Don't eat such a hairtail!
Although the hairtail fish is rich in nutrition, it is impossible to stand up to some black-hearted businessmen who will make huge profits! When choosing hairtail, we must be cautious, if we encounter a hairtail that blooms as soon as it is fried, do not eat it! Because the flowering of hairtail is very likely to be related to formaldehyde invasion.
There have been media reports that when a lady in Zhuhai was cooking the hairtail fish she bought, the meat not only "creaked". After entering the oil pot, it was rolled or exploded, and the scene was called a lively ......
Ms. Bai in the video
After frying the hairtail you bought,
But I found out that it was like this↓↓
Previously, the People's Daily also revealed the truth about this hairtail
01
Why is this happening?
According to expert analysis, the hairtail fish has been fried and burst into "flowering", which is related to soaking formaldehyde. This is because formaldehyde can denature the protein of the hairtail, and the fish meat will lose its elasticity and tension and become brittle.
When formaldehyde is treated, the concentration of formaldehyde in contact with the surface of the fish body is different, and the degree of denaturation is also different.

What's even more hateful is that even if you take these hairtail fish to test, you can't detect them. Because formaldehyde has volatilized and combined with protein!
02
Why is formaldehyde added to hairtail fish?
Formaldehyde mainly plays the role of preservation, color enhancement and antiseptic. Adding to aquatic products can extend the shelf life of aquatic products, and can also make it bright and more elastic. However, formaldehyde is an illegal additive and belongs to the national second-class toxic substance.
03
What is the harm of formaldehyde to the human body?
Formaldehyde is a commonly used preservative in the industry, because it has an irritating effect on the skin and mucous membranes, damages the brain and nervous system and causes poisoning, and may also lead to cancer, which seriously threatens health.
According to the relevant regulations, the formaldehyde content cannot exceed 10 milligrams per kilogram, if it exceeds this content, it means that its formaldehyde is artificially added.
04
How to tell if a hairtail has been soaked in formaldehyde?
Normal hairtail fish has poor elasticity, and there will be fingerprints when pressed by hand, and the scales can be rubbed off;
The soaked hairtail meat is very porcelain, the elasticity is very good, and the flesh cannot be bent.
In addition, fish with formaldehyde also has a pungent taste.
We all say that the decoration of the home is prone to formaldehyde hidden dangers, but the application range of formaldehyde is very wide, many foods also contain formaldehyde, in order to prevent corrosion and increase weight, squid, beef shutters, duck intestines and other aquatic food and aquatic products, the most likely to become the addition of illegal traders, with formaldehyde treatment of aquatic products such as squid, can double the weight, so as to make more profits.
Therefore, such a hairtail must not be eaten!
