Q & A
What are the common ingredients used to create fake beef in China?
-Fake beef in China is often made from cheaper meats like chicken, duck, or pork, mixed with beef essence or beef tendons for flavor, and gelatin to mimic the texture. Some unscrupulous businesses also use meat from deceased cows or aged animals, and additives like Carmine and nitrat for coloring.
How is Mongolian meat, a type of fake beef, differentiated in terms of quality and ingredients?
-Mongolian meat is differentiated into three grades: the lowest grade contains stuck meat and additives, the mid-range includes pork and duck meat with additives, and the high-grade version consists of pork and additives. The cost and quality of ingredients decrease as the grade goes down.
What is the issue with fake beef jerky production as described in the script?
-Fake beef jerky is made by creating a mold of the jerky, preparing ingredients for the fake beef, baking it, and then applying a second coloring and glazing. The process lacks authenticity and can involve questionable ingredients.
How do fake lamb chops deceive consumers in terms of taste and appearance?
-Fake lamb chops are made by mixing duck and chicken meat with beef, using an enzyme as a binding agent and adding the right seasonings to make them almost indistinguishable from real ones in terms of taste and appearance.
What is the difference between real rice and the reconstituted rice found in some self-heating meals?
-Real rice is crystal clear with distinct grains, while reconstituted rice in self-heating meals appears as long threadlike strands with tiny bubbles and irregular elliptical shapes, indicating it's made from a mix of starches and additives rather than actual rice grains.
Why is the 'natural green rice' mentioned in the script controversial?
-The 'natural green rice' is controversial because its ingredient list includes corn flour, spinach flour, mulberry leaf powder, and fresh bamboo leaf powder, but not actual rice. It also has a texture and color that raise questions about its authenticity and nutritional value.
What substances are sometimes added to noodles to enhance their elasticity and texture?
-To enhance the elasticity and texture of noodles, some manufacturers add cogenic substances like borax or sulfur dioxide. These additives can improve the appearance and texture but pose potential health risks.
What characteristics might indicate fake tofu in the Chinese market?
-Fake tofu might be extremely hard with no elasticity, emit a lime powder odor suggesting the use of whitening agents, or have an unusually smooth cut surface without the natural honeycomb texture of real tofu. These can be signs of additives like industrial gypsum or gelatin.
What health concerns are associated with consuming aluminum buns?
-Aluminum buns, made with sweetening baking powder containing aluminum sulfate and aluminum hydroxide, can affect bone development and memory in children when consumed over time due to the presence of aluminum.
How are fake eggs typically made and what are the potential health risks?
-Fake eggs are made by mixing sodium alanate with water for the egg white and adding colorants like lemon yellow for the yolk. The shells are formed from a mixture of calcium carbonate. Long-term consumption of these eggs, which have no nutritional value, can be harmful to the body.
What practices are used to counterfeit tea leaves and what are the potential health implications?
-Tea leaves are counterfeited by adding fragrance and sometimes toxic industrial pigments like lead chrome green for color. Sugars and artificial sweeteners are also added to improve taste. These practices can lead to health issues, especially with the use of harmful additives.

