Takeout is quietly change the way of life of three generations in China.
Whether you're a student, a white-collar, or a retired elderly, take-out can make life easier. You don't have to cook, do the dishes, clean up the kitchen, what you want to eat, just turn on your cell phone and make a list. The food delivery boy will soon deliver the food to your hand.
But are those delicacies that look attractive in color just like their appearance?
Following yesterday's revelations about the hotel industry, today's pear video, entitled "the Secret of cheap takeout Express bags," brought food safety issues to the public's eyes.
01 restaurants that can't cook, sell hundreds of orders a day.
A businessman who doesn't know how to cook can still sell hundreds of orders a day on the takeout platform, and three people can't get over it.
And it can be praised by countless diners. Does that sound right?
But in this age, there are too many absurd things. Only you can't think about it, you can't do it.
You can never imagine how the takeout you eat every day is made.
Many friends said after watching the video: only know the take-out dirty, but did not expect so disgusting!
In the past, many unscrupulous restaurants and takeout businesses might have been dirty housemakers, roaches and rats, or workers who handled ingredients directly with their hands and even feet.
But in the video released today, the editor's values have been refreshed again-it turns out that the dishes of many takeout merchants are not made by themselves at all! Just buy a cheap fast food bag, pour it over your meal and put it in a microwave oven.
It is estimated that the whole process will not exceed 5 minutes.
"I don't know how to cook myself," says even a businessman who uses a fast-food bag. It seems to want to open a restaurant is also very simple, do not have to find the chopper, not to invite a chef, a pot of rice can hold up a shop.
The picture is from a video screenshot, the same as below
It was reported that such a restaurant, which depended solely on a fast-food bag, was too busy for three people when the order volume was large-"We sold more than 3000 yuan a day."
The video also clearly pointed out that such a shopkeeper is to do Meituan, ele.me and other large takeout platform business.
A lot of people might think that if these takeout fast food parcels are made in a clean way, is it better than the food made by the merchants themselves in their own dirty kitchens?
But the video then exposed the truth, just let a person pour a breath of air-conditioning.
The process of making these takeout fast food bags is comparable to "picking up rubbish in the garbage heap."
"our meat, a bargain, is far from the market price." A worker is using a shovel to pull out bone chops from a pool of blood in a manufacturer of takeout fast food bags.
When the photographer asked if the meat could be preserved for a few months, the staff said directly that the ribs had been in place for almost a year.
Our meat was so cheap that we bought a dozen tons of it and sold it to takeout merchants-"just to be cheap, to buy more."
The manufacturer of cooking bags in Hefei, Anhui Province, is called Lugang Xiang, Baidu Encyclopedia said.
The enterprise is mainly engaged in the production, R & D, sales, and business coverage of more than 20 provinces such as Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Shanxi, Henan and so on, with Anhui as the center. Radiation of the country's frozen food package sales channels.

According to the brief introduction, the scale of the enterprise and its households are about to spread to the whole country, but unscrupulous merchants have not known how long they have expired or even did not indicate the source of meat, tons of incoming goods, and then processed into food package to sell to all parts of the country.
In the expose video, the cameraman also found the manager, who said directly: "We have a cold storage here, the storehouse is minus seven or eight degrees, okay? that's it."
In this library, the summer comes in sweaty, just like the sauna. A lot of raw materials are bought too much, less than the shelf life will be broken. "
So guess, in such a factory, those materials that are not properly preserved and are broken before they reach the shelf life, where did they finally go?
In this lens, more ironically, on the Baidu Encyclopedia page of Laogang incense, it says that its advantage is that it has invested in the introduction of the leading domestic pasteurization standard production line and the Dutch Komai quick-freezing production line. About 400 square meters of finished refrigerators have been built.
"We inject soy protein into the beef to increase its weight," said Gangangxiang's staff in the ingredients salting workshop. "the beef can't be eaten at all."
Wash the ribs that have been placed in the blood repeatedly for a year and add some big bones to them, and even their own staff say: "the ribs, only the bones have no flesh."
