Since ancient times, such folklore as ceremonial moons, moonlights, moon cakes, flowers, cinnamon wine has been in circulation for a long time. At this time of family reunion, moon cakes have also been given the purpose of reunification because of their unique appearance. In order to help you understand correctly, select and buy healthy monthly cakes, the provincial market supervisory authority makes the following recommendations:
Definition and classification of moon cakes
Mooncakes are made of grain powders such as wheat flour and/or eating starch, potato powder, beans, edible oil, etc., and are made of (or not) sugar into pie skins, packaged with all kinds of pies and processed for traditional holiday pastries, mainly for the mid-autumn season。
Localized features can be classified as wide-range moon cakes, kyoyo mooncakes, suyo mooncakes, twilight mooncakes, fhi mooncakes, twilight mooncakes, lunar cakes, table mooncakes, lunar cakes and other mooncakes。
Thermal and cold processes are classified according to the characteristics of the sophisticated process. The cold-processed category refers to monthly cakes that are reprocessed at constant or low temperatures after the raw materials have been heated and ripened, often dominated by ice-covered mooncakes. Thermal processing refers to products that are baked, fried and eventually cooked, such as cloud-legged moon cakes, omelet yolks, lasagna。
However, some products, such as “cakes” and soufflés, are non-traditional cakes of mid-autumn orders, which differ from the traditional monthly cakes. Because of their sweet tastes and their rich tastes, they are also sold in boxes before mid-autumn. Consumers need to look carefully at the contents of the packaging when purchasing it and choose the monthly cake or pastry that is in the right taste。
Scientific selection
Today, more and more consumers prefer web platforms to buy food. The purchase of monthly cakes on the internet must be done with caution, choosing websites and shops with formal operating qualifications and high credit ratings, checking the relevant business certificates, product promotion and service commitments in the course of the transaction, with three vendors taking the initiative to obtain and secure a consumption certificate. Under-line purchases of monthly cakes should be made by selection of well-qualified, well-stored, sanitary outlets, supermarkets, markets, etc。
View packaging marks
1. View the packaging. When buying the monthly cake, consumers examine the appearance of the product, the packaging should be clean and complete, the bag should be sealed and there should be no leakage; the paper-covered monthly cake should be sealed in full and the packaging paper should not be immersed in printed ink. In addition, in order to improve the competitiveness of mooncakes, merchants are struggling with packaging while improving their quality and taste and variety. Each box contains too many layers of monthly cake products, too many gaps and too many packs. Food and cosmetics (gb 23350-2021), in accordance with national mandatory standards, " restrictions on overpacking requirements for goods " , should not exceed three layers of monthly cake packaging, should not use precious metals and mangrove materials and should not be combined with other products, etc. In order to avoid waste and environmental damage from overpacking and to protect consumer interests, consumers are advised to buy monthly cakes by choosing simple packaging products to counter overpacking and to create a good social climate for green consumption。
2. View labels. The label should include: information on food names, distribution tables, net content and specifications, production dates, shelf life, storage conditions, food production licence numbers, etc., and should not purchase or eat unlabelled or labeled information, lack of clarity, cover-up, reprinting or tampering with marked products. The date of production needs to be looked at carefully and the duration of the preservation should be observed. There is a wide variety of materials for making mooncakes, and the sensitive population needs to look carefully at the recipe table when selecting or eating the mooncakes, so that the relevant sensitivity or alert information is not omitted。
3. Check the nutritional composition table. Monthcakes are often high sugar foods, and for those who need to control sugar, attention is paid to the table of ingredients and nutrients, and the purchase of sugar-free or low-smalt products is reasonably selected. Consumers need to be careful in identifying the concept of sugar-free “low sugar” “cane-free”. In the national standards for food safety, general code of nutritional labelling of pre-packaged foods (gb 28050-2011), it is stated that if a product purports to be “sugar-free” means carbohydrate content of 0. 5 g/100g in the nutritional composition table, “low sugar” means carbohydrate content of 5 g/100g in the nutritional composition table, although it is non-sugar-free monthly cake, but the taste is sweet because of the addition of sweetener agents such as aspas, sweeten, low-polymal sugar or wood sugar alcohol. The term “cane-free” is used to refer to a formulation that does not contain sugar and does not add sugar white, sugar white, etc., but does not mean that other sugars, such as glucose, fruit sugar, lactose, malt sugar, etc., are not added. Thus, for sugar-free monthly cakes, the population controlling blood sugar must be careful to purchase。
Rational storage, scientific food
The monthly bread, which is a command food, is produced and distributed over a very long period of time and has a short shelf life, and consumers should reasonably buy it on demand. Because of the abundance of oil and sugar, such as pastries, mooncakes, the heat is perishable. Consumers should keep their monthly cakes in accordance with the instructions on the bags. The types of monthly cakes that require special storage, such as ice-coated moon cakes, can be stored in refrigerated or refrigerated containers by hints to maintain the best taste. It is not appropriate to store moon cakes with other foods and groceries in order to avoid the odour and influence their taste。
Before eating a moon cake, the product should be initially judged by the senses. Do not eat if there is a strangulation, carving, corset, smelling. The levels of sugar, grease, etc. Vary among the different categories of monthly cake, and most of the monthly cakes have higher levels of sugar and grease, and it is recommended not to over-eat and maintain a balanced diet. For the elderly, children and those with gastrointestinal disorders, it is recommended that the diet be measured according to their physical condition. In addition, nuts seeds are a common raw material for moon cakes and are common allergies, and people who are allergic to nuts need to carefully read their recipes or hints before eating, so that they do not cause allergies。