marinated gelatin is then added to mimic
the texture of beef making it chewy and
elastic some manufacturers even craft a
beef-like surface texture making it hard
to distinguish from real beef other
sellers use leftover beef scraps such as
lymph nodes and internal organs to

closer look at the type of fake beef
that has dominated the restaurant

different grades the lowest grade

additives priced at 6 to 8 un the
mid-range option includes some pork and
duck meat along with a heap of additives
priced between 8 to 10 unen the

a bag of Mongolian meat contains two
small smaller bags enough for two
servings the cost of one portion of
restaurant served boiled beef is 5 Yen
while they sell it to you for 58 Yen per
Bowl allowing the owner to make a profit
of 50 Yen what's more we can see that
the list of ingredients on the packaging
of Mongolian meat includes pork scraps
duck scraps fros frates sodium citate
carang genian and other addictives it's
all addictives in this next video the
man claims to have bought fake beef in
ch New Street in guo people nowadays are
truly clever they can fake just about
anything and The Fakes look so
convincing they've made the tendon
they've got the real color it's honestly
hard for the naked eye to see through
when I bought it at the store the
salesperson claimed it was Prime Beef
after cutting it you can't tear it apart
no idea what kind of glue they used cut
it open and you'll see the white part is
a glue if you try burning it with a
lighter it actually catches fire and it
produces a smell just like burning
plastic they're selling this kind of
beef for 1 to 200 un for half a
kilog how is fake beef jerky made as the
video shows first a mold of the beef
jerky is created once the mold is ready
it is dissembled and refined into a
perfect shape then the mold is cleaned
after that the ingredients for the fake
beef are prepared following this the
jerky is baked once cooked the fake beef
jerky is removed and then it undergoes a
second coloring and glazing finally the
fake beef jerky is
completed speaking of meat fake lamb and
fake lamb chops have also become a
headache for consumers in recent years
during the merchandise Slaughter process
lamb is categorized by its parts and
then released into the market after
passing inspections however some
businesses in order to cut cost mix
lowquality or even spoiled meat with
chemical ingredients such as flavorings
for processing in terms of taste and
appearance these fake lamp chops are
almost indistinguishable from real ones
some businesses use an enzyme that can
act as a binding agent mixing duck and
chicken meat with beef along with the
right seasoning to create fake lamb
chops the picture posted here is even
more interesting the man bought lamb
chops at a food festival in shenen and
only realized after taking a bite that
there was a chopstick in inserted into
the meat the individual humorously
remarked that it was another day of
falling for
tricks have you ever witnessed the
production process of plastic rice
you'll see white plastic continuously
being conveyed into a machine which then
extrudes dough-like substances from the
other end the dough-like object is then
put into another machine and after
undergoing processes like wire drawing
and threading the machine produces shiny
plastic rice the same goes in this video
an unidentified gel-like substance is
poured into the machine and what comes
out from the other end is rice even the
popular self-heating rice products that
have gained popularity in recent years
had their hidden surprises the rice you
can find in the supermarket is usually
crystal clear with distinct grains in
contrast the rice and self-heating meals
appear like long threadlike strands if
you look closely you'll even notice some
Tiny Bubbles within forming irregular
elliptical strands so it turns out that
what's being sold is not real rice but
reconstitute a rice which is made
primarily from Rice wheat and corn
starch seasonings and food additives are
then added and after a certain
proportion is determined the mixture is
ground then processed through Extrusion
and puffing to form something that looks
similar to regular rice however because
many nutrients are lost during the
production process it's not recommended
for long-term
consumption lately there is even a type
of rice marketed As Natural green rice
it claims to be a specialty from
Northeast China but many people from
that region have only become aware of it
in the last 2 years the quality of this
green rice which is advertised as free
from colorance and additives have been
the subject of numerous blogger reviews
I've bought some allnatural non-
artificially colored B rice which cost
me 162 Yen per kilogram this is the most
expensive rice I've purchased so far
let's take a look at its ingredients
list it includes corn flour spinach
flour Mulberry leaf powder fresh Bamboo
Leaf powder and water the ingredient
list has anything but rice the Blogger
mentioned that this kind of rice looks
fresh after cooking but it's color is a
bit faded after cooking it sticks
together like glue forming a solid MK
the texture when eating is similar to
chewing on glue it could even dislodge
your
dentures a man bought a pack of noodles
priced 10 Yen for half a kilogram only
to discover something alarming at home
after soaking the noodles in water
overnight not a trace of powder
