Sisters, take a look at this kind of quick-frozen dumplings, have you bought them at home?
A few days ago, a well-known brand of dumplings was exposed to false propaganda - 19 pork dumplings contain more chicken or duck skin than pork! And more than 1.4 million packs have been sold!
"Spend the money on pork dumplings and eat a bunch of chicken and duck skin?"
Speaking of which, dumplings are considered to be the carrying handle of quick-frozen food, and almost every family has eaten them. There are also children's dumplings, wontons, cartoon steamed buns, steamed buns, and finger cakes that children love to eat.
It's very popular now, and it's really convenient to buy it early at home.
So, how to choose this kind of quick-frozen food more assured? How to eat healthier? Let's have a good chat today~
In order to avoid buying dumplings like the one in the news, "selling dog meat with a sheep's head", everyone looks at the ingredient list when picking.
For example, if it is pork and celery dumplings, the amount of pork in the ingredients should not be less than that of other meats. To put it bluntly, pork must appear at the front to be called "real pork dumplings".
Then it depends on the sodium content. Don't just see the word "child" and close your eyes.
We went to the surrounding supermarkets to take a look, and found that the sodium content of some children's dumplings was much higher than that of ordinary dumplings.

There are also children's wontons, the sodium content is even more amazing! Counting the vegetable packets and soup packets, the sodium content is as high as 1010mg per 100g!
Too much sodium intake not only affects the absorption of calcium, but also makes it easy to develop a strong taste, which is not friendly to the child's kidneys, and even affects the child's immunity.
Therefore, how much sodium is appropriate for children to choose dumplings/wontons?
✅ Under 3 years old, the sodium content < 300mg/100g;
✅ 3 ~ 6 years old, choose sodium content < 600mg/100g.
One more reminder, it is best to give children no or less soup packets. Because there's so much sodium in it!
Like the one above, 100g of wontons only have 503mg of sodium, but 5g of soup packets actually have 1440mg of sodium!
Cartoon fruit and vegetable steamed buns are usually cute, with small animals and doughnuts, which are colorful and especially attractive to children.
But some sisters may be worried, will there be pigment, can they give it to their children?
Most of the pigments are available, but don't panic, most businesses use natural pigments.
And it is generally marked on the packaging with the words "fruit and vegetable juice", "natural coloring", and "0 added artificial coloring".
It can also be seen from the ingredient list that there will be some naturally colored vegetable purees, such as pumpkin (yellow) and spinach (green) in the following steamed bun
In addition to the cartoon steamed buns above, some sisters may also buy some orange buns, bean paste buns, vegetable buns, and meat buns to make breakfast for their children.
However, this kind of stuffing, you have to be careful of high sugar and high sodium.
In the ingredient list of the "sweet packets", most of them will have white sugar, and some will add some extra glucose
We can choose this kind of bun with fewer types of sugar and lower sugar ranking (don't be in the top 2 ingredients).
Some will add "margarine", which may contain hydrogenated fats and fats, and theoretically there is a risk of trans fatty acids
At this time, it is best to take a second look at the "trans fatty acid content" in the ingredient list.
If the label is 0, it means that there are no trans fatty acids or the content is negligible, so you don't have to worry too much.
If you really don't mind, you can also choose other products that do not contain margarine.
In order to flavor the "savory bun", some "invisible salt" is usually added to the ingredients, such as brewed soy sauce, oil consumption, monosodium glutamate, and so on

In this case, it is best to take a look at the sodium content in the ingredient list, and choose the one with a relatively low value is healthier.
This sodium content is not high
If you find that rice wine or cooking wine is added to the ingredients, then we do not recommend it to children before the age of 5.

The finger cake is also very delicious, crispy and delicious, usually sandwich some sausages, eggs, and then put some green vegetable leaves, perfect reproduction of "street finger cakes", the key is to make their own ingredients clean and hygienic.
However, many finger cakes in the market have "shortening" in their ingredients.
Shortening is also a hydrogenated fat, which may contain trans fatty acids. So look at the trans fatty acid content in the ingredient list.
If it's 0 trans fatty acids, you don't have to worry too much. If you don't have a label or you are not sure, you can choose other products that do not contain shortening.
Finally, let's summarize the method for everyone~
