At present, 18 of the persons involved in the case have been taken compulsory measures

The Hangzhou police have always attached great importance to food safety issues
such as "rice bags", "vegetable baskets" and "fruit plates" for ordinary people.
Since the beginning of this year, the environmental food and drug department of the Hangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, together with the market supervision department, has started from the work of epidemic prevention and control to combat smuggling frozen products, aimed at "beef hundred leaves", an animal offal food of public concern, and gave full play to the advantages of the public security organs' position control and control.
Farmers market stalls such as Xiaoshan New Agricultural Capital and Xiasha Jiuqiao are sold
to the public.
After sampling and testing, all ingredients prohibited by the state were detected
.

Based on the clues obtained from the preliminary investigation, the Hangzhou police immediately set up a special group to carry out further investigation and found that these illegal and criminal gangs were well-organized, had a clear division of labor, and had special personnel responsible for
the three links of raw material procurement, soaking processing, and wholesale sales.

After the suspect purchased frozen animal offal products from frozen food markets and other places, he first thawed the frozen animal offal in some hidden locations such as Deqing, Yuhang, and Xiaoshan, and then simmered the frozen animal offal with boiling water, and then used formaldehyde, hanging white blocks and other non-edible substances to soak the tripe and beef shutters to gain weight and bleach, and sold
them to the outside in the early morning of the next day.
At present, the case is still being further investigated, the relevant food involved in the case has been removed from the shelves and sealed, and the food business involved in the case is being investigated and handled
.

Hangzhou police remind the general public that the use of formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, caustic soda and other chemicals to soak and process tripe and beef shutters is an illegal act of adding non-edible substances in the process of food processing, and is suspected of food safety criminal offenses
.
When buying ingredients such as tripe, beef shutter leaves, chicken feet, etc.
, consumers should try to purchase from regular markets, supermarkets and other channels, do not buy from unlicensed vendors such as roadside stalls, and do not covet cheap to buy ingredients
that are too cheap.
Avoid picking products
with unusual colors and pungent odors.
