Affordable self-service barbecue, what kind of meat is it?
The price is ridiculously low, and the wholesale price is as low as six or seven yuan a catty!
The reporter investigated in-depth and found that the beef and mutton in some affordable self-service barbecue restaurants were mixed with duck and chicken!
In order to verify this finding, the reporter sampled beef and mutton slices from five self-service barbecue restaurants and sent them to the Tianjin Institute of Food Safety Testing Technology for testing.
As a result, some samples labeled as "beef" were actually found to contain chicken ingredients!
In a lamb sample, both chicken and duck ingredients were detected.
Wholesalers admit that many self-service barbecue restaurants buy from them.
They offer seemingly high-quality meats at low prices, but in reality, these meats may not be as "pure" as you think.
Seeing this, netizens couldn't hold back, let alone barbecue, last time I drank pumpkin soup with my friends in the barbecue restaurant and thought it was delicious, I wanted to have another bowl, my friend asked the little brother who cut the meat to us if this was redeemed, and the little brother said what kind of viscous agent was it.
Eat, eat one without squeaking
So now I don't dare to eat barbecue outside, buy pork belly lettuce and cook it at home
74 One person's buffet don't ask if the beef is real, the raw beef costs more than 30 pounds
This is too normal, the meat rolls you buy in the supermarket now, several of them are pure meat, all beef and duck are mixed, and the buffet is the hardest hit area
Then someone asked, how to judge whether the meat in a barbecue restaurant is pure or not?
To determine whether the meat in a rotisserie is pure, you can distinguish it by the following methods:
- Color identification: The surface of fresh mutton is smooth and shiny, the muscle section is shiny and reddish, and the fat is light milky white. If the flesh is gray or grayish-green, and the fat is stained gray, it may not be fresh or has quality problems.
- Identification of the tissue status of the meat: the muscle cut of the roasted lamb should be tight and regular, the fat should be smooth and crispy, if the meat is loose and inelastic, it may be a sign of inferior quality or adulteration with other meats.
- Odor identification: Fresh mutton should have a normal meat aroma before roasting, and should have the aroma of roasted meat and a little mutton smell after roasting, and there should be no other odor. If there is a faint or even strong fishy smell, pay attention to the freshness of the meat.
- Chew identification: When the barbecue is eaten, the meat should be tender, smooth and easy to chew, if the meat is old or difficult to chew, it may not be pure lamb.
- Observe the roasting process: If you have the opportunity, you can observe the process of making the roast. Pay attention to the change in the quality of the meat during the roasting process, the meat will have a distinct beard and burnt taste, and it is difficult to bite and crush when chewed.
- Watch out for skewers: Some unscrupulous businesses may use reused bamboo skewers, and if there are signs of burning, it may indicate that they have been used repeatedly, which may also indicate that the rotisserie has problems with hygiene or the quality of the ingredients.
By using the above methods comprehensively, you can judge whether the meat in the barbecue restaurant is pure to a certain extent. However, the most reliable way to eat is to eat at a reputable rotisserie with good hygiene standards.
So, the next time you walk into an affordable self-service barbecue restaurant, you might as well keep an eye on it. While enjoying the food, don't forget to pay attention to the safety and health of the food. After all, it's important to eat happily, but it's even more important to eat safely!
