Author:Workers Daily Time:2022.08.26

Recently, food corners have entered the vision of young people and have become their "money -saving treasures". Pork fragments, seaweed fragmented, ham broken head, tiger cake edge, steak fragmentation and other food corners, through the propaganda of low -quality food flavors and quality, have become hot -selling products for e -commerce platforms.

However, some experts reminded that some food corners may be three -free products, and there are hidden safety hazards. Is there a two -way rush between food corners and money saving youths? What do you need to pay attention to when buying food corners? "Workers' Daily" reporter investigated this.

The market size will rise steadily

Food corner materials generally refer to the fragmented materials cut and cut off when they are made of food. They are not adopted by formal products due to irregular shapes, but their processing technology and quality are consistent with the formal products.

"Buy 1 catties of positive pork for about 50 yuan, and the corners are only about 15 yuan; the whole piece of seaweed is about 25 yuan a pack of 40 grams, but it only costs about 3 yuan if you buy seaweed." Recently, Beijing's graduate students are in graduate students. Huang Nan was obsessed with the food edge of the food. "I like to use bacon, cheese fragments, and bread to make pizza, and I can also use seaweed and salmon fraud."

When the reporter browsed the e -commerce platform, it was found that the price of a brand of toast is about 25 yuan and 500 grams, while the 500 grams of bread edges are about 5.9 yuan.

"The beef in the barbecue restaurant needs to be the same when serving the table. It is inevitable that some minced meat will be cut. I sometimes buy it, and the fragment of various raw fish slices cut from the Japanese store is not good -looking. It's delicious. "Said Shu Tao, a citizen of Qingdao, Shandong Province.

The "New Consumption White Book of Consumption in the first quarter of 2022" shows that in the first quarter, the sales of snack edge -related products on Taobao Tmall were 20.3 million yuan, an increase of 1749.23%year -on -year. It is expected that the market size of the snack -edged corners will rise steadily, and monthly sales are expected to exceed 10 million yuan.

The guise of some merchant promotion

However, some businesses use the impression of consumers who think of the cheap corners of the corner of the food corner material, and "sneak attack" the consumer's wallet.

The reporter found that on a certain e -commerce platform, a pack of 500 grams of tiger leather cake is priced at about 22.2 yuan, and the price of the purchase of formal cakes is about 16 yuan and 500 grams; 500 grams, and the price of the rice cakes for its broken rice cake is 10.8 yuan 500 grams.

Some people in the industry pointed out that the seemingly cost -effective price difference will sometimes allow consumers to ignore the source of uniform packaging, non -standard quality, and the source of production that is difficult to discern. "Super cheap" and "ultra -big bags" and other seductive words are dazzling, "chop hands" to place orders. Many online stores sell bulk foods and corner materials for simple packaging, and there is no clear and formal product description.

It is understood that at present, although there are food edge materials produced and sold on the market, there are fewer types of food, and some are food edge materials with packaging but no food qualification certificate. Large packaging food or snacks. Among them, there are mixed fish dragons and difficult to guarantee quality and safety.

The industry needs to be regulated urgently

On an e -commerce platform, a pork edge corner -rangal material review area, some consumers said that the taste is OK to eat diarrhea; in the bread product review area, some consumers report that the shelf life is too short, when the goods receive the goods, when the goods receive the goods It was almost expired, and one or two days could not be eaten at all, "the corners became waste."

According to Zhu Danpeng, the food industry analyst, the food industry said that at present, my country does not have the corresponding product standards or corporate management system specifications for the food edge materials itself. Many food corners are in the gray area. Regular food manufacturers rarely provide pre -packaging for the corners alone. Some food corner materials are produced and sold for lower -level channel vendors or downstream manufacturers. It is difficult to guarantee food safety and quality.

Some people in the industry suggest that you can buy it offline and try not to buy it online, otherwise it will become a "blind box"; try to buy genuine shops as much as possible; , The shelf life and other contents are indispensable as the corners of the bulk food; some food edge materials, such as preserved meat, may be made from different batches of minced meat. It is difficult for consumers to trace their processing process. Essence

Some experts said that the food corners are accepted by the market, which has the practical significance of reducing the pressure of a person's life. It is also a specific practice of reducing the waste of catering and drinking. For the edge of food to operate the food, we cannot let the barbaric disorder. Supervisory supervision must be urged to sell food strictly in accordance with laws and regulations, and clear the fuzzy zone; strengthen the management of food manufacturers accordingly, establish a food edge -based online sales license system and product traceability system, and implement a good implementation. Food packaging management stipulates that the circulation specifications of food corner materials are controllable.
