There have been a number of positive food tests
With the approach of the Spring Festival, many families have started the New Year's goods procurement mode, and all kinds of food have entered thousands of households. However, at this time, there were suddenly a number of incidents of food being tested positive for the new crown, including some common daily foods, such as various fruits, seafood, snacks, etc.
This immediately caused an uproar online.
A large number of netizens have expressed concern, questioning whether these positive foods are really safe to eat and whether we are at risk of spreading the virus through food. Many parents are worried about the fruits and other foods that their children may be exposed to on a daily basis.
Some netizens directly regarded the list of foods that tested positive in various places as "taboo" and called on others to stop buying.
In the absence of an authoritative explanation, quite a few people fell into panic and anxiety. Suddenly, a variety of foods that are essential for daily life are labeled as "positive", which is overwhelming.
There are fears that the virus will be transmitted through ingestion, and there is a fear that eating these foods will infect them. Concerns about food safety are spreading rapidly online, and there is an urgent need for professional scientific guidance.
At this time, it is the responsibility of truly responsible scientists to stand up, analyze the problem from a scientific perspective, clarify the facts in authoritative language, and avoid causing social panic and even chaos due to rumors.
Food positive incidents affect the hearts of thousands of households, and the power of scientific knowledge is needed to resolve doubts, so that the public can regain rationality and re-establish a correct awareness of food safety.
The University of Science and Technology issued an article explaining the food positive incident
In the face of social concerns, HKUST realized that as a science popularizer, he had the responsibility to stand up and correct the public's misunderstandings about food safety and dispel the panic caused by the rumors.
So he began to publish a series of popular science articles on his official account, trying to explain in detail to the public the internal logic of food positive testing. He began by making it clear that testing positive does not mean that the food is completely unfit for consumption.
At the same time, he introduced the scientific concept of "virus content threshold", which explained in layman's terms that the national regulatory authorities have set detailed virus residue standards for different types of food, and only when the detected quantity exceeds a certain threshold, it is considered infectious and harmful.
He also cited specific data, pointing out that even if the virus in many daily foods tests positive, its levels are far below the safety standards set by the state, and in fact they can still be eaten with confidence and will not cause substantial harm to the human body.
From this scientific perspective, HKUST analyzed and explained the relationship between "positive" and "safe", and called on the public to be calm and rational when understanding food testing data.
To make it easier to understand, HKUST also presents the potential risks at different levels of virus content in a visual graph. He pointed out that the binary judgment dimensions of "positive" and "negative" alone cannot reflect the true safety of food, and the detection indicators should be examined based on national standards.
This provides a scientific way for people to interpret regulatory data correctly.
In a series of easy-to-understand popular science interpretations, HKUST used his excellent professional knowledge to resolve the public's doubts, let the public understand that the vague panic of "positive" does not represent the actual risk, and established a rational awareness of food safety.
This reflects his high sense of social responsibility as a scientist.
The University of Science and Technology analyzes the problem of pesticide residues and talks about the dose
After dispelling the public's doubts about food positive incidents, HKUST found that another public concern about food safety was the problem of pesticide residues in agricultural products.
Many consumers believe that any residue is "toxic", and the University believes that it is necessary to stand up again and correct the misunderstanding.
HKUST first pointed out that when we talk about any chemical substance, we should not depart from the important parameter of dosage, but should consider the specific content level. For example, he explained that just as any drug has an appropriate amount, only a certain dose can have a negative effect, and there are also allowable trace levels of pesticide residues, and it is impossible to require completely zero residues.
To make the argument more convincing, HKUST also specifically ranked the common content ranges of pesticide residues in different foods, which are well below the safety standards set by the state.
He called on the public to look at the problem of residues rationally and distinguish between anxiety and real harm. At the same time, he also suggested that the regulatory authorities publish more specific data, rather than simply "qualified" and "unqualified", so that the public can have a more scientific judgment on the food situation.
In addition, HKUST also pointed out that the so-called "green organic" and "all-natural" are often just marketing gimmicks for merchants. In reality, it is not realistic to achieve a completely zero-residue requirement for all agricultural products.
The key is to keep it within an acceptable safety range, which in turn is better for your health.
Through popular explanations, HKUST once again inspired the public to establish scientific food safety awareness. He called on the public not to be confused by labels such as "green" and "natural", but to fully understand the actual safety level of food additives and pesticide residues and make rational choices.
The University of Science and Technology imparts practical tips for removing pesticide residues
After analyzing the safety of pesticide residues in food, the University realized that it is also necessary to teach the public some simple and practical methods to remove pesticide residues, so that ordinary consumers can also reduce the pesticide content in food through daily operations and improve food safety.
Therefore, he wrote a special article to teach the easy-to-operate household pesticide residue removal tips. First of all, he introduced in detail a variety of washing techniques for fresh vegetables and fruits, such as the use of water, light salt water, vinegar water and other characteristics of different washing liquids, and the sequential use of various washing methods, which can effectively remove pesticide residues without damaging food nutrition.
Then, for some thin-skinned fruits and vegetables, the branch greatly recommends using the peeling method. He pointed out that reasonable peeling can reduce the intake of pesticides in food by more than 80%, and explained how to control the proportion of peeling and retain enough nutrients.
Finally, the University of Science and Technology taught a simple boiling or steaming method, which can significantly reduce the content of residual pesticides in a few minutes with an open flame. He also provided tips on how to master the heat and time, so as to achieve the effect of removing pesticide residues without destroying the ingredients.
Through intuitive and easy-to-operate residue removal, HKUST has transformed its complex expertise into a tool for the public, enabling them to take targeted treatment according to different ingredients, proactively reduce the probability of physical exposure to potential pesticide hazards, and improve food safety.
Netizens thanked HKUST for its contribution to science popularization
Under the analysis of a series of easy-to-understand popular science articles of HKUST, the majority of netizens have a more accurate understanding of the professional knowledge related to food safety, and various misunderstandings and panics caused by rumors have gradually subsided.
They began to realize that many seemingly terrifying "positive foods" or "excessive pesticide residues" foods do not necessarily have actual harm, and the key lies in scientific analysis and rational judgment of professional data.
HKUST uses simple and vivid language to explain many complex professional concepts, so that the general public can also have a correct view of food safety issues based on scientific principles.
