I want to ask this, Steemian friends, usually when buying bread, you definitely look for the expiration date, right? The longer expiration date, that's definitely what you choose. In fact, make no mistake, bread like that actually uses preservatives. Something natural does rot quickly, and you definitely avoid it.
Are Preserved Foods Still Safe to Consume?

"It depends, biologically preserved or fermented, it increases the nutritional value of a food. So whether it is dangerous or not, depends on the preservation method. Usually chemical preservation, it is salted or candied, that is not good for health, because it increases the high sugar source. But if preserved biologically or fermented, it actually increases the nutritional value. So the option to preserve or store it is that we must first see whether the food is indeed suitable to be stored for a long period. Because why? It will still be better to eat fresh foods."
Is Formalin Included in the Preservation Process

"Formalin is not included in the type of food, formalin is not for preserving food. So if someone says that formalin or borax is for preserving food, that is wrong. Because it is not for consumption, but is used by certain individuals to preserve food."
Was the explanation above helpful enough? So don't be careless if you consume food that has preservatives. Well, now I will give you tips. This time I will give you special tips. Not tips on caring for your face to stay young. Not also tips for maintaining a long-lasting romantic relationship so that it remains harmonious and rarely fights. But tips to know food that contains dangerous preservatives.
Okay, the first tip is wet noodles. Try to press the noodles. If the noodles are very chewy and not sticky, and not damaged, without having to cook them in a hurry, don't be happy too quickly, because it could be that the noodles contain formalin.
Next, tips for tofu.
Press the tofu gently and with love. If the tofu is slightly crushed, it means the tofu does not contain formalin. That's because tofu that contains formalin will be very chewy, dense and not easily crushed. Also, try to smell the aroma of the tofu. If it smells like soap, try checking again, it could be that what you smell is actually bar soap, not tofu. However, if the tofu you smell smells like medicine or chemicals, it definitely contains formaldehyde. I'll add a few tips. If you choose tofu, try to find tofu that is not slimy and does not smell. Because if it is slimy and smells, it means the tofu is already damaged. Then this is for the mothers at home, if you choose yellow tofu, look for a color that is rather dull. If the color is too bright, you should be wary, it could be that it uses coloring. And food that uses unnatural coloring, it will be very dangerous for our health. Don't worry, I know very well about these tips because tofu is my favorite food.
Next, tips for testing meatballs.
Prepare a toothpick that has been inserted into the turmeric for a few minutes. Then, insert it into the meatball. Let it sit for a few moments, and pull the toothpick out again. If there is a color change, it means that the meatballs may contain borax.
Do you know why this can happen? This is because borax is basic, its opposite is acidic, not its opposite is dry. And it will react to the curcumin in the turmeric.
If the meatballs are too chewy, and their color is not normal, it is also a sign that the meatballs are using borax or formalin.
Well, for chicken meat, the method is very easy, as easy as snapping your fingers for those who can, it turns out to be difficult. Okay, let's get straight to the point to find out which chicken meat is without preservatives, you can see it from the texture of the meat which is firm and not easily damaged. In addition, chicken meat with preservatives is less liked by flies. So, the presence of
So, the presence of flies is also an indication. Good chicken meat is white and can only last a few days at room temperature.
