The source of meat in steamed bread

Steamed buns are a kind of food deeply loved by Beijing people, but some of them may contain "poisonous stuffing". Recently, Mr. Ma, who is engaged in steamed stuffed bun business, told reporters that some steamed stuffed bun shops in this city are using pig's "blood neck meat" as stuffing. This kind of meat is located in the pig's neck and contains thyroid gland and lymph nodes. If you eat too much, you will have poisoning symptoms. The reporter conducted a full investigation on this. Investigate the wholesale market selling 500 Jin of blood neck meat at one time. In mid-April, the reporter saw in the meat hall of Beijing Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market that almost every pork vendor was selling blood neck meat, and the price per 500 g was between 2.4 yuan and 3 yuan. Normal pork prices should be as low as 500g 5 yuan. The reporter saw that these bloody necks were pale and full of foul smell, and there was obvious graininess on the skin. Mr. Ma, who used to run a steamed stuffed bun shop, told reporters that those particles were lymph nodes and lipomas on the neck of pigs. When chatting with reporters, a stall owner who was shouting bloody neck meat said, "There are some small markets that come to me for wholesale, and some people who sell steamed buns and open restaurants come here to buy them. Just made a big deal yesterday. A boss who specializes in quick-frozen jiaozi in supermarkets asked me for 500 kilograms of blood and neck meat. " After repeated inquiries by reporters, several stall owners confirmed that the bloody neck meat they sold was imported from the "private slaughter". Witnessing the sale of "poison stuffing" steamed stuffed bun shop is an old customer with bloody neck meat stuffing. In addition to the first-class wholesale market like Xinfadi, the reporter also saw the sale of blood and neck meat in some secondary wholesale markets. In the wholesale market of agricultural and sideline products in Xiaoying, Huangcun, Daxing District, the price of bloody neck meat is 500g 3.5 yuan. Just as the reporter was talking to the stall owner, a middle-aged woman bought 25 kilograms of bloody neck meat at once and asked the waiter to carry the meat into a van. The reporter followed the car to a butcher shop on the north side of Mazhuqiao Commercial Street in Tongzhou District. Seeing that the middle-aged woman had finished unloading the goods, the reporter walked into the store. The reporter saw that middle-aged women were putting the bloody neck meat they had just bought into the meat mixer. A large amount of white meat-free fat stuffing is slowly squeezed out from the stuffing outlet of the meat mixer. These minced meats cost 500g 3.8 yuan. At this time, a man walked into the store and bought 15 kg of bloody neck meat. The middle-aged woman told the reporter that this man is her old customer and is making breakfast nearby. Subsequently, the reporter followed the man and left the butcher shop. I saw this man carrying a black plastic bag with blood and meat on his neck and turning into another street. I walked about a kilometer and entered a steamed stuffed bun shop. This steamed stuffed bun shop sells 5 yuan 500g steamed buns. If the cost of using good meat doubles, it's not just this steamed stuffed bun shop near Mazhuqiao Commercial Street in Tongzhou District that uses bloody neck meat as meat stuffing. The reporter saw in the Xiaolongbao shop in Caiyu Town, Daxing District that the workers were making Xiaolongbao mixed with blood and neck meat. Boss Li of this steamed stuffed bun shop in Daxing District knows the reporter's informant. Seeing that it was brought by an acquaintance, he confidently told reporters about his business experience. Boss Li calculated this account for the reporter: the cost of each 500g steamed stuffed bun is 5-6 yuan, excluding labor, water and electricity, store rent and other expenses. The cost must be reduced within 4 yuan, and it is impossible to exchange good quality meat for the most "valuable" meat stuffing. Only by mixing a little lean meat with leftovers such as blood neck meat and adding stuffing can you make a profit. "Otherwise, at the current market price, the cost of buns will nearly double for every 500 grams of pork in 5 yuan on the front legs and rear buttocks!" Boss Li said. Pork price list Xinfadi wholesale market: blood neck meat is 2.4 to 3 yuan, and other pork is the lowest per 500g; Small market (secondary market): blood neck meat is 3.2 to 3.7 yuan, and other pork is the lowest per 500g; 5.5 yuan, a private slaughter source of blood and neck meat, is directly listed; From this steamed stuffed bun shop in Caiyu Town, Daxing District, the reporter also learned about the source of their bloody neck meat. In the home of an individual pig farmer in Caiyu Town, the reporter saw that the butcher slaughtered the pig and cut off the pig head before he began to deal with the "blood neck". According to the butcher, these bloody necks will be sent directly to some markets in Daxing for sale, and sometimes restaurants will buy them directly from him. The reporter pointed to the granular lymph nodes on the blood neck and asked the butcher, "Can these things be eaten?" The butcher cut off a bloody neck with a knife and said, "What's the matter? Mix the stuffing and eat it again. " The news reminds that the steamed stuffed bun with blood in its neck is sticky. Experienced people told reporters that if you want to tell whether the steamed stuffed bun is made of bloody neck meat, you can take a bite or stir it. Take a bite of steamed stuffed bun, and if you feel that the consistency of the meat stuffing is beyond the normal taste, it is most likely blood neck meat stuffing. In addition, raw stuffing can be stirred with chopsticks. If the stuffing is too sticky, it may also be made of bloody neck meat. It is understood that blood neck meat is located in the neck of animals and contains a large number of lymph nodes and lipomas. At the same time, the thyroid gland is also located in the throat and trachea of the animal neck. You will see some gray or dark red meat balls on the bloody neck meat, which are lymph nodes. Lymph nodes can filter, kill and devour pathogenic microorganisms and viruses, but at the same time, they also accumulate a large number of germs and viruses, which are not easy to kill after a short period of heating, so they are prone to infection after eating. The main component of thyroid gland is thyroid hormone, which is stable and heat-resistant, and will only be destroyed if it is heated above 600℃. After people eat thyroid gland, a large amount of thyroid hormone will disturb the normal endocrine activities of human body and cause a series of mental and neurological symptoms. At the same time, the normal substance metabolism of human body will also be disturbed, resulting in various poisoning symptoms, which can lead to death in severe cases. The official statement is to strictly investigate illegal blood and neck meat. This morning, the reporter learned from the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision that blood neck meat needs to be processed to some extent when slaughtered because it is located in the most dense lymph nodes on pigs. The quality supervision department strictly prohibits the blood and neck meat without resection of lipoma and lymph nodes from entering the market and inspecting it. The sales department of Jingyu Dahongmen Meat Food Co., Ltd. (formerly Dahongmen Meat Joint Factory) is difficult for individuals to clean up. Mr. Guo told reporters: "Our company has very strict processing requirements for raw pork. We must remove all lymph nodes and lipomas from pigs. It's hard for ordinary people to clean up. Moreover, we never only sell blood and neck meat. "
