Why is there a small hole in the chicken feet bought from the market?

The "pinholes" on chicken feet look eye-catching, but experts say that these are only traces left by slaughter, so the public need not worry. One possibility is that in the process of bloodletting, chicken feet are prone to congestion, and blood vessels rupture after scalding with boiling water to produce holes; It is also possible that after slaughter, the hook is inserted into the chicken feet, leaving a small hole for fixing the whole chicken. No matter what the reason, there will be no food safety problems, and citizens can rest assured to eat. Can the injected chicken feet still be eaten? "Yesterday, Ms. Zhou exposed the fresh chicken feet she bought early in the morning at the Weibo. Because each one has a small hole that looks like a pinhole, she raised the above question. After consulting relevant experts, the reporter learned that the small hole on the chicken feet is not a pinhole, but a normal slaughter trace, which can be safely eaten.

Yesterday morning, Ms. Zhou bought these chicken feet in the Baxianlou vegetable market in the city. She recalled that she bought chicken feet of 1 1 and spent 15 yuan, and she didn't care too much when the vendor selected and weighed them for her. After washing the chicken feet at home, Ms. Zhou found that eight of the chicken feet of 1 1 had a small hole in the same position on the ankle. Reminiscent of the food safety problems that keep appearing in newspapers, she can't help but suspect that these are "toxic" chicken feet that have been drugged, and these small holes are needle holes, so she threw them all away and sent out "Can I eat such injection chicken feet?" Why? The post.

In order to help Ms. Zhou and the general public solve their doubts, the reporter contacted Hu Xilong, assistant general manager of Fuji Bridge poultry industry, through the market supervision department. As an industry expert, his answer may reassure Ms. Zhou.

Hu Xilong said that from the perspective of technology and cost, it is unrealistic to inject chicken feet, so the possibility is very low. Even if you are vaccinated, you usually choose to inject it in chicken buttocks, thighs, chicken wings and other parts.

Small holes are fine, but there are other precautions when buying chicken feet. Hu Xilong reminded the public that the most important thing to buy chicken feet is to observe the color. Normal fresh chicken feet should be white and slightly yellow, and kept in cold storage. Too dark color may not be fresh, too bright and too white color may be the result of bleaching. The public must pay attention to identification.
