I am Wei Dad, an ordinary parent in Hangzhou who uses detection methods to find invisible harm around me, welcome to pay attention to me.
Some time ago, I just discussed the real and fake cod, this time I will talk about salmon! There are similar problems in the salmon market, the most common is to use rainbow trout, salmon cannabis to impersonate real salmon, that is, Atlantic salmon, CCTV has reported that 1/3 of the salmon in the Chinese market are from Qinghai.

In fact, Qinghai culture is not Atlantic salmon, but freshwater rainbow trout, from a biological point of view, rainbow trout is equivalent to the Atlantic salmon's distant relatives, and cannabis salmon is considered a close relative, but the above report on "rainbow trout" is not mentioned, from the beginning to the end is said to be "salmon"
There are few species of Atlantic salmon parasites in marine aquaculture, the osmotic pressure of seawater is high, the environment in the human body is often not suitable for parasitism, and Atlantic salmon are frozen, even if there are parasites are also frozen to death, so raw food is safe. Freshwater culture of rainbow trout is different, the human environment can meet the growth conditions of freshwater fish parasites, even if the growth environment of rainbow trout is strictly controlled, it is difficult to eliminate the problem of parasites.
Moreover, most rainbow trout are not frozen, and are directly chilled and transported to the point of sale (chilled and frozen are two different things), and raw food is risky.
Rainbow trout must be cooked before eating
The U.S. FDA has clearly stipulated that "rainbow trout" cannot be called "salmon"

A little panicked, is the salmon we eat really rainbow trout? Hurry to the supermarket Japanese food store to buy "samples"
Testing laboratory: Zhejiang Academy of Inspection and Quarantine Science and Technology
Test: DNA
Sample fee 543 yuan
The test fee is 7200 yuan
The results of the appraisal are good, all Atlantic salmon
My heart has just fallen, the news that "rainbow trout" has officially joined the salmon family has come, and on August 10, 2018, the salmon branch of the China Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association was established, and the group standard of "raw salmon" was released on the same day
▲ Screenshot of the group standard of "Raw Salmon"
The core content of the standard is that rainbow trout is classified as "salmon". From now on, it can no longer be said that it is a counterfeit, it does not have to pretend to be Atlantic salmon, that is to say, the salmon you eat in the future may be domestic rainbow trout, this wave of platform operation, I serve!
The so-called group standard is neither a national standard nor an industry standard, but is set by social organizations and several enterprises themselves
Look closely at the enterprise members of this association, led by a Qinghai ecological aquaculture co., LTD., yes, it is the Qinghai farm in the microblog at the beginning of the article, the standard is also jointly formulated by these enterprises that basically sell rainbow trout, which is simply a "athlete" and a "referee", even if you are a "referee", you must abide by your own rules, and the group standard should be announced for 15 days according to the requirements
▲ The association's own standard-setting management measures stipulate
The standard should be announced to the public for fifteen days, and your standard is actually publicized for 3 days, just 3 days!!
▲ Announced on August 6, it will be closed on 9th
In addition, the drafting unit should include at least two scientific research institutes
The drafting of the standard includes at least two scientific research institutes, and this standard was drafted by the China Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association in conjunction with 13 enterprises, and did not involve scientific research institutes. Punch yourself in the face, it's really commendable, to be honest I've been doing testing for so many years, I've never seen such an ugly look!!
I suggest not to do two without rest, and then revise this so-called standard, exclude the Atlantic salmon from the salmon, eat the appearance can be a little more ugly, so the monkey urgent release, but also pull N people to stand, how to look like the product of interest-driven, rainbow trout price is low, than the Atlantic salmon do not know how much cheaper, now good, the emperor to the civilians into the eight flags, given a noble status, the value will naturally rise.
If in the future, merchants will use rainbow trout instead of Atlantic salmon, will you not worry about fewer and fewer people eating sashimi? You don't worry about the industry being ruined by you? Don't you worry about becoming a sinner in the history of aquatic development? In order to obtain more benefits, completely disregard the health of the people, and hurry to rationalize your bottom line by means of profit???
Focus on criticizing the aquatic product supplier of box M fresh S, which is also one of the 13 companies involved in drafting the standard, Shanghai He Yu Frozen Food Co., Ltd., on the self-operated flagship store of Beijing D, the Chinese name of the product is clearly written as "rainbow trout", but the detail page is marked with the Latin scientific name of the Atlantic salmon.

The way of eating actually reads: after thawing, open the bag to eat, even if you really want to eat rainbow trout, it is not recommended to open the bag to eat, or cooked reliable, have seen our cod review knows, Latin scientific name is the only exclusive ID of various fish, all kinds of chaotic Chinese names are to confuse the public, in order to sell cheap fish at a higher price, the Latin scientific name is the last bottom line on the commodity logo
Unfortunately, it has been ruthlessly trampled by these merchants, and everyone must want to know, in addition to identifying DNA, can you directly distinguish between the two kinds of fish from the appearance, not to mention, they are really very similar to each other.
The color of rainbow trout meat is lighter than that of Atlantic salmon, but the merchants of Satoshi (jiao) Ming (hua) have long thought of this, they will add pigment components such as keratin to the feed, dye the original color of rainbow trout as "salmon color", so that the color, aroma and taste are compared with Atlantic salmon, there is no difference, such rainbow trout sashimi can be faked and real, and after a big meal, there will be many customers who praise its "good quality and low price".
▲ Japanese food store real shooting
alas... After such a standard came out, the merchant used rainbow trout sashimi instead of salmon sashimi, it was more rational, oh no, what I said was wrong, how can I say so people, rainbow trout is now "genuine" salmon Ah, it seems that after the Japanese food store to so much salmon "boss, to a salmon sashimi! "Not bad money, but don't give rainbow trout!" "Please, please give me the kind of salmon I used to have"...
The store can not guarantee, then buy their own always reliable bar, oh, sorry, and pour you cold water, buy real salmon all by luck, the selection may also need Liang Jingru's "courage", especially into the fish, after the stab, a plate of two plates is more difficult to distinguish

If I have to suggest, then look at the origin, the current main importers of Chinese Atlantic salmon are Denmark, Chile, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Norway domestic production? Weigh it up for yourself.

In the end, I have to say that the taste and nutrition of rainbow trout are good, and rainbow trout itself is not a bad thing, what is broken is the human heart
