Preamble:
Recently, a news related to Fushou snail has attracted great attention from public opinion. It turned out that recently in a spicy hot shop in Changde City, Hunan Province, after a citizen bought a bunch of snail meat, they found white filamentous parasites in the snail meat during the cooking process, and after testing, these snails were indeed Fushou snails.
In this way, it is inevitably reminiscent of some news about Fushou snails that circulated some time ago, for example, there is a processing factory in Hanshou County, Hunan Province, which was exposed to use Fushou snails to pretend to be snail meat for sale, that is to say, when we eat snail meat, it is very likely that we are eating Fushou snail meat, and the risks involved, I believe everyone has a certain understanding.
1. What's going on with Fushou snail meat?
This incident that was exposed to the use of Fushou snails to pretend to be snail meat for sale is actually not a case, and in real life, similar incidents are not uncommon, that is, not every time we eat snail meat is real.
When it comes to the snail, in fact, its harm is still quite large, because the snail belongs to an alien species, once it enters our wild waters, it will cause some damage to the local ecological environment, and its reproductive ability is also very strong, if the number is too much, it will cause a certain threat to the local aquatic life.
Moreover, there are some parasites that are harmful to human health in the body of Fushou snails, such as Angiostrongyloides cantonensis, and once we do not cook it when we eat Fushou snails, these parasites are likely to enter our bodies and cause harm to our health.
2. How can I make sure that I am eating real snail meat?
So, for the majority of consumer friends, in the face of such a situation, how should they ensure that they are eating real snail meat?
In fact, first of all, when we buy snail meat, we must choose some formal channels, such as some supermarkets and shopping malls with a good reputation, because in this way, we can ensure the quality and safety of snail meat from the source.
Secondly, when we buy, we must also carefully observe that the authentic snail meat is black, while the Fushou snail is white, so only through such observation can we distinguish them.
In addition, when we cook it ourselves, we must cook the snail meat, because only by high temperature treatment can the parasites in it be completely killed.
Epilogue:
Therefore, through this incident, we can actually see that for us consumers, protecting their legitimate rights and interests is not a simple matter, and only through our own eyes can we better safeguard our own interests.
At the same time, it is also hoped that the relevant regulatory authorities can increase the supervision of this aspect, once a similar problem is found, it is also necessary to severely punish it, and not to let some illegal businesses break the law, but also to be able to go unpunished, in this regard, I also hope that we can play their own role in public opinion supervision, and jointly maintain our food safety.
