On September 8th, a video of "Pressing Pork Sex Transparent Silk" caused heated discussion among netizens. Experts say that these silk is muscle fibers in the meat and can be eaten normally.

The video shows that a netizen in Yunnan bought a 100 yuan thin pork from the market. When she returned home to cook, she pressed the pork surface hard and found that many translucent filaments appeared on the cut surface. These silk -shaped objects will not move after they appear. The netizen issued a message: "Can you still eat meat?" There are also netizens commented that this may be the frozen meat, which is squeezed out of ice.

On the morning of the 11th, Jimu Journalists contacted the video publisher and did not get a response. In this regard, a vendor selling pork told Jimu Journalists that from the perspective of video content, these filaments are muscle fibers in the meat, and they will be there if they press hard. Generally, there are more lean meat and can be eaten normally.

A pig farm owner introduced to reporters that this situation is indeed relatively rare, because all he saw was freshly slaughtered pork. During the process of pressing and tearing, this kind of silk was hardly seen.

Dr. Gu, director of the Nutrition Department of Qingdao Municipal Hospital, said in an interview with the media that this translucent silk is muscle fiber in muscle, and this muscle fiber is not obvious in fresh pork. However, after a period of time, the muscle fibers will become thicker, forming a translucent silk, which is normal and can be eaten.
