It was revealed that Qia Qia melon seeds contained sulfur dioxide residues. Many netizens expressed disbelief. After all, the melon seeds they have been eating for so many years are all Qia Qia. Currently, Qia Qia’s official flagship store is still selling this type of melon seeds, saying that there is no problem and it has not been taken off the shelves. The editor is a little worried about people who are eating the melon seeds, wondering if there will be any harm.

What's the matter with the sulfur dioxide residue in Qia Qia melon seeds?

Recently, Qia Qia melon seeds were included in the unqualified blacklist by the Beijing Municipal Administration for Market Regulation, among which the small and fragrant creamy watermelon seeds were on the blacklist. The unqualified item was the residual sulfur dioxide. However, in the official flagship store of Qia Qia Food, the unqualified melon seeds are still on sale, with monthly sales exceeding 4,000. The customer service staff of the official flagship store said that the results of the spot check are still uncertain, but emphasized that the food in the store meets national standards.

Can Qia Qia melon seeds still be eaten?

Qia Qia melon seeds contain sulfur dioxide residues. Do you think they are edible? But this is only for the fragrant and creamy melon seeds. Other melon seeds should be fine! Anyway, I dare not eat Qia Qia melon seeds anymore. Let's see when they can rectify the situation! The main reason is that the melon seeds with this flavor have not been removed from the shelves yet. It feels like a black-hearted merchant.

However, some netizens said that they did not know the basis of the testing standard for this product, but the converted sulfur dioxide is 22mg/kg. Whether in the pharmaceutical or food industry, data below 30mg/kg cannot accurately determine the sulfur content of the product. Because the test results of pure sulfur-free products are sometimes not 0. However, even if this value does not meet the standard, you can eat it with confidence.

How to quickly dry boiled melon seeds

1. If the outdoor temperature is high in the summer, you can dry it outside in the sun. Remember to spread it out when drying so that it can be heated evenly.

2. If the outdoor temperature is not particularly high, even if exposed to the sun, the skin of the melon seeds will dry, but the kernels will still contain moisture and will not become brittle.

3. Pour the boiled melon seeds into the pot and stir-fry continuously over low heat. This will not only absorb the moisture in the melon seeds, but also make them crispy. Just use low heat, otherwise they will burn.
