As an experienced doctor, he has an in-depth understanding of various health issues. Recently, there has been a saying circulating on the Internet that steamed buns will breed a class of carcinogens if they are frozen for too long, which has worried many people. So, is this claim credible?
Let's take a look.
First, we need to understand what carcinogens are. Carcinogens are substances that can cause malignant changes in the body's cells and cause cancer. A class of carcinogens is a substance that has been identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as having a definite carcinogenic effect on humans.
So, will steamed bread be frozen for too long to breed a class of carcinogens?According to the available scientific research and information, there is no evidence that steamed bread produces a class of carcinogens during the freezing process. In fact, freezing is a method of preserving food by lowering the temperature of the food to delay the spoilage of the food and prolong the shelf life of the food. During the freezing process, microorganisms in food may be killed or inhibited, reducing the risk of food poisoning.
However, it should be noted that if the steamed bread has been contaminated before it is frozen, or if the steamed bread has deteriorated or become moldy due to freezing for too long, harmful substances may be produced and affect human health. In addition, the use of illegal additives or additives in the production process by some unscrupulous merchants may also lead to food safety problems.
Therefore, we recommend that you pay attention to the production date, shelf life and other information of the product when buying steamed bread, and avoid buying expired or unreliable quality products. At the same time, for homemade steamed buns, you should pay attention to the storage method and time to avoid spoilage caused by long-term storage.
