Distinguish clean pork and worm meat

Worm-infected meat has large white spots, fibrous or oval-shaped fibers, and hard, inelastic meat.

Clean pork is a pig that is not fed with weighted bran, no residues of drugs and chemicals made by food, no parasites and bacteria, no preservatives. Clean pork usually has thick layers and fat.

There are many ways to identify clean pork and parasite-infected pork, most commonly helminth infections. According to the doctor Bui Dac Sang, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, simple measures to detect are cutting meat in the vertical and observing. If the meat has large white spots like a needle, or a filamentous or oval fiber, it is infected with helminths.

"It is also possible to identify by touching the piece of meat," said Morning physician. A hard, non-elastic, non-soft piece of pork . most likely has been marinated or contains borax.

The common infection in meat is called Cysticercus cellulosae. When entering the human body, flukes do not develop immediately into small worms, but continue to exist as larvae, forming tumors that move in the skin and soft tissue. These mobile tumors often appear on the face, back of hands, back, buttocks, and abdomen. The tumor gradually changes into a small nodule or an edema mass, causing damage to the central nervous system such as perceptual disorder, hemiplegia, and coma.

The parasite larvae can also move into organs such as liver, lungs, causing abdominal pain, cough, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. They move into the eyes to cause bleeding, vision loss, which leads to blindness. When they get into the ears, the nasal cavity causes ear aches, rhinitis.

Pork in addition to the risk of helminth infections can also be infected with weight gain, lean substance or soak preservatives.

Identify clean pork with weight gain meat, super lean

Super lean pork due to chemicals smells better than clean pork, thin fat layer, lean parts and separate fat.
