Are the cooking bags safe?
The safety of the cooking bag, in addition to the ingredientsHygiene SituationIn addition to the freshness and freshness, there is another worrying point, that is, the store owner may try to save the trouble and put it in the water to heat it with the packaging bag. Will this process make the food suffer?Plastic outer packagingpollution?
In addition to common food safety indicators such as the total number of bacterial colonies and peroxide value, we also measured an additionalplasticizer residue. In order to simulate the possible operation of the takeaway store, we put the table-top braised pork before the plasticizer test.Heating in the bagAfter that, they were sent to the laboratory; the control group Kung Pao Chicken wasfrozen statesent in.
in the regularSafety indicatorsIn terms of bacterial colonies, peroxide values, nitrites and heavy metals, 12 selected products are all within the national standard limit.Within。
It was the plasticizer residue that detected the problem: among the 12 selections, the Kung Pao Chicken cooking bag produced by Gu Yan was detected.0.58mg/kgof di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), which exceeds the national standard (“Standards for the Use of Additives for Food Contact Materials and Products” (GB9685))maximum residue（0.3mg/kg）。
Frozen Kung Pao Chicken had a plasticizer residue that exceeded the standard, and the table-top braised pork heated in a bag wasAll pass。
consideringsingle sampleIt may not be enough to explain the problem, we bought a new batch of Guyan Kung Pao Chicken Cuisine after an interval of two months – divided into blind samples.Three groupsSent to the laboratory for re-testing – three groups, all exceeded the standard! 0.6mg/kg respectively,0.44mg/kg，0.94mg/kg。
None of the six heated samples had plasticizer problems, which could have eliminated the problem of even bag heating.contaminated foodconcerns. However, someone in the refrigerated team that escorted overturned the car, and it will no longer appear in thefollow-up evaluationinside.
Are cooking bags junk food?
First, we need to determine astandard: How to define whether a cooking bag is nutritious? There is no guidance from industry standards, we can only formulate a principle according to common sense: These 11 cooking bags belong tomeat dishes, people who eat them naturally want to eat more protein while controllingCarbs and Fats, eat as little salt as possible.
We tested these recipes fornutritional quality, found that they have a very common problem: almost all of the nutrient list belongs tofalse mark。
The most serious false mark is Gu Yan’s table-top braised pork, the actual measured protein is 13g, the nominal 1g, seriousreverse false mark。
The test results show that the protein content of 11 cooking bags is10gThe sodium content is around 600mg, there will be some differences between different brands, generallyquite satisfactory. According to the recommended intake of salt, a cooking bag for lunch and dinner, it is unlikely that you will eat saltExceed the standardrisks of.
In terms of fat content, Taiwanese braised pork is significantly higher than Kung Pao chicken; carbs and calories are different from each branduneven, the highest Shuanghui Kung Pao Chicken is full of32gCarbohydrate, higher than the lowest Yurun Kung Pao Chickennearly 7 times。
Compared with instant noodles, canned meat and other fast food, it can be found that the nutritional level of the cooking package is obvious.higherYes, it has more protein; less fat, calories, and salt, plus somevegetable. Compared to freshly cooked dishes, it may be worse, but it can’t be said to bejunk food。
Which food package is delicious
Finally, we used a blind tasting to rate the taste of these cooking buns. Although they are called“Industrial Cuisine”, we choose the two most common, but different origin, differentside dish, ingredients and craftsmanship still affect themtaste。
According to the scores of our food appraisal team, the 11 cooking packs are divided into three grades:chef hahaThe Kung Pao Chicken, Gu Yan and the Taiwanese Braised Pork of the Food and Agriculture Star Chef belong to thehigh grouping, of which Gu Yan’s Taiwanese braised pork scored the highest.
Yurun and Food Nong Star Chef’s Kung Pao Chicken, Shuanghui and Steamed Taiwanese Braised Pork belong tolow grouping, among which the steamed and braised Taiwanese braised pork has the lowest score, and got the“Heavily sour”“I feel the meat is broken”, “The meat is very woody”, “The taste of the batter” and other negative reviews.
On the whole, most of the cooking buns are only considered to be“Fair enough”, including several of the high groupings, and it is naturallynot as good asof. It can retain the taste of meat, and the taste is not out of shape, even if the taste is qualified for a cooking bag.
Summarize
The test results came out. Although the cooking bag is not as terrible as many media reports, it did not achieveAll pass, not really reassuring. There are many places in the cooking bag industryTo be standardized, there is no special national standard, ingredientsFalse standard is common. I hope that our review in this issue can also urge the industry to gradually move towardsMatureand standard, serve as aFront action。
