The public suspected that they had bought watered meat vendors who said that people had to sweat in summer and pork had to be watered.

On August 14, the reporter received a complaint from Xia Lei (a pseudonym), a citizen of Yongzhou, Hunan Province, that the pork he bought from the Hongping Market in Fenghuangyuan (Coral vegetable Market) in the cold water beach area was seriously leaking and suspected that he had bought watered pork.

After the pork was cut and placed in a fresh-keeping bag, blood continued to ooze.

Napkins that cannot be burned after testing

It is suspected that the water-filled pork paper towels will not burn after being pressed and soaked.

"the meat was a little wet and not sticky. I cut it into small pieces and packed it in a fresh bag. I was going to put it in the refrigerator, but I found that the blood was oozing more and more." At about 11:00 in the morning, Xia Lei bought a piece of lean meat at a stall in Hongping Market in Fenghuangyuan at a price of 15 yuan per catty. Unexpectedly, she found that the meat was constantly oozing blood after buying it home.

I suspected it was watered pork, so I found a way to identify watered pork in the official news online. According to the method provided online, Xia Lei affixed the tissue to the cut section of the pork and pressed it slightly. She found that the tissue was quickly drenched. Then she lit the tissue with fire, only to find that the wet part of the tissue could not burn. "generally speaking, if it is pig fat, it can be burned." Xia Lei said.

Butcher: people sweat in summer and pork needs water.

Through identification, Xia Lei more suspected that what she bought was watered pork. At noon on August 13, Xia Lei found the meat vendor with the meat. The butcher said that people will sweat in summer, the pork will also come out of the water, and there is no problem with the meat they sell. "I think what he said is a little funny." In the face of this view, Xia Lei does not agree.

As a result, Xia Lei came to the Hongping Market Office in Fenghuangyuan, where staff said that her unit could not judge whether the meat was watered pork and needed to find a quality inspection department to identify it.

Next, Xia Lei called the Food and Drug Administration of Lengshuitan District. "with the addition of the QQ number, I sent the picture to the FDA staff." Xia Lei said that because it was the weekend, the staff of the bureau said it would be submitted to the leader for approval on Monday before dealing with it.

Food is the most important thing for the people, this net will continue to follow the progress of this matter, follow-up reports please follow!

When buying meat, how can we avoid injecting water into the meat? The following four tips can be used for reference.

1. Touch: touch the surface of the meat with your hands, the watered meat has a wet feeling, while the unwatered fresh pork has a certain stickiness and is not wet.

2, look: after water injection, the muscle color becomes light or grayish red, appears swollen, and looks wet from the section. The fresh pork without water is white in fat, shiny in muscle, uniform in red, slightly dry or slightly moist in appearance.

3. Pressure: that is, to observe the elasticity of the muscle, rest assured that the depression of the meat finger can recover immediately and the elasticity is good, while the elasticity of the injected meat decreases, the depression recovers slowly after the finger pressure, and the liquid can be seen to flow out from the section under heavy pressure.

4. Test: because of the high moisture content, you can stick the napkin on the meat and take it off quickly. if the napkin is wet and torn off, it may be watered meat. Then, light the napkin with a lighter. If the napkin doesn't burn thoroughly, nine times out of ten, this kind of pork is "watered meat".
