This issue of the guide: these 5 kinds of meat are mostly "synthetic meat", children love to eat, but also try to buy less or not buy!
In our daily life, in addition to studying, working, sleeping, and playing, there is another very important thing that we can all do without, that is, "eating". Just as the so-called "people are iron, rice is steel, a meal is not eaten hungry panic", it can be seen how important eating is for us. Now there are too many fake and shoddy products on the market, people are invincible, the food industry is the same, many of the packaging is not written on the real, such as: "Is there really beef in the beef sauce?" "Is there really chicken in the chicken intestine?" "Is the steak pure beef?" "Do you really have fish in the fish balls?" "Is the crab fillet really made of crabs?" "Is the lamb roll really pure lamb?" And so on. In fact, many of the meat products with or without packaging on the market are not all directly processed and made of pure meat, and a large part of them are made by artificial synthesis.
Fish balls
What is synthetic meat? Synthetic meat, also known as recombinant meat, is made of minced meat and food additives that look like a whole piece of meat, which is mainly edible glue such as pectin and carrageenan. The role of this edible gum is mainly used to reshape food, condensing scattered pieces of minced meat together and making it a whole piece. So is this edible gum harmful to our health? The state has a clear standard for the type and amount of food additives, as long as it meets the relevant national standards, it is relatively safe, do not worry too much, as long as it is not eaten frequently.

The following 5 kinds of meat are mostly "synthetic meat", which is very common in our daily life, and may still be the meat that you and your children often love to eat, these 5 kinds of meat even if the child loves to eat, it is recommended that you try to buy less or not buy.
steak
The steaks sold on the market can be divided into "original cut steak" and "reconstituted steak" depending on the processing method. "Original cut steak" is a whole piece of beef (beef outer ridge, beef tenderloin) directly cut from the cow without any pretreatment, which belongs to raw meat, "original cut steak" color is bright, shiny, fat is clean white or milky white, "original cut steak" is a good steak in the real sense. Usually, the total number of bacteria inside the "original cut steak" is not high, and when we cook, we do not need to fry the steak until it is cooked thoroughly, and it can be eaten in five to eight minutes. The "original cut steak" label contains only beef, or "recombinant steak" if other ingredients or food additives appear in the ingredient list on the label.
"Reconstituted steak", also known as "spliced steak", "glue steak", refers to the synthesis of ground beef into a steak, and food additives are added during the pressing process. If you see the ingredient list on the packaging label with words glutamine transaminases (tgase), soy protein isolate, edible gum, carrageenan, etc., this steak is "recombinant steak". The ground beef we are talking about is not inferior beef, and the "recombinant steak" made with the help of synthetic technology is not an inferior steak, and everyone should look at the problem rationally. Although the food additives in the "recombinant steak" do not cause direct harm to our bodies, they may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease for people with sensitive intestines or children. In addition, most of the "recombinant steaks" are thawed, treated, and then frozen, which naturally increases the risk of bacteria and contamination in this process, and we must cook or fry the steak completely before eating the "reconstituted steak".
Therefore, for the sake of safety and health considerations, it is recommended that you buy authentic "original cut steak", although the price will be higher, but it is worth buying.

Although this kind of meat roll tastes like beef and mutton, its nutritional value is very low, and there will be many shoddy meat rolls in the supermarket.

The method is actually very simple, the fake meat roll is easy to scatter, less grain, soft and sticky, and the boundary between fat and lean meat is clear.

Therefore, Xiaobian recommends that everyone go to the hot pot restaurant or eat less of these lamb rolls, fatty meat rolls and other meat rolls, if you want to eat, it is best to buy pure lamb and pure beef at home to make their own food.
