Now people's living standards are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more ways and ideas to buy food. Some people think of affordable, simple and convenient, and some "quality", but no matter what, consumers will always be better than Not being "smart" by merchants is like a saying in the mouths of ordinary people: "No matter how smart a buyer is, no smart seller can compare to it"!

"Food is the priority of the people, and safety is the priority of food", but how many people have never taken a detour when buying food, and have never stepped on a pit when buying food. The knowledge level is also very limited. Today, I will tell you about these common pits for buying food, and see if you have stepped on it:

Expired food may exist shoddy

Since last year, the temporary food market has been very hot. If you look at the supermarkets around us, you will know that there will be temporary food counters and even temporary food stores as soon as you enter the door. Consumers who buy expiring food will inevitably buy too much food at one time before the expiration date or food problems, etc. Some media also visited the market and found that there are illegal merchants who tampered with the date and shoddy, which shows that the temporary food is shoddy. There is a source of food that cannot fully guarantee the quality. It is not impossible for food to be eaten. However, if it is just to save money and not pay attention to the safety of food, there will be problems. Therefore, consumers should pay attention when purchasing.

First, when purchasing, be sure to pay attention to whether there are traces of wiping around the date on the food packaging, whether the inkjet is uniform and bright, and whether it can be wiped with water. Generally speaking, regular dates are hot stamped, laser stamped, and steel stamped, while expired products that have been tampered with are often printed with ink.

Second, because of the popularity of expiring food, there are also businesses who will sell food that is not well-known in the non-expiring period as expiring food, such as some imported snacks, you can’t understand it anyway, so the best The way is to avoid it.

Third, don't buy too much because of cheapness, so that you can't eat it all and waste it within the shelf life.

Advertised products are not necessarily of high quality and nutritional value

Celebrity advertising food has always been very popular with some people, not because of how good the food itself is, but because a certain star has advertised and endorsed too much. In fact, the content of some food advertisements is not rigorous, such as the first two days. I just saw an advertisement for dairy products, saying that they are high calcium and low GI. On the surface, there is no problem, but high calcium and low GI are not unique to the food it promotes. Milk and dairy products are foods with high calcium content. , and it is low GI, that is to say, even if you take out any pure milk or fresh milk product, it is a food with high calcium and low GI. Or advertise a certain plant-based food, saying that it does not contain cholesterol, etc., in fact, cholesterol is only contained in animal food. Such an advertising slogan that highlights a certain "one ingredient or several ingredients that people are particularly concerned about" will make For consumers who lack professional knowledge, this product is considered to be the best thinking frame among similar products.

Buy food produced by regular manufacturers, do not buy "three-no" products, and try to avoid buying such food. If you really need it urgently, you still need to learn to distinguish and buy selectively. Fruits should still be bought whole and fresh.

There are many "traps" in packaged food labels

As long as it is pre-packaged food, the back of the food package will have the 4+1 nutrition label, nutritional composition table, name, production date, shelf life and producer information, etc., which are collectively referred to as food labels. You must learn to read the "traps" that will tell you, such as:

The name does not match the actual product If the name is soba noodles, wheat flour is the first in the actual ingredient list, soba noodles are ranked fourth, and the name is black sesame paste, and black sesame is the last in the ingredient list, etc.
