    As the New Year is approaching, I believe many people have already started preparing new year products
    .
    When it comes to new year products, fish, shrimp and other aquatic products are definitely on the list .
    However, since the epidemic, many new coronavirus detection products and environmental and cold chain-related news reports, can frozen seafood be eaten with confidence?
     
    Rest assured to eat seafood!
     
    Can cold chain seafood be eaten? Zhang Wenhong, director of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Huashan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, responded: The material-to-human transmission of the new crown virus will not change the country's overall ability to control the epidemic
    .
    At present, there are cases of cold chain transmission, but it is basically the infection of people at the first contact point such as markets and logistics.
    There are no cases of infection due to eating frozen meat or seafood, so there is no need to panic
    .
    We should remain vigilant and pay attention to the prevention and control of infectious diseases when people gather
    .
     
    Li Ning, deputy director and researcher of the National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment, said in an interview with the media that there is currently no evidence of food transmission of the new coronavirus.
    Among the confirmed reported cases in the world and the confirmed cases in China, no direct consumption of frozen food has been found so far.
    And the infection caused
    .
    The new coronavirus is mainly spread through the respiratory tract, droplets and close human-to-person contact, and the possibility of infection through the digestive tract is very small
    .
     
    In other words, normal frozen aquatic products purchased through formal channels are edible
    .
     
    Since the epidemic, the country has successively issued two legal standards, which have raised the management of "cold chain logistics" to a new level
    .
    The positive detection of imported products and packaging also shows that China's epidemic prevention and control measures are very strict in place
    .

     
    On December 21, 2020, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council issued the "Notice of the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council on the Tariff Adjustment Plan for 2021"
    .
    The names of commodities whose tariffs have been reduced include meat and seafood products, which fully shows that most imported foods are fine!
     
    How to deal with frozen seafood?
     
    Zhang Boli, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in an interview with the People’s Daily recently that when the Spring Festival is here, everyone always wants to buy some seafood.
    It is best not to touch the frozen seafood directly.
    Wear gloves and masks.
    Water splashed everywhere, but soaked with water.
    After soaking, handle it gently, and also handle gloves and masks
    .
     
     
     
    Editor's reminder
     
    When selecting frozen seafood, pay attention to the following points:
    When buying frozen sea fish, pay attention to the eyes, belly and scales of the fish
    .
    Frozen sea fish with clear and bright fish eyes, intact fish maws, and intact scales without falling off are relatively fresh
    .

     
    For frozen green prawns, the body and shells of the prawns are transparent and blue, which is relatively fresh, while the unfresh ones are mostly manifested by the black head of the prawns and the prawn necks are easily broken and disconnected
    .
    Part of the wild frozen shrimp, its normal color should be transparent pale pink
    .

     
    When buying crabs, you should choose individuals with complete limbs.
    Frozen crabs with light crabs with a fullness of less than 80%, tough and dry meat, and broken shells are all defective products
    .
