A friend who works in a supermarket told me that whoever buys these things in the supermarket will be fooled. If you know about it early, you can avoid the trap early.
Nowadays, it has become more and more convenient to go shopping. No matter what you need at home, food, drink, clothing, etc., most of your needs can be met with just a trip to the supermarket. Especially today's large supermarkets, which are usually national chains, have purchasing channels that go directly to the source of items. This means that shopping in a supermarket not only offers a wide variety of products, but may also be more affordable than online. Therefore, whenever supermarkets hold events, you can often see many adults queuing up in long lines just to buy high-quality and low-priced goods. When shopping in the supermarket, we may encounter various products, some of which may seem tempting, but may actually have some problems. Today, I will introduce you to several supermarket products that you need to be wary of.
First of all, it’s minced meat. In supermarkets, we can often see some fresh meat, among which minced meat is the most common. Many friends like to use minced meat to make meatballs or dumplings. However, these minced meat may be very dirty. Although they sell for less, the quality may not be up to par. I suggest that you try to buy this kind of minced meat as little as possible, because some unscrupulous businesses may use trimmings or overnight meat to make minced meat. This kind of minced meat not only tastes bad, but may also have a strong fishy smell. I suggest that everyone buy fresh meat in the supermarket and grind it at home. This not only ensures the freshness of the ingredients, but also allows you to adjust it according to your own taste, which is economical and affordable.
The second item is frozen meatballs in bulk. In supermarket freezers, we can find a variety of frozen ingredients, including various meatballs. Whether it is vegetarian meatballs, meatballs or fish meatballs, they are all loved by everyone. Especially during the hot pot season, many people buy it several times a week. However, I recommend against purchasing frozen meatballs in bulk. Because there may be a dozen different kinds of bulk meatballs in a freezer, and if they are frozen for a long time, their flavors may change and affect the taste. Also, bulk meatballs don’t have a clear production date, so we have no way of knowing how long they’ve been frozen.
The third item is dumplings in bulk. In supermarkets, we can often see discounted bulk dumplings. These hard dumplings may only cost 5 yuan a pound, but the texture and taste are beyond praise. More importantly, these bulk quick-frozen dumplings have a particularly long shelf life and are not individually packaged, making it easy for bacteria to breed. Although the price is cheap, I don’t recommend that you buy more. In fact, it is very convenient to make dumplings at home. If you have time, I suggest you make dumplings at home. This is simple and fast, clean and hygienic, and tastes good.
First of all, fruit platter is the choice of many people because it allows us to try a variety of fruits at one time. However, some fruit platters may not be as fresh as we think. These fruits may have been sitting around for a long time, and some may no longer be fresh. Although they look good when peeled and cut into pieces, their quality has been greatly reduced. Therefore, to ensure you get fresh fruit, it's best to choose whole fruits.
Secondly, dead crabs are also products that need to be vigilant. Although dead crabs are much cheaper than fresh crabs, they may harbor disease-causing microorganisms and parasites. These microorganisms and parasites multiply rapidly after the crab dies and can cause intestinal infections and other health problems if eaten. Therefore, do not buy or eat dead crabs, even if the price is attractive.
In addition, bread that is about to expire is also a product that needs attention. These breads are probably on sale and look like a great deal. However, they may contain higher levels of mold and bacteria. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, their immune systems may be weaker and more susceptible to the effects of these bacteria. Therefore, it is recommended to buy fresh bread and check the shelf life on the label.
Finally, expired food is also a commodity that requires vigilance.Expired food may contain harmful substances that may affect human health. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, their body functions gradually decrease, their resistance decreases, and they are more susceptible to the harm of expired food. When buying food, be sure to carefully check the production date and shelf life to ensure that you are buying fresh and safe food. You need to stay vigilant when shopping in the supermarket and choose fresh and safe products. Don't buy questionable products just for the sake of cheapness, so as not to bring potential risks to your health.