With long-term freezing of meat that has produced odour, unscrupulous merchants seem to have a permanent way to "scrap" all ingredients.
In the Gangangxiang production workshop, raw materials are thawed and preserved directly, meat slices dropped on the ground are picked up and pickled directly, while the sauce used for pickling foods is mixed by the staff directly with their hands.
The final scene of the ingredients salting workshop is that workers are using their hands and buckets to pull out some food ingredients.
Forgive the editor really can't see what kind of food it is, but the familiar yellow and texture, like the daily human waste produced in the toilet.
When you get to the roasting shop, the dishes are easier to cook-put in a few large pots and all the ingredients are fried: "just deep fry, deep fry for 3 minutes."
Finally, the food entered the packing shop, and the staff packed it and sold it to restaurants all over the country.
"none of our food is fried, it's very troublesome to fry it, it's all fried once, and we don't want to eat it ourselves," said the staff member of Sokangxiang. Yu-Shiang Shredded Pork here produces only 50 or 60 cents of the cost. When they get to the market, they sell for a dozen or twenty yuan.
"at present, the Ganggang spice bag industry ranks first in the country, and our daily output is the highest-we have four hundred thousand copies a day, of which more than 50% are takeout, mainly for takeout. We have agents in every province, with sales in East China of more than 10 million a month, including millions of takeout, "said Feng Hongwu, assistant chairman of Anhui Ganggangxiang Food Company and director of the operations center. At present, the company's annual sales have reached 220 million yuan.
In fact, this is not the first time the restaurant industry has been exposed to the use of cooking bags, as early as August this year, the media reported that takeout businesses use cooking bags, but at the time the netizens did not know the original so-called cooking bag making process so disgusting.
And the head of the relevant takeout platform also said: from the current law, there is no ban on food service providers from reheating pre-packaged, refrigerated and frozen meals.
So the platform allows businesses to use different ways to produce and sell.
It is not until today that the mess in the production of cooking bags has been exposed-not so-called reheat foods, but food safety issues that range from the selection of ingredients to the making process.
In today's exposure video, there is also a worrying detail-one of the orders on the order for businesses using handbags reads: "slightly spicy, pregnant women eat, clean", but such notes are useless. The merchant still heats up the package and sends it out.
At the moment, the Hefei Food and Drug Administration has responded to the take-out use of fast food bags: it has been involved in an investigation this morning and is in the process of obtaining evidence.
Ele.me also made a statement, saying that it had noticed reports that the platform merchants were suspected of using inferior cooking bags, and had begun to urge all businesses on the platform to conduct self-inspection on the purchase channels. And now will have found that the use of this brand of products of the merchants all removed from the shelves.
According to a report by Beiqing Daily, all of the Taobao products of Gangxiang have been removed from the shelves, and a statement was issued on the front page of the shop, saying that the exposure of food strain clips and patchwork, and the late dubbing synthesis, had already been reported to the police.
The editor did not find any products about Laogang Xiang on Taobao.
Whether it was the expose who edited the video unkindly, or was there a problem with the fast food package itself, we had to wait for the findings.
But with regard to food safety, everyone has been shouting for a long time, but we can still see the news that takeout is not safe.
02. Spicy Hot Pot meatballs with feet.
A few months ago, @ People's Daily's official Weibo released a news story that almost saw everyone who likes to eat Spicy Hot Pot vomit.
A take-out boy working in Shantou, Guangdong, waited for dinner in a Spicy Hot Pot store when he suddenly found this scene:
In this fast-food restaurant, all the ingredients used to make Spicy Hot Pot are placed on the floor, looking like plastic pots used to wash clothes, with some meatballs.
The shopkeeper's son was sitting on a side chair fiddling with his cell phone, and his feet were naturally placed in the plastic basin on the floor, pedaling and stepping.
I thought it was just careless, but until the takeout left, the child's feet were still not taken out of the basin.
The whole process lasted for 15 minutes, during which time the shop just looked on and did not dissuade it.
The local health and regulatory authorities promptly went to the store to investigate after receiving the report. The shopkeeper just replied, "I was busy and didn't notice." "he was also random, not intentional."
