How to distinguish glue-injected shrimp? What are the hazards of glue-injected shrimp?

1. The injected shrimp can be distinguished by appearance

When buying shrimps, you can look at their appearance. If the shrimp's head and body are particularly bulging, it is not recommended to buy them. They are likely to be injected shrimps. In addition, the shrimp's elasticity will increase after injection, and it will bounce back after being pressed. Normal shrimps do not have this reaction.

2. Identify the injected shrimp by looking at the shrimp head

Usually, you can also distinguish glue-injected shrimps by looking at the shrimp heads. The shrimp heads of injected shrimps are particularly easy to peel off, and after the shrimp heads are peeled off, only a mass of substance can be seen, and the real shrimp brain cannot be seen at all. This shows that glue-injected shrimps are not easy to buy and eat.

3. The harm of glue-injected shrimp

If the vendors inject gelatin, which is edible glue, into the shrimps, it will not cause any harm to the human body. It will only reduce the nutritional value of the shrimps and make people spend more money in vain. However, some unscrupulous vendors inject industrial glue into the shrimps. This substance is harmful to the human body. It contains a variety of heavy metals. These heavy metals cannot be excreted in time after entering the human body, which will damage people's five internal organs and induce a variety of diseases.
