With the cold weather, eating hot pot has become the choice of many consumers when they go out for dinner. To this end, the Market Supervision Bureau of Longyan City, Fujian Province, recently issued a warning on safe consumption of hot pot food, reminding consumers of "three precautions" to protect their health, and on the other hand, warning hot pot shop operators of "three controls" to ensure safety. Longyan Municipal Market Supervision Bureau reminds consumers to pay attention to hot pot selection, cooking and eating. Consumers should choose hotpot shops with complete licenses, clean internal and external environment, and high quantitative level of food safety supervision. When rinsing food, meat and other ingredients must be fully cooked. Slice the meat as thin as possible to prevent parasite eggs and other harmful microorganisms from surviving during boiling. Be careful to use seafood products, green beans, fresh day lily and other ingredients. Do not eat wild mushrooms to prevent foodborne diseases. When eating hot pot, separate raw food from cooked food, and avoid placing too much food on the table to prevent cross contamination; Try to eat separately, and advocate the use of male chopsticks and male spoons. Longyan Municipal Market Supervision Bureau also reminded hot pot shop operators to strictly control oil, meat and materials. Strengthen the management of kitchen waste and edible oil, use prepackaged edible oil, do not purchase or use unqualified oil, use disposable pot bottom, and standardize the disposal of kitchen waste oil. Strictly implement the relevant provisions on the purchase of meat and other raw materials, such as the request for certificates and tickets, and the inspection of incoming goods, to ensure that the source of food raw materials is traceable and the quality is guaranteed. We will strengthen the management of hot pot ingredients and dips, prohibit the addition of poppy shells, paraffin and other non edible substances, and standardize the use of food additives. In addition, the hotpot shop should also do a good job in disinfection of catering utensils and food containers, keep the place clean and sanitary, regularly check the ventilation facilities in the shop, maintain the air circulation in the dining place, and ensure that the public can eat safely and safely.
