Modern people live a fast-paced life, and because supermarkets have complete items and clean environments, most people choose to complete one-stop shopping in supermarkets, from daily necessities to food. But did you know that there are some foods in supermarkets that you should never buy?
1. Ground Meat
When we make dumplings or meatballs, we need a lot of ground meat. In the past, we had to wield two knives to chop and slaughter a piece of meat. Now, supermarkets have saved us a lot of effort by providing pre-chopped ground meat. We think that ground meat is made from good quality meat, but in fact, it is made from various kinds of minced meat mixed together. Not to mention that the main ingredient is fat, just the hygiene conditions will make you feel dirty. Because during the grinding process, the minced meat is not only mixed with dust from the processing factory, but also pig hair, etc. However, when they are mixed together and crushed, we cannot distinguish them when we buy them.
2. Antibiotic Beef
Beef is definitely our favorite meat. Eating a beef burger is so satisfying. However, unfortunately, we learned from the US Department of Agriculture report in 2010 that cows are fed a large amount of antibiotics and deworming drugs during the breeding process. If these drugs remain in the cow's body and are not completely decomposed, they will enter our bodies when we consume the beef, causing damage to the kidneys and nervous system.
3. Oatmeal with Heavy Metals
In recent years, oatmeal has become a "health food" advocated by nutritionists. But the instant oatmeal sold in supermarkets is not only useless to us, but harmful. Because instant oatmeal is generally sweet, so it inevitably contains high calories. If it were just that, it would be fine, but investigations have shown that the high-fructose corn syrup that makes instant oatmeal taste sweet contains excessive amounts of the heavy metal mercury.
4. Frozen Shrimp
Do you think you really bought fresh shrimp? In fact, you don't even know that it has been in the freezer for almost half a year. It has undergone various treatments with chemicals and antibiotics before freezing, so it will not rot at all. It is like a specimen. Even if it is left for a year, it will still look the same. The quarantine department has also found pesticide residues on frozen shrimp, making it completely unclean.
5. Packaged Fresh Pork
Is there a problem with the pork in the supermarket? Maybe, and the problem is not small. According to a survey conducted by Iowa State University in the United States in 2012, because pigs are fed too many antibiotics during breeding, antibiotic residue is a serious problem, which leads to the increasing frequency of superbug MRSA. The mortality rate of this superbug has exceeded that of AIDS.
6. Canned Food
Canned products have always been considered the most hygienic food, after all, the best sterilization method used in canned food is the pasteurization. However, the packaging of canned products has become the biggest problem because the packaging contains bisphenol A, which dissolves into the food. You may not be familiar with bisphenol A, but let me tell you, if you consume it, it will cause abnormal development of the reproductive system, disorder of insulin secretion leading to diabetes, and even cardiovascular diseases. So it's better to avoid it.
7. Roasted Turkey
The must-have for Christmas is also unfortunately on the list. According to researchers, when they conducted a sampling survey of roasted turkeys, they were shocked because almost 80% of them were soaked in MRSA-like bacteria, and the bacterial content was extremely high. This is one of the reasons why hospitals are overcrowded after Christmas.
8. Packaged Cut Fruits of "Suspicious Origin"
Packaged cut fruits can be bought as much as needed, which seems very convenient for consumers, but the origin is suspicious. Supermarkets have a large number of fruits that cannot be sold due to appearance or spoilage issues every day. The usual practice is to divide them and sell them in packages.
9. Refrigerated Fruits
Maybe refrigerated fruits are no different from fresh fruits, but the results of the spot check investigation are not good, because they are moldy! Don't think that it won't spoil when stored at low temperatures. In fact, it has bred a lot of bacteria. If people consume it without knowing it, it can easily cause food poisoning.
After reading this, do you feel that you have bought all these foods? So, for the sake of your own and your family's health, remember not to buy these foods easily and let yourself and your family eat healthily.
