UP owner claimed to have eaten moon cakes sent by Zhihu three times, and had diarrhea. Is Zhihu unreliable? Or is the manufacturer unreliable?

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhihu Platform distributed moon cakes to many VIPs. However, many people say that eating moon cakes made in Zhihu will cause diarrhea, saying that the food is too unreliable, and the manufacturers they are looking for are also very unreliable. But in fact, Zhihu has some bad luck in this matter, and the moon cakes with loose bowels can't be entirely blamed on the Zhihu platform or manufacturers.

Zhihu's official apology was also timely. Zhihu official account responded that Zhihu also commissioned a company with a good reputation in the industry to produce moon cakes. In the process of making moon cakes, he also proposed to use maltitol instead of sucrose, because the low-sugar moon cakes made in this way have lower calories and can be safely eaten by diabetics and dieters. Therefore, Zhihu's starting point is good, but he ignores that some people are intolerant of maltitol, which leads to physical discomfort and diarrhea.

Zhihu also said that he had contacted people with diarrhea, provided remedies as much as possible, and urgently recalled all moon cakes. In the process of product selection and procurement in the future, stricter and higher standards will be implemented. I also hope that you can participate in the process of product selection, procurement and evaluation in Zhihu in the future. Therefore, eating moon cakes with food will cause diarrhea, and the fundamental reason should be xylitol in moon cakes.

Because some people will have an intolerant reaction to xylitol, but the starting point of intellectual care is good, but it is not considerate. Moreover, sugar alcohol used in Zhihu moon cakes is more expensive than sucrose used in ordinary moon cakes. Zhihu's moon cakes use sugar alcohol as sugar substitute, which needs to reach the same sweetness as ordinary moon cakes, and the price is 4-5 times more expensive than ordinary moon cakes. When making moon cakes, Zhihu thought that some people might not eat moon cakes because of losing weight or high blood sugar, so he chose sugar instead, so Zhihu did something wrong with kindness.
