Did you know that pork can also be "beautiful"? Chen Xianxian, a citizen of Xi'an, now many butcher shops are hung with a light, the light is red, hit on the pork, the meat looks particularly tender, but get the ordinary light, the color of the meat is not the same. Mr. Chen felt the need to remind consumers to polish their eyes when choosing pork under the "beauty lamp.

Citizens Reflected: The lights in butcher shops are not ordinary, and the color of meat cannot be recognized under the lights

. Mr. Chen said that he often buys meat and found that the lights in many butcher shops and butcher stalls are not ordinary lights.

"The average supermarket and shop, all use white light for lighting, but the butcher's, the butcher's, and the supermarket's fresh section, all use red light. The pink light from these lights hits the meat, and the color of the meat is pink and bright, which looks very red and fresh, but when you take it out, you'll find that it's not the color under the red light at all." Mr. Chen said that the color cannot be recognized by the red light on the meat. If it is not fresh meat and water-injected meat, the color will become very good-looking, and customers will not be able to recognize it at all. He thinks this is a kind of confusion to consumers.

Mr. Chen said: "Although I have not bought pork with quality problems because of this lamp, I still want to remind consumers to choose meat under this light and keep their eyes open."

Reporter Visits: More than ten butcher shops all used red lights

On August 14, a reporter from China Business Daily visited more than ten butcher shops and stalls in the south of Xi 'an to see if what Mr. Chen said existed.

In a chilled meat store in Ziwei Garden City, High-tech Zone, the reporter saw that, as Mr. Chen said, a row of chandeliers with red lights hung above the fresh meat. The lampshade of these lamps is red, the light source is LED, and the circular luminous spots are distributed in a ring, red and white. And the meat irradiated by the red light is also very "ruddy", even the white fat has become red.

reporter closely observed the fresh meat on the chopping board. No matter from which angle, the color of the meat is very bright red, just like adding a fresh filter, and there is no flaw. The reporter selected a piece of pork belly. After buying it, he found that the color of the meat was not so red. The lean part was light red and the fat part was white. The same piece of meat, the color under red light and natural light is very different.

Later, the reporter came to the fresh meat area of a community convenience supermarket in the south of the city and found that white lights were used above the other shelves of the convenience supermarket, but red lights were used in the cold fresh meat area.

In the Rosefinch Agricultural Products Wholesale Market in Guodu, Chang 'an District, the reporter visited several butcher shops and found that the "red light" is basically "standard", with red lights hanging above the shelves and chopping boards of each butcher shop. Some businesses have installed a row of red light ceiling lamps above the chopping board. When the red light is illuminated, the meat on the chopping board is all red. At noon on the 15th, a reporter from China Business Daily came to a large supermarket on Western Avenue. The lights in the pork area were not red lights, but ordinary white lights. However, in the beef and mutton area, red lights were seen again.

reporter asked several butcher shop owners, why do you want to install red light in the butcher shop? One boss replied, "Why do people wear makeup? Just to see. When the red light is illuminated, the appearance of the meat will attract customers more. There is no harm in using the red light. Why not?"

Red light is called "fresh light". It is very

on the shopping website. So, who is this red light? The reporter of China Business Daily learned from the conversation with several vendors that this kind of red light is called fresh light, which can be easily bought in the lamp city or shopping website. There are many kinds of light sources. "Not only red light, red light is used for meat, but also other colors. For different foods, there are different colors."

Reporters from China Business Daily opened the shopping website and searched for "fresh lights". Thousands of items were found, with unit prices ranging from more than 20 yuan to 100 yuan. The reporter from China Business Daily found a fresh lamp that sold thousands of pieces a month, opened the page, and the slogan directly read "specially designed for fresh supermarkets, selling well and doing business".
