In the eyes of many people, "raw pickled" seafood such as sashimi, drunken shrimp, and choking crabs are delicious.
Today, many topics about "raw pickling" rushed to the hot search ↓
The so-called "raw pickling" is to marinate fish, shrimp, crab and other seafood or river fresh, marinate with wine, ginger, garlic and other spices, and then refrigerate or freeze it. Although delicious, the media has also recently reported many cases of people infected with parasites after eating. Can "raw pickled" seafood be eaten? Can liquor, mustard, etc. kill parasites in ingredients? What are some common misconceptions? Let's take a look at ↓
Myth 1
Marine fish are safer than freshwater fish
The reporter purchased raw food such as drunken crabs and drunken shrimp through online shopping, restaurants and vegetable markets, and sent them to professional laboratories for testing. Finally, the experimenters detected the parasite's cysticer in a drunken shrimp product. Cysticercosis are the larvae of fluke worms, which will adsorb on the intestinal wall after entering the human body, and will remain in the body and even invade the organs after growing.
Dai Yang, an associate researcher at the Jiangsu Institute of Parasitic Disease Control, said that the most common parasites in the mainland of raw food are liver flukes in freshwater fish and isopid nematodes in marine fish.
Chondridylus, also known as hepatic flukes, is one of the most common pathogenic parasites in freshwater fish in China. If you eat sashimi infected with liver flukes, the worm may parasitize the human bile ducts and gallbladder, causing cholangitis, cholecystitis, gallstones and so on. In particular, experts stress that it is wrong to think that marine fish are safer than freshwater fish.
Zheng Jianwei, chief physician of the Department of General Surgery at Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that The trematodes come from raw seafood and freshwater fish, and the risk of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer is very high.
Myth two
High concentrations of alcohol kill bacteria
There is also a misconception that parasites in food can be killed by liquor, mustard and other spices.
Zheng Jianwei, chief physician of the Department of General Surgery at Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that many people pickled with wine, vinegar or other materials and believed that this disinfection standard was met. In particular, there are some from the river or the sea after the obvious pollution, with high concentration of wine pickled, but high concentration of wine and medical high concentration of alcohol is very different, and the soaking time, depth is not up to standard, therefore, this so-called raw pickled food is still a great risk.
Buy fresh food
Choose a regular channel
The national standards for raw and cooked foods in the mainland are different, and the inspection and testing of fresh foods is more stringent. If you must eat or make raw pickled food, you must buy fresh ingredients that meet the standards in regular channels.
