The price of pork has dropped recently, and friends who love pork can feast on it. However, when buying pork, we must learn to distinguish between what is available and what is not. Otherwise, once you buy the pork in question, it will not only waste money, but may also have an impact on your health.
Knowledgeable pedestrians buy pork, turn around and leave when they see these four types, no matter how cheap they are, and the butchers themselves don't eat them! Now let's see what these four kinds of meat are.
The first is pork of unknown origin. Because you don't know where the pork came from, whether it had a disease before slaughtering, and how long the meat was left unattended, these are all unknowns. Such pork is not safeguarded. Some people may say that they don't know this information when they buy pork, so how can they buy healthy meat?
In fact, the method is very simple, you only need to see if there is an inspection and quarantine seal on the pork. According to the regulations, pork must go through multiple inspections and quarantine before it can be stamped and marketed. Pork that has been inspected is more guaranteed in terms of quality, and although many people do not like to buy pork with a stamp, this is a proof of the quality of pork.
Fortunately, the stamps on the pork are basically made from food-grade materials, and as long as the stamped pork is purchased through regular channels, the chances of problems are very small. But if there is no chapter, then this piece of pork may not have been quarantined and it is not possible to determine whether it is safe or not, so it is not recommended to buy this pork.
The second type is pork that is slimy and inelastic to the touch. The skin of fresh pork should be slightly dry or slightly moist and may also be a little greasy. It should have some elasticity when pressing. However, if the surface of the pork is sticky to the touch, it feels sticky, and it is not elastic when pressed, then the meat is likely to have been left out for too long or has spoiled. Because mucus is secreted only when the meat is spoiled. When encountering this kind of pork, it is best not to buy it even if it is processed at a reduced price.
The third type is pork with an odor. Normal pork should not smell other than a faint smell of blood. If it smells distinctly fishy, sour, or other strange tastes, the pork may have gone bad and rotten. Consuming such pork is likely to affect health and even lead to food poisoning. Therefore, when buying meat, we can also distinguish the good from the bad by smelling the taste.
Fourth, pork with a lot of white lumps on the outside. It's like a grain of rice, and it's very irregular in shape. Such pork is most likely rice pork, which can have serious consequences when consumed. If such pork is found in the market, not only should it not be purchased, but it should also be reported to the regulatory unit in time.
The above are the four types of pork that should not be purchased today.