dissolved and the noodles could even be
stretched this has shocked them and
apparently he will not be eating it
another customer mentioned they would
never buy noodles from the market again
after witnessing a noodle shop owner
needing dough and simply ignore the
customers when they asked to select
which type of noodle to buy this raised
suspicions could the flour used in these
noodles be different from what's found
in home kitchens later the customer
learned from a neighbor who has been
running a noodle business for over 10
years that many noodles on the market
contain cogenic substances like borax to
enhance their elasticity and texture
noodles with Borax usually have a smooth
surface and are white with with a
slightly yellow tint formata height can
also be added to make noodles appear
fresher for noodles that don't soften
easily some producers add strengthening
agents and others include cogenic
chemicals like sulfur dioxide to improve
the appearance despite looking
appetizing these noodles pose potential
health risk to investigate the
composition of fake noodles further a
blogger conducted an experiment
observing the noodle samples under a
microscope the Blogger found it strange
see granular substances clearly visible
moreover these noodles had strong
elasticity didn't spoil over time and
didn't become sticky the Blogger then
used a borax detection kit which
confirmed the presence of Borax in these
granules another blogger conducted a
simple F height test they coated both a
boiled and an unboiled noodle sample
with a formata height detection solution
after 30 minutes of waiting the results
were revealed the uncooked noodle showed
a moderate to high level of form matter
height of between 1.1 to 1.2 far
exceeding the normal caution level of
0.1 the cooked noodles had levels around
0.5 with slightly lighter coloration
indicating that format height remains
even after cooking fake tofu tofu a
highly popular and nutritious food is
generally considered a natural product
so normally one should not worry about
buying fakes right surprisingly fake
tofu has also appeared in China some
types of fake tofu are extremely hard
with no elasticity when pressed by hand
this type of tofu is suspected to
contain industrial gypsum with a
significantly excessive chemical content
potentially posing carcinogenic risk
when consumed excessively another
variety of fake tofu appears white and
tasty but emits a lime powder odor this
suggests the use of whitening agents
which may adversely affect one's Health
if consumed in excess some unscrupulous
Merchants even add gelatin during tofu
production making it impossible to
soften even after prolong cooking and is
generally unpleasant to eat there's also
tofu with an unusually smooth cut
surface devoid of tofu's natural
honeycomb texture suggesting the
addition of Co gluten this type of tofu
won't soften even after long periods of
cooking fake buns consumers dining out
need to exercise caution particularly
regarding aluminum buns authentic buns
naturally have a light yellow tint while
aluminum bones appear white and soft
aluminum bnes are made using sweetening
baking powder containing aluminum
sulfate and aluminum hydroxide which are
acidic substances during steaming these
substances produce carbon dioxide
causing the Buns to expand and appear
larger and whiter while these buns may
look appealing and taste soft the
aluminum sulfate they contain could pose
health risk consuming these buns over
time can affect bone development and
memory in children a blogger also
examined buns made with lymphatic meat
under a microscope and found out that
the meat appeared darkened in color
lymphatic tissue being part of the
animals immune system contains large
amounts of fago sites that ingest
bacteria and viruses making it
susceptible to contamination by
pathogens like salmonella and step cois
areas and thus unfit for consumption un
quarantined Pig lymphatic meat could
expose consumers to various xotic
diseases fake eggs the world is full of
surprises as even eggs can be faked a
woman showcased the fake eggs that she
bought noting they often crack in the
middle unlike the intact appearance of
normal eggs the egg whites and shells of
fake eggs are darker in color the most
distinctive feature is that the yolks of
fake eggs are often a single uniform
Mass rather than being dispersed
naturally this may be due to the
addition of thickeners and the UN
uniformed appearance of yolk color is
achieved through coloring or other
chemical methods the woman expressed
concern showing that these eggs lack any
flavor and are entirely spoiled when
opened the production process of fake
egg is rather puzzling primarily
involving the mixing of various
compounds these compounds have no
nutritional value and long-term
consumption can cause harm to the body
the first step is creating fake eggs as
to make the egg white sodium alanate is
mixed with water to form a solution the
base for the egg white the solution is
stirred continuously until it thickens
into a substance resembling egg white
the egg yolk is made similarly but with
the addition of colorant like lemon
yellow to the sodium alanite solution
this colorful solution is then poured
into specially designed moles and
solidified in a calcium chloride
solution the eggshell is formed from a
mixture of calcium carbonate and other
materials placed in molds to achieve the
