Recently, a netizen in Qingdao, Shandong Province found that there seemed to be a rat's tail in the ham produced by Longda Meat that he bought, which was staggering.
The netizen said that he was not only disgusted, but also worried about food hygiene, saying that "there are hairs on this" and "I thought it was a bug at first".
According to the packaging, the ham manufacturer is Shandong Longda Gourmet Co., Ltd.***, and the production date is January 28, 2024.
On February 29, the reporter called the company's customer service**, and the other party said that it was under investigation and hung up**.
On March 3, Longda Gourmet Co., Ltd. issued a statement on the foreign body incident involving its ham products.
The company said that the foreign object found in the ham involved was suspected to be animal blood vessels, ruling out the possibility of a rat's tail.
Some netizens questioned the company's response, arguing that food safety concerns still exist.
This reminds me of the "Finger Mouse for Duck" incident that happened before. One student claimed to have eaten a rat's head in the school cafeteria, but the school and local authorities said it was not a rat's head, but a duck's neck.
It wasn't until this incident caused an uproar on the Internet that the relevant departments joined the investigation. The end result was that it was indeed a rat's head.
What makes me very puzzled is that the duck neck and the rat head are clear at a glance, and the facts are there, why let the relevant departments confuse the public's words?
At the end of the day, it's just that the punishment is too light. Many companies simply don't pay enough attention to food safety, and they take chances and think that nothing will happen. When something goes wrong, their first instinct is to calm the situation, rather than compensating customers or improving food safety.
The relevant departments also gave these enterprises a platform, which seriously damaged the credibility of the public.
Food safety is definitely a "zero tolerance" area, and if there is a problem, it must be severely punished.
Enterprises must realize that food safety is a matter of life and death, and it is not something that can be left to chance. **Departments should strengthen supervision to ensure food safety and safeguard the safety and health of consumers. Only then can we truly enjoy our food with peace of mind.
Hot spot.
