When buying vacuum-packed rice dumplings, you should buy rice dumplings with the factory name, site, production date and shelf life.

When buying bulk dumplings, pay attention to buying dumplings with correct angles, proper ties, no obvious corners, and no exposed body
.
Peel off the zong leaves, the appearance of the zong body should be shiny and free of impurities
.

 

　　The second is scientific storage and consumption
.
In hot weather, rice dumplings are prone to rancidity, so pay attention to the preservation method
.
Store raw and cooked zongzi separately, and keep the opened zongzi at room temperature for no more than 2 hours
.
Consumers can use different storage methods according to the type of rice dumplings they buy
.
Vacuum-packed zongzi should be stored in accordance with the labeling requirements.
Fresh zongzi should be purchased in small quantities each time.
The remaining zongzi should be refrigerated or frozen in time and heated thoroughly before being eaten again
.

 

　　The third is to pay attention to being cooked thoroughly
.
Rice dumplings containing miscellaneous grains or miscellaneous beans require a longer cooking time to be cooked thoroughly
.
Cold rice dumplings should not be eaten directly due to starch regeneration and fat coagulation, otherwise the taste and flavor of the rice dumplings will be affected
.

 

　　The fourth is scientific and reasonable diet
.
Zongzi made from glutinous rice are mostly high-sugar, high-starch, and high-energy foods
.
The elderly and children should eat less due to weak digestive function.
Patients with cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, "three high" people, and gastrointestinal disease patients should also control their consumption to avoid excessive gastrointestinal burden and indigestion
.

 

　　At the same time, consumers are reminded that when they have a group dinner with their families, relatives and friends, they should process and make food in an appropriate amount, try to eat it as a meal and finish it on the same day
.
When dining out, choose a restaurant with a "Food Business License", good sanitary conditions, and a "bright kitchen and bright stove"
.
Do not eat dishes with abnormal sensory and under-cooked cooking, do not eat brightly colored cured meats, and carefully choose high-risk foods such as raw and cold seafood and homemade drinks
.
Promote civilized dining and eliminate waste
