315 exposed 8 kinds of meat, every bite may be "poisonous", tell the family not to eat it again

Every year, 315 is a "big test for consumers" to protect their rights, and food safety has always been the most eye-catching "finale" in this exam. When night falls, the spotlight of CCTV's 315 party is lit up, and those "cats" hidden in the food corner are like a Pandora's box that has been lifted, which makes countless families worry. In particular, meat, as a "regular customer" on the table, should be a source of nutrition, but it has become a "tool" for unscrupulous businesses to seek personal gain, and has been labeled as a "problem food".

In the "minefield" of food, meat can be called the "hardest hit area". Imagine that in the vegetable market, the bright red mutton hangs on the stalls, looking very fresh; In the freezer of the supermarket, beautifully packaged steaks lie quietly; In the streets and alleys, the aroma of starch sausage is overflowing...... These seemingly ordinary meat foods may have hidden crises behind them. In order to pursue profits, unscrupulous businesses have made a big fuss in all aspects of breeding and processing, making these meats, which are supposed to nourish the body, become "invisible killers" that are harmful to health.

Meat: Danger lurks around

Clenbuterol lamb: an invisible health threat

The 315 party in 2021 made "Clenbuterol Mutton" become a "street rat" that everyone shouted and beat overnight. "Clenbuterol", a chemical made up of ractopamine and clenbuterol, is like "magic" for livestock, which can make their lean meat ratio increase dramatically. Driven by profits, some black-hearted merchants secretly use it in the breeding process in disregard of the mainland's explicit prohibition on adding clenbuterol.

These lambs with the addition of clenbuterol are indistinguishable from normal mutton in appearance, and ordinary consumers cannot distinguish them at all. However, when people eat these lambs, it is like eating a "time bomb". Long-term consumption, clenbuterol will "make waves" in the human body, interfere with normal metabolism, cause headaches, nausea, palpitations and other poisoning symptoms, cause serious damage to the digestive system, nervous system and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, and gradually collapse the health defense line.

Borax pork: the conspiracy behind "diligent".

From 2023 to 2024, borax pork has been on the "black list" of 315 several times. Borax, this industrial anticorrosive raw material, the chemical name is sodium tetraborate, which is not small toxic and easily soluble in water. Some unscrupulous merchants have found that applying borax to the surface of pork not only keeps the pork fresh and fresh, but also improves the taste after cooking. As a result, the vendors in the vegetable market who seem to be "diligent" and wipe the pork with rags from time to time are likely to be engaged in a "deception" operation.

The dangers of borax should not be underestimated, and just 1 gram of ingestion can poison a person. After entering the human body, the boric acid it produces is difficult to excrete, and will continue to accumulate in the body, eventually causing accumulated poisoning, causing damage to organs and even leading to failure, which seriously threatens life and health.

Synthetic steak: the price behind cheapness

Have you ever been overjoyed to get a low-priced "raw cut steak"? Be careful, you may have fallen into the trap of the merchant. The so-called "synthetic steak" is the use of carrageenan to "piece" the beef crumbs into whole pieces, and also adds an excessive amount of water-retaining agents, thickeners and other ingredients. Since 2020, the problem of synthetic steak has been frequently investigated.

Although these synthetic steaks are inexpensive, if consumed for a long time, the additives in them will "wreak havoc" in the human body, cause gastrointestinal lesions, induce hepatitis, cholecystitis and other diseases, and will also affect digestive function, damage the kidneys, and make you pay the price of health for a momentary "cheap".

Starchy sausages: a hidden danger of street deliciousness

At the entrance of primary and secondary schools, scenic spots, and pedestrian streets, the aroma of starch sausage always makes people can't help but stop. However, the exposure of 315 in 2024 "bone mud starch sausage" has cast a shadow on this street delicacy. In order to reduce costs, some unscrupulous businesses use animal bone puree as a thickener and filler in the production process of starch sausage.

These bone muds not only have low nutritional value, but also may have problems such as heavy metal residues and antibiotic contamination. Long-term consumption can lead to chronic poisoning, digestive disorders, malnutrition, and even damage to the kidneys, so that people who love starchy sausages unknowingly damage their health.

Grooved pork and plum cabbage buckle meat: the deadly trap behind the deliciousness

In 2024, CCTV 315 Gala will focus on exposing the incident of trough meat pretending to be pork belly to make plum vegetable button meat, which is still scary. Trough meat is an inedible part of pork and contains a lot of lymph nodes, lipomas, and veterinary drug residues.

As a popular home-cooked dish, plum cabbage button pork is consumed in great daily quantities. However, if you eat plum cabbage button meat made with trough meat for a long time, it is equivalent to planting a "health bomb" in the body, which will increase the risk of contracting diseases, trigger immune system lesions, and even have the possibility of causing cancer.

Aquatic meat: the "poison" in seafood

Dichlorvos sea cucumber: A delicacy in a highly poisonous disguise

At the 315 evening party in 2020, the news of "dichlorvos raising sea cucumbers" shocked the whole country. Dichlorvos, a highly toxic pesticide that is supposed to be kept away from the food sector, is used by some sea cucumber farmers to clean up the farming area. The use of dichlorvos in food production is explicitly prohibited on the mainland, but these farmers do not care about the lasting harm to humans and the environment for their own selfish interests.

These sea cucumbers, which are cultivated with dichlorvos, absorb a large amount of toxic components in their bodies and become "poisonous sea cucumbers". Dichlorvos is extremely toxic, and very low doses can cause irreversible damage to many organs and tissues in the human body, and it is also listed as a "Class 2B carcinogen" by the WHO.

Water-retaining shrimp: the health hazards of "water injection".

The problem of water-retaining shrimp exposed at the 315 party in 2025 has unveiled another "shady curtain" in the seafood market. Some merchants peel the shell of the shrimp and soak it in compound phosphate to allow the shrimp to absorb a lot of water and gain weight. According to the regulations, the use of compound phosphate is limited to less than 5 parts per thousand, but in order to obtain more profits, many merchants add it in violation of regulations.

Long-term consumption of these water-retaining shrimp can lead to cardiovascular diseases, digestive system lesions, disrupt the body's calcium and phosphorus balance, and cause calcium loss, which has a particularly serious impact on children and pregnant women.

Poultry: The "poisonous" hand in the chicken feet

Hydrogen peroxide, a strong oxidant, is used in suitable fields, but it is used by some unscrupulous merchants to soak chicken feet in an attempt to achieve the purpose of bleaching, brightening, sterilizing and extending the shelf life. However, hydrogen peroxide may contain harmful ingredients such as heavy metals, and China has long banned its use in the food processing industry.

In 2022, the problem of hydrogen peroxide blister chicken feet was exposed by the 315 special report, and the ban was reaffirmed again in 2025 by the new national regulations. However, there are still unscrupulous businesses who commit crimes against the wind, and long-term consumption of such chicken feet will damage the digestive tract, resulting in the accumulation of heavy metals in the body, causing premature aging, and even the risk of cancer, so that diners who love chicken feet cannot prevent it.

When we go into the wet market, supermarket, or buy snacks on the street, these problematic meats that have been exposed by 315 may be hidden on the shelves and in front of the stalls. Every purchase is like a "game" with unscrupulous merchants. For the health of yourself and your family, when buying meat products, you must pay more attention to it, carefully discern it, and don't let these "problem meats" end up on your own table. After all, health does not tolerate sloppiness, and food safety requires us to be vigilant at all times.
