18 yuan roast duck survey: it only takes 30 days to raise ducks, and farmers don’t eat them themselves.
Roast duck is ruddy in color and crisp in taste. Now there are many roast duck restaurants in the streets. However, in the face of low-priced roast duck and frozen duck of unknown origin, do you still dare to have a good time?
In the reporter’s unannounced visit, I saw that the roast duck stalls in a food market were hung with freshly baked roast ducks, all of which were shiny, and the price of one 18 yuan was also very close to the people.
According to the results after weighing, the reporter calculated that a catty of roast duck is about 12 yuan. Excluding the processing cost, the cost of duck is less than 10 yuan. How can it be so cheap? What kind of duck does the merchant use? Is there such a low-priced roast duck on the Hefei market?
Through the interview, the reporter found that the price of roast duck in Hefei market is generally about one in 20 yuan. The price of finished roast duck is so cheap, but what is the price of fresh duck? Is it as cheap as roast duck?
Live ducks cost more than 20 yuan a catty. How much do those roast ducks on the market need a catty? Then the reporter bought two roast ducks from the market and weighed them.
The two roast ducks are packed in half and in one, the price of half is 10 yuan, the price of one is 22 yuan, and the weight of half is 0.36kg, and the weight of one is 0.67kg.
According to the calculation, the price of two portions of roast duck we bought is about 14 yuan to 16 yuan, which is less than two thirds of the price compared with the fresh duck meat we know in the market, which is 20 yuan to 25 yuan.
The price difference between roast duck and fresh duck is so wide, will merchants do this loss-making business? What is the mystery behind the low-priced roast duck?
In the interview, for the source of low-priced roast duck, some merchants finally revealed that they used low-priced frozen ducks. A frozen duck weighing about 2.5 kg only needs less than the price of 10 yuan, and the price of roast duck per kg is about 3 yuan.
In the frozen wholesale market of Zhougudui and Chinese food market in Hefei, the reporter saw that there are boxes of frozen ducks for sale, with 10 ducks in each box, and the price is about 90. Counting that each frozen duck is less than 10 pieces, the price is really very cheap.
However, in the interview, some merchants broke the even more astounding low price to reporters. For the canteen to buy ducks, 60 yuan a box, a box of 20.
According to the reporter’s rough calculation, a frozen duck that can’t reach 10 yuan weighs about 2.5 Jin, and only needs more than 3 yuan per Jin. With such a cheap price, will there be any problem with the quality?
Roasted duck is cheap, and the price of frozen duck is even lower, which makes people feel terrible.
In the face of reporters’ questioning, merchants guarantee that duck meat is absolutely safe and safe to eat. So, where do these low-priced frozen duck meat come from? Does the merchant guarantee that there is no problem? Let’s look at the follow-up investigation on the origin of frozen ducks in the reporter’s previous interview.
Then the reporter visited the hairless duck and found an amazing inside story.
According to farmers, it only takes about 30 days to raise ducks, and they can be sold without their hair growing. Moreover, they never eat the ducks they raise. In the process of raising ducks, in order to keep up with the growth speed of ducks, they will be given medicine supplements.
Faced with the cheap roast duck whose quality is difficult to guarantee and the frozen duck whose origin is unknown, it is inevitable that consumers will have doubts and it is difficult to eat the so-called delicious food with confidence. Food safety can’t be ignored, so consumers must be more vigilant when buying roast duck, and go to regular places to buy it as much as possible, and don’t be greedy for cheap.
