Next weekend is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The North City Health Bureau inspected a total of 80 products sold in the market, such as moon cakes, barbecue ingredients, sauces, and so on, and all the quality met the regulations, but the nutrition labels of a total of 15 companies, including slightly hot hills, did not comply with the regulations, accounting for 34.9%. The Health Bureau stressed that at present, all the operators have been instructed to make improvements, and the operators must complete the improvement before they can continue to sell.

According to the new "matters to be followed in the Nutrition labelling of packaged Food" on July 1 this year, manufacturers must calculate the sugar content of the product itself and the additional sugar added; at the same time, the sodium content must be expressed in integers.

The nutrition format has also been changed from five to two, which means that operators can only choose from "per serving and per 100g/ml" or "per serving and daily reference value percentage".

Famous businessmen such as slightly hot hills and Shangcheng cakes are on the list.

In addition to eating moon cakes, as people are also used to barbecue on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Yung-hsien, a dietitian at Chung Hsing Hospital of Taipei Municipal Union Hospital, suggests that people should reduce the use of seasoning and barbecue sauces. As the barbecue sauce sold in the market contains many ingredients such as sugar, sodium, oil and so on, if it is applied on the salted meat which contains salt itself, it will easily lead to excessive intake of salt and sugar.

"in fact, people might as well consider homemade barbecue sauce," says Lin. People only need to take out 2 tablespoons of commercially available barbecue sauce and mix it with 2 tablespoons of miso, half an orange and 150 grams of apples and pineapples, or 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce. Add 1 tablespoon miso, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 50 grams of tomatoes, onions, celery, 25 grams of onions, coriander, 20 grams of pepper, etc.

During the barbecue, she also suggests using "vegetable rolls" or eating more mushroom ingredients to increase fiber intake, and eating vegetable juice and more exercise after meals to boost metabolism.

In the part of moon cakes, she points out that on average, an Egg-Yolk Puff has as many as 250 calories, and mung bean curd also has 224 calories. for adults of 50 kilograms, they need to walk at a speed of 6 kilometers per hour continuously for an hour to metabolize these calories. therefore, it is suggested that the public should reduce the burden on their bodies by sharing food among many people.
