Buying meat products in stores or in the market, few people think about what exists. meat quality requirements. And in vain, because it depends not only on the taste of ready-made dishes, but also our health.



If you see a product you bought at the supermarket is spoiled, go back there and return it. For that. Always keep your checks.. Such situations should not be left to chance, because it is about the health of people. Something similar happened to the heroine of today’s rather curious story. How about a hen glowing in the dark?

A resident of the Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk Elena Zaslavskaya shared with her friends an unusual post. On Facebook, a woman says she bought chicken at a Silpo supermarket. The meat looked completely normal and there were no odors. Moreover, Elena managed to cook borscht on this meat and taste it with the whole family.



However, a small piece of chicken fillet woman gave her cat. She did not eat it, and the meat remained in the cat bowl. When Elena went out to the kitchen to drink water, she saw something unusual. A piece of chicken glowed in the dark!

"The cat didn't eat ... I get up at night and it glows! Except that the holograms do not broadcast. Are there foodies among you or just knowledgeable people who can explain this phenomenon?

In addition, the staff assured that the chicken was stored in the appropriate conditions, and all meat quality requirements were respected.

We checked the entire chain from the supply of all products to its implementation, no violations were identified. We also reviewed the supplier’s documents confirming the quality of the products. Everything complies with the norms, Silpo representatives said.

Why does meat glow in the dark? If the documents are all right, why does chicken glow in the dark? As it turns out, there may be several reasons for this.

1. Often manufacturers use phosphate mixturesTo extend the shelf life of various products. Because of this, meat can begin to glow in the dark. If the glow is too bright, this indicates that the wrong composition of phosphates was used during the processing.

Secondly, it leads to deterioration of mental activity. In addition, there may be problems with the cardiovascular system. Phosphates are contraindicated in children, as they spoil teeth and may disrupt behavior.
   
   
2. With improper cooling or storage on meat, pseudomonad bacteria can multiply. This is possible if the animal is sick. These bacteria have an unusual property. bioluminescent. If you treat the product thermally, the bacteria will be destroyed and will not cause any harm. However, microbiologists do not recommend eating such meat.

3. Sometimes. phosphorescence It may be caused by photobugs. For example, Photobacterium fischeri, Ph. ponticum, Ph. cyanophosphorescens. Seeding, or contamination of the product with these bacteria, occurs during the cooling stage. This happens due to too high humidity and at a temperature of 5 to 30 degrees. The pH level of meat is higher than 5.6.
   
   
   
   These bacteria do not have toxic properties. Moreover, if the meat product begins to deteriorate, the bacteria simply die and the glow disappears. Some experts argue that the glow is a kind of indicator that meat is free of putrefactive microorganisms. By the way, photobacteria are found in nature, this is the main reason why fireflies and deep-sea fish glow in the dark.
   
   

Agree, the first two reasons do not cause much trust. Despite the reassuring reports from the Silpo administration, I would think twice before buying meat products there again. If you want to buy really high-quality meat, we recommend you to familiarize yourself with important nuances that are worth paying attention to.