The shopkeeper overstated two words and classified all his faults as "careless".
But is it really just an accident?
In subsequent inspections, investigators found that not only health problems were worrying, but there were also problems such as the lack of a health certificate among employees and the non-standard storage of food.
After the incident was exposed, netizens exploded the pot instantly. According to data from the relevant platforms, the size of the hotel was not small, and sales were not poor. Once discovered, it is hard to imagine how many identical or similar events have taken place before this.
How many meatballs have we eaten with our feet without knowing it?!
As netizen @ asked cool to say, "has this kind of conscience been made into a meatball under your feet?"
03 recycle old oil and recycle leftovers
Many people don't think there will be a problem with taking out just the formal, high-end national chain of restaurants, but that's not the case.
Some time ago, a video site broke out a "star" hot pot shop, in Changchun, Nanchang, Harbin three stores, recycling oil, recycling leftovers and so on.

The staff in the shop took the guest's leftover pot back to the kitchen and poured it directly into a large bucket.
Drain, reheat, filter out the leftover meat and leaves, so that a "new" Sichuan oil can be re-sold as a takeout, with no idea how much saliva and bacteria are covered in the table guests.

What will be eaten in the stomach is still so "treated", which will not be eaten?
In subsequent investigations by law enforcement officials, more and more disgusting "greasy" people paid the surface of the water: on the rooftop of the hotel, buckets of filtered "mouth oil" and drinking cups were placed on the rooftop of the hotel. Bowl chopsticks and mop in the same basin wash!
Do you dare to eat a takeout made of such cutlery?
(photo of "mouth oil" on the rooftop of the hotel from @ first-hand survey)
The takeout shop washes the mop in a stir-fried pan
You must have never seen a pan wash mop.
In the kitchen, the place where all kinds of cooking materials are piled is the granary of the mice.
You never know what a hot takeout is going through when it's in front of you!
Everyone likes to eat so-and-so, but last year, how many people remember the exposure of the chef in a big shop?
How many people remember the dirty, messy flow table, and how many remember the rat running through the ingredients?
A survey by Shanghai TV station journalist earlier this year found a blind spot in food hygiene regulation: takeout food boxes. Some food places, delivery boxes not only do not have special disinfection cabinets, and even with mop, rag and other easily bacteria-producing items put together.
On the issue of cleaning and disinfecting the delivery boxes, an industry informant on the takeout platform said:
"the food box can not be sterilized, the food hygiene supervision department does not care, we do not have specific requirements, dirty words with paper towels, wipe cloth, the appearance can not be seen."
Take-out industry, everywhere is such an unregulated dark zone.

05 while the takeout is not clean, it is also placing a heavy burden on the earth.
According to big data, a Chinese takeout released by takeout APP "ele.me", the number of takeout users in China has reached 600m, and the proportion of online takeout users consuming more than three times a week in 2016 is as high as 63.3 percent. Takeout has become a routine way for Chinese to eat.
In other words, there are at least 400 million takeout units a week in China's streets, according to this consumption pattern.
At least 400 million disposable packing boxes and 400 million plastic bags were produced, and 400 million disposable utensils were discarded.
The average use time of a plastic bag is 25 minutes.
For example, its mission is to ensure that your takeaway will not be confused with others for more than a dozen minutes of delivery.
At the end of the mission, the bags were sent to landfills or dumped directly into the sea.
The problem is that it takes at least 470 years to degrade each plastic bag.
Back and forth, the earth will always be filled with one day.
The earth's indigestible plastic waste will eventually enter lakes, oceans, marine creatures, and return to our dining table through the food chain through the ecological circulation system!
A while ago, Austria scientists announced their first found plastic particles in humen's poo sample.
Those that we have thrown away are returning a little by little.
Life is my own, health is my own.
So, from today, no matter how busy, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less junk food, eat on time, sleep on time.
Actually, making a meal by yourself may not be as troublesome as you think.
Be nice to yourself, be nice to the earth, and cook a few more meals on your own!
