Every lunch and dinner rush hour, the restaurants on Huaxing East Street are almost full, the waiters shout at the door, the kitchen is jingling... The surrounding office buildings continue to feed customers, and the F&B outlets compete in cooking day after day. However, the "Wei Jiang On the Chinese Restaurant" attached to No. 1 on the 1st floor of Building 1, No. 63 Huaxing East Street was "fouled" in this competition.
Recently, consumers reported that this Chinese restaurant was suspected of adding poppy shells to food. The Jinjiang District Market and Quality Supervision and Administration Bureau quickly intervened in the investigation after receiving the report, and in mid-July, the case-handling personnel of the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Brigade of the Jinjiang District Public Security Bureau entered the scene for inspection.
According to law enforcement officials, during the inspection of the store's kitchen condiment area, a bowl of shiny oil and spicy seeds attracted the attention of the case-handling personnel. There are sesame seeds floating on the spicy seeds, the aroma is strong, it does not look unusual, the case handling personnel use the spoon to stir, the oil spicy seeds will show the flaws, the spoon salvaged up the suspected poppy shell substance, the size of the pecan fruit is similar.

The restaurateur confessed:
Cold dishes such as folded ear roots and cold powder are added in noodles
It is understood that the ingredient in the poppy shell, tibain, also known as: dimethylmorphine, can be addictive. According to the test report issued by China Testing and Certification Group Co., Ltd., the batch of chili oil contains papaverine, nacotin, tibain and other ingredients. A few days ago, the boss involved in the case, Dai Mou, has been arrested.
"Poppies are explicitly prohibited from being added in the Food Safety Law." According to law enforcement personnel of the Jinjiang District Market and Quality Supervision And Administration Bureau, Article 34 of the Food Safety Law stipulates that food produced with non-food raw materials or foods with chemical substances other than food additives and other substances that may endanger human health, or food produced with recycled food as raw materials, will be prohibited from production and operation, while poppy is a "non-food raw material" and is "other substances that may endanger human health".
In addition, according to article 22 of the Administrative Punishment Law, if the illegal act constitutes a crime, the administrative organ shall transfer the case to the judicial organ and pursue criminal responsibility in accordance with law.
At present, the boss involved in the case, Dai Mou, has admitted to his illegal act of adding poppy shells. When explaining the case, he said that he added these substances to make the oil spicy more colorful and improve the taste of the dish. Usually, chili oil is mainly added to some cold dishes, such as cold mixed ear roots and cold powder, and sometimes these chili oils may be used in noodles.
In addition to the sign of "Wei Will Be Chinese Restaurant", there is also a "Snow Mountain Fast Food" on the top, which is more eye-catching. It is understood that Dai, who only has a primary school culture, originally worked under the boss, and took over the shop from the boss in March 2016, with a monthly rent of more than 10,000 yuan. According to people familiar with the matter, in order to expand the influence and make the "field bigger", in July this year, Dai joined forces with the "private dining room" next door and opened the middle wall, and the two bosses were divided into five or five.
It is understood that Dai bought poppy shells from vendors, 10 yuan a piece, and refined seven or eight pounds of chili oil on July 10 this year, and a cold dish will put one or two chili oils each time.
What should I do if I have doubts?
Leave 50 ml of soup and send it to a drug testing agency
Some research results show that people who eat foods with poppy shells for a long time will have symptoms such as chills, sweating, fatigue, yellow muscle thinness and other symptoms; in severe cases, it may cause damage to the nervous system, digestive system, and even endocrine disorders and other symptoms, and eventually become addicted, with a potential tendency to take drugs.
"The use of poppy husks is clearly regulated by national laws and prohibits the illegal supply, transport and use of poppy husks. However, there are still food processors who disregard national laws, regulations and the health of ordinary people, and mix poppy husks into food to attract repeat customers. The reporter learned from the Jinjiang District Market and Quality Supervision and Administration Bureau that the "List of Non-edible Substances and Food Additives That May Be Illegally Added to Food" promulgated by the state in 2009 lists poppy shells and marks the main food categories that may be added: hot pot, hot pot base and snacks, and may also be used for brine products, and even beverages.
Law enforcement officers from the Jinjiang District Market and Quality Supervision And Administration Bureau also said that ordinary consumers can first identify the poppy shell from the appearance, which is the shape of a date core, such as the size of a pigeon egg, one pointed, and the other end is a 6 to 14-petal crown. Its shell is often artificially cut with multiple knife marks. If you first eat a hot pot and brine products with poppy shells, you generally have a rapid heartbeat, a slight red face, a comfortable taste, and it is not easy to fall asleep after eating.
