinary rice and become a "foreign product" abroad. You know, according to 2020 statistics, the total amount of rice exported by Thailand has not exceeded 1,000 tons. Thanks to the efforts of these merchants, the circulation of so-called "Thai fragrant rice" in China is much larger than this figure. The harm of long-term exposure to flavor is self-evident, but these "unconscionable" merchants have sent it to the tables of thousands of households. After solving the problem of having enough to eat, they stared at people's hope of "eating well". Not only does it cheat customers out of their money, but it also harms their health. Such a product is disgusting.

Maple syrup. "Maple honey" made from the juice of sugar maple is a "national treasure" condiment of Canada. Due to its pleasant color and high sugar content, many sweets have a precious tooth. However, due to the lack of an industrial chain for the production of maple syrup in China, its first level has remained high. Some "unscrupulous merchants" have set their sights on this "business opportunity". They went out of their way to find alternatives, looking for a "caramel color" similar to maple syrup. Corn syrup, both in terms of liquid viscosity and color, meets their requirements. Under their operation, the corn syrup is dressed up as "gorgeous" and becomes 100% "authentic". There are even some merchants who blatantly "fabricate" the origin of their products and turn them into foreign "imported products". Vegetarian chicken and duck are said to be bad for the health of eating too much meat, and some businesses plan to start with "vegetarian alternatives". Pixel chicken, duck and even vegetarian shrimp, countless "vegetarian" are dizzying. Under the banner of "vegetarianism", they carried the banner of food safety and walked onto people's tables. However, in fact, as long as you think about it, you can understand that vegetarian meat must be heavy oil and heavy salt. How can there be health under heavy oil salt?And the protein content of legumes is not low. For this reason, discarding the nutrition originally brought by meat is not "abandoning the root and chasing the tail" and abandoning health?Therefore, they are more suitable as snacks than so-called "health food".

Tianfei Moutai. There is always ** around famous wines, and Tianfei Moutai is one of the "hardest hit areas". Like "special channels", or "fake one pays three", there are countless ways to deceive people. Some people *** Moutai wine bottles, not for "environmental protection", but for "irrigation". There are also some merchants who sell ** Tianfei Moutai at a low price to attract the attention of customers. They tend to send some ** first, and after the identification, they will remember the idea of making a difference. Since then, they have been distributing fake liquor under the brand name and making huge profits. Give these clients two dates first, and then give them a few "slaps in the face". This is their "business philosophy". Many people have been cheated out of their homes because of greed. I thought I had seized the opportunity, but I didn't think about it, but I fell into a bottomless pit.

A fan of someone. Vermicelli has a good taste and a smooth taste, and is very popular with many people. But the vermicelli we often talk about is usually sweet potato vermicelli by default. Of course, in addition to sweet potato vermicelli, there are also countless varieties of yam vermicelli and potato vermicelli. The difference between them is obvious, and it can also be distinguished from **. But "cassava vermicelli" has sprung up, and "sweet potato vermicelli" has seized the living space. It is known as sweet potato vermicelli, but neither the texture nor the taste can be compared. If you come across low-priced "sweet potato vermicelli", be sure to distinguish carefully. Authentic sweet potato flour is dark, not so transparent, and it won't be too cheap, generally around ten yuan.

Lafite in 1982.

How much Lafite was produced in France in 1982 has become an unsolved mystery in the world. It can always be seen in TV dramas and various high-end banquet venues. It seems that without it, the party would not be classy. If you think about it on your toes, you can understand how the production capacity of red wine in 1982 can be sold now. It's nothing more than ** some empty bottles, with some red wine to "pretend" as a 1982 classic. But customers still have to pay the price of 82 years to "enjoy" contemporary products.

Black sesame soup.

How long has the black sesame paste that can "nourish hair" stand on the "altar"?Eating "sweet and greasy" is terrible, but under the banner of "health", it claims to be "healthy" food. Perhaps, black sesame seeds do have this miraculous effect. How many accessories are added to the making of black sesame paste?Rice flour is mixed with saccharin, which is so sweet that starch and glucose are intertwined. Moreover, there is no scientific basis for black sesame "hair nourishment", it is just the "experience" of the older generation.

If you eat yourself as "high blood sugar" for this reason, it is really "more than worth the loss". Think of food as healthy, but carefully identify the nutrient content of these foods and don't force them for "special purposes". And the food safety problem, in addition to the best institutions, also depends on everyone to maintain together. When you find counterfeit and shoddy products, don't be "arrogant", and be sure to report objective problems. Don't let "Sanlu" repeat itself, don't let "gutter oil" reappear. There is still a long way to go for food safety. For everyone's food safety, we work together.
