With the arrival of winter, Sichuan-style bacon sausage has once again become a popular food on people's tables. However, recently, when Mr. Liu (pseudonym), a citizen of Sichuan, was purchasing a batch of bacon sausages for a supermarket, he discovered a surprising fact: some bacon and sausages on the market are actually simulated by adding coloring smoke or smoke liquid flavor to simulate the smoky color and smoky taste, not real smoke. This discovery has sparked heated discussions and attention among netizens.
In fact, this "liquid fumigation method" is not an isolated case, but one of the hot topics on the Internet in recent years. At the same time, the discussion on "prohibiting the illegal smoking of bacon" in Sichuan is also hotly launched on the Internet. Although the traditional smoking Xi has a history of thousands of years, with the development of science and technology and the enhancement of environmental awareness, liquid smoking products have gradually entered the market. Many netizens said: "No matter what kind of technology is ruthless, is it healthier than real smoke?."So, what is the truth?
In order to unravel the mystery, upstream news reporters conducted an investigation. At the same time, experts remind consumers that when buying bacon sausages, they must keep their eyes open, choose reputable brands, and do not be fooled by low prices or beautiful appearances to prevent the purchase of inferior products.
It is understood that the liquid smoking method is to fake the smoky color by applying pigments, and then adding the flavor of the smoked liquid by soaking, injection, etc., and finally obtaining the smoky flavor by baking. This method makes the appearance of bacon sausages more appealing. However, experts point out that liquid smoking can cause some differences in taste and color compared to traditional smoking methods. In addition, there is no open flame or combustion in the liquid smoking process, so the flavor and color of the smoke and combustion products characteristic of conventional smoking are not produced.
When choosing a bacon sausage, consumers should first choose reputable brands that often have higher standards and control over product quality and safety. Secondly, it should be purchased in formal channels, stores or supermarkets, and avoid buying products that are not clear or do not have relevant inspection labels. Third, buy in moderation to ensure that you can eat it within the expiration date to avoid expiration and waste. Fourth, store it properly and heat it thoroughly before eating.