shape of a neck
shell it's almost Unthinkable that even
tea leaves can be counterfeited a video
showcases a woman demonstrating the
process of scenting tea leaves pour this
fragrance water into a measuring cup
open the air compressor switch aim the
nozzle inside the Tea Leaf container and
spray some fragrance water into the
Container while stirring the tea leaves
this is the process of adding fragrance
the end results are finally mad tea
leaves this is what we call fragrance
tea to enhance their appearance some
unethical businesses add artificial
colorance to Tea Leaves during
processing there have been reports of
lead chrome green being added to green
tea giving it more of a vibrant green
appearance however this colorant is an
industrial pigment that is toxic in
nature and should not be used as a food
additive manufacturers also add sugar to
Tea Leaves aiming to improve the
glossiness and sweetness of of the dry
tea the sugars used include edible
sugars and artificial sweetness some
Merchants even make use of inferior
materials to substitute for higher
quality ones creating Blends that are
difficult for the average consumer to
distinguish the most common example of
this is blending of lower quality Tan in
tea Tan in a tea plant variety and also
a name for a specific tea making process
often includes blends of other varieties
similars to teing particularly are many
of the cheaper options available on the
market fake honey beehives honey as a
natural nutritional food is cherished
for its unique flavor and numerous
health benefits however in recent years
some businesses seeking illicit gains
have employed various illegal methods to
counterfeit honey flooding the market
with fake and substandard products the
most common method of Faking honey
involves mixing syrup and adding
fragrance making it look like real honey
this deception is hard to discern based
solely on appearance some businesses
feed bees sugar which in the presence of
ample food sources discouraged them from
collecting nectar thereby saving time
and increasing honey production at the
expense of taste
quality additionally some businesses add
meltose or sodium camate among with
various additives to mimic honey while
merely affecting taste might seem
harmless some producers create fake
Honey by mixing Alum and white sugar
which with long-term consumption can
damage the brain's nervous system
leading to irreversible memory loss some
unethical businesses use lowcost honey
to impersonate high quality honey adding
corn syrup and flavors to create honey
that is difficult to distinguish from
the genuine product to ensure that you
are buying trustworthy honey it is
essential to compare products from
different sources and purchase from
reputable sellers unscrupulous Merchants
may use cheap honey as a substitute for
premium honey adding high fructose corn
syrup and flavorings making it difficult
to distinguish from the real product to
purchase good quality honey consumers
should shop around and buy from a
trustworthy Merchant in recent years not
only honey but even beehives have also
frequently been counterfeited I bought
this for 30 which comes in a square
shaped box that looks quite appetizing
the seller claimed it to be natural
beehive honey assuring us it could be
safely soaked in water and consumed
he explains upon examining a piece of
honeycomb a line can be seen in the
middle this is where the problem lies
there's this substance visible when we
pull it apart and next we'll soak it in
lukewarm water to see what
happens it's revealed that the substance
is made from industrial paraffin wax
which is a must use when producing
artificial honey it is highly hazardous
to the human body as it contains
carcinogenic substances like polycystic
aromatic hydrocarbons and condensed
aromatic hydrocarbons especially when
leeched into warm
water I purchased this at the suam pink
Night Market in changa the stall is
called L little seafood and the sea
cucumber is priced at 96 per half a
kilogram did you think this was sea
cucumber I ate quite a bit before
realizing that something was a mess this
is fake sea cumber made from fish mall
but sold at Seafood there have been
reports of a well-known restaurant in
dalan which use sponge as a substitute
for sea cucumber a tourist in Ral
Shandong bought seafood for 60 per half
a kilo only to discover the crab legs
appear to be stuffed with gluten this
man spent 400 Yen on mantis shrimp only
to find them Hollow and filled with
water upon opening some describe the
current state of Chinese society as
billions of lives have been sacrificed
to toxic milk powder vaccines
contaminated classrooms running tracks
and moldy Foods China's food crisis have
reached a point where not eating can
lead to immediate death from starvation
but eating can lead to a slow death from
poisoning the public criticizes the
authorities for inadequate regulations
the Chinese government's so-called food
safety supervision is merely empty
promises as China's food safety defenses
crumble and the dangers of poison food
nearly spiral out of
control the food safety issue also
highlights multiple challenges in
Chinese Society including a lack of
information transparency and imperfect
legal environment and declining social
trust under the ccp's regime of violence
lies and poisoning Chinese people
continue to struggle to navigate
life
