"Dead shrimp are sold as live shrimp, and the soup is used for the second time, claiming to be live shrimp made fresh, but it is actually prefabricated shrimp." , the above chaos emerges endlessly, shocking.
According to industry insiders, in order to reduce costs, merchants continue to "tricks", such as merchants claiming that live shrimp are freshly made, but they are actually prefabricated shrimp; What's more, the merchant uses the lobster soup for the second time; There are also merchants who count the shrimp tails after being wrapped in ice as the total weight of the shrimp for sale, and there is a shortage of catties and two. Undoubtedly, it is always the consumer who pays for these "routines" and is hurt.
"The price of lobster is 40,100 yuan to give you 4 catties, and the boss is not a cutie, impossible. The shrimp we eat now are all shrimp frozen and locked by the manufacturer last year, and you can't eat live shrimp", a merchant said bluntly.
"This one is definitely dead, I don't want to eat it when I smell it, how do you see this shrimp eat?" , consumers are miserable.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.
At the beginning of April this year, when a short video evaluation blogger Yongkang visited a restaurant in Kunshan City, he was beaten by the clerk after reporting to the relevant departments because the store advertised 100 yuan/5 catties of crayfish, which was measured to be only 3 catties and 1 tael. The incident caused heated discussions and was reported by the official media of the State Administration for Market Regulation.
This is not an isolated case. Searching for information about "ghost scale crayfish" on a short video APP, there were also videos of a large number of dead shrimp filling live shrimp and counting the soup base as the weight of lobsters. On the black cat complaint platform, there are nearly 400 complaints about the shortage of crayfish. There are also a large number of complaints about crayfish smelling and diarrhea after eating.
How to avoid pitfalls? There are different approaches for different scenarios.
Take out the product details page first, the female shrimp claws are small and meaty, the male shrimp claws are large and less meaty, and the female shrimp are more affordable with the same weight.
If you go to the vegetable market in March and April, you like a full and tender taste, choose a green shell shrimp with a soft shell and a white bottom, like a firm and chewy taste, and choose a red shell shrimp with a large shell and a hard shell.
Online shopping must see whether the 'net shrimp' is marked, which is a more scientific, accurate and realistic way to mark the weight in the crayfish market.
In order to allow consumers to avoid pitfalls to the greatest extent and buy edible crayfish with peace of mind, this year, Jingdong Supermarket took the lead in the industry to launch the "net shrimp" standard, which means the weight of pure shrimp without packaging, ice coating, and soup.
At the same time, the quality inspection team of Jingdong Supermarket will conduct flight quality inspections on merchants from time to time to ensure production safety and allow consumers to buy high-quality shrimp. At the same time, it has also launched the "Damaged Package Return" service, which allows consumers to return damaged couriers without any reason, which covers all categories of crayfish.
At the same time, in terms of price, Jingdong Supermarket also has an absolute advantage. At present, on the market, the specification is 3-5 money/only, and the price of a single box of 700g prefabricated crayfish is generally about 30 yuan, and the same specification of crayfish, after passing the 10 billion agricultural supplement of Jingdong Supermarket, the price of 3 boxes is 44 yuan, less than 15 yuan per box, which is half of the market price. Search for "crayfish" in Jingdong supermarket, and you can see many types of crayfish, and most of them contain net shrimp logos.
