Do you dare to eat this ice cream? What does it contain? More Chinese foods are scaring the world

  • Ice cream not melting under heat goes against human experience. The public has therefore asked a series of questions such as: How come it doesn't melt under heat? What is added to it? Is it safe to consume? Overseas consumers who want to experiment with the ice cream mentioned earlier can buy it on Taobao, a Chinese shopping site.
    China ranks first in the production of xanthan gum globally. You may not have heard of it, but you and your family have probably had it, as they are prevalent in a wide range of imported Chinese foods. It is also used extensively in industries such as paints, fire extinguishers, toothpaste, cosmetics, ceramics, paper, printing and dyeing, and petroleum.
    It is a sticky agent similar to the carrageenan used in the non-meltable ice cream mentioned at the beginning. When a little is added to fruit juice and milk, it turns them into jam and yogurt.
    Have questions? Do you have something to share with us about China? We want to hear from you!

      The claim of Carrageenan is interesting, because that is used all over the world, Ben and Jerry's use it. While Carrageenan would indeed slow the speed of ice cream melting, to be able to torch and burn it, seems there is more going on than the company admits too, that or an excessive amount was used. It is an extract from red seaweed.

    I work in a big food factory in California and the amount of sanitation and testing that goes into our food is insane. Every ingredient we buy requires a certificate of analysis which is basically an extensive lab test that proves the ingredients are safe. The factory itself has to be extremely clean and the lines are constantly washed. If someone were to get sick from the food, they could sue which could cost the company millions, or even billions of dollars and would ruin the company's reputation. It's crazy how these Chinese companies get away with this.

      I mean, it is kind of a laughing matter. Carrageenan is completely harmless and is the reason cheap ice creams like Great Value brand from WalMart have a bit of a weird texture and melt funny. It's a thickening agent derived from red seaweed that's been extensively studied since it first saw common use in the 1950s. This company just seems to be using a lot more than is in Great Value.

    I'm from New Zealand and I remember with the melamine scandal, NZ was heavily involved because it was alleged that one of the factories adding the chemical had purchased NZ milk as one of their raw ingredients to incorporate, and were trying to pin the problem on NZ company Fonterra (biggest milk company & exporter) and if forced them to do extensive and very expensive tests to prove the issue wasn't at Fonterra's end. It wasn't (obviously) and I think that Fonterra subsequentally sued, like,,, everyone involved.... and then that caused a minor incident because china is one of NZ's largest trading partners.... yikes, is all I say.

      FWIW, most of the health problems China has are localized to China. Everyone else has standards that must be met for that imported food to meet - and even China has to meet that standard, or they get turned away.
      Also, interestingly, the carrageenan/non-burning-ice cream stuff are both misunderstandings of some mundane chemistry and both are safe to eat. Or, at least, not dangerous for the reasons stated.
      Yes, weirdly enough, non-melting ice cream is normal - but only when exposed to extremely high temperatures. Basically it evaporates, rather than melts. It doesn't look like anything is going away but if you keep it up you'll eventually notice it shrinking. The "burning" is just chemicals from the lighter getting onto the food.

    I lived in China for 5 years and I knew about the food scams before I went. I tried to always eat in reputable restaurants and even McDonalds and avoided any kind of street food or food from odd, small restaurants. I would learn while living in Shanghai that even reputable places fall victim to fake & contaminated foods, foods with fake labels (like Australian beef in a grocery store that's not actually Australian beef). When I moved away last year, I discovered that my liver function was way, way outside of normal. It's a scary thing and my feeling is that it was caused there. I've been away for a year now and I'll wait another year and be retested. I hope it gets better. I very truly feel for the Chinese people. The CCP is completely incompetent and appears to have very little interest in protecting the population from nefarious people.

      @Thisis Gettinboring Yep. They have local buyers called "Daigou" (a personal professional shopper). These women generally will go into supermarkets and raid the products of the day, like baby formula / gloves / masks etc. whatever is hot and in demand back in China by the well off. They have multiple people, and will take as much as they can get usually, because the more they can get and ship, the more profit they can make. If left unrestricted, they will clear the shelves in minutes / hours, as they get there first thing in the morning etc. They target certain brands, but will sometimes take the lower profit items too.
      With the baby formula they will get the receipt, and stick that to the formula can before shipping, to prove it was bought in Australia etc. and that it is not fake (there is an industry in China in fake formula cans etc). They might buy it here for $20-30 then re-sell it to the Chinese buyer for $90 or $100, minus whatever shipping costs. Lately the more organized businesses upped their game, and just buy pallets of baby formula on consignment, and re-export it to rich Chinese buyers. Intercepting it before it enters the local supply chain.
      In boom times, they will go to multiple shopping centres if there are buyer limits so they can get as much as possible. The baby formula shelves were often empty here with Western women walking around complaining they couldn't get the baby formula they needed, sometimes the supermarket staff would hold back some cans. It wasn't that there was a shortage of formula as such, the supermarkets just don't have loads of pallets sitting around, they need to ship / truck them in from the suppliers like Bellamy's Organic. etc.
      They also tried buying out toilet paper and re-selling that for a profit locally, during the pandemic, but don't think that went as well. One woman was busted with a house crammed full of it... hah.

    Just wanted to add- I used to work in the food industry. Xantham gum is very commonly used as a thickener outside of China too. It's used to conserve consistency. Like you know if you make a sauce and some of the heavier ingredients settle out, this gum stops that. So yeah I guarantee some sort of thickener is used in tomato sauce, bbq sauce, etc. You have definitely eaten this before.

    These food videos have shocked me.
    It surprised me how many food items that i have in my (Dutch) pantry have Chinese ingredients in them.
    I had some pre-mixed spice bottles for potatoes, meat, and chicken that were packaged in China, containing (probably Chinese) salt and garlic.
    I also bought like 25 cans of Chicken Chow Mein (Bami Goreng) from Aldi with "Ingredients of diverse origins (EU and NON-EU).
    The Chow Mein contains Xanthan Gum and is most likely Chinese...
    I also had Mayonnaise and Mustard from obscure and major brands containing either (EU additive) thickening agents E-415 or E-407, which are Carrageenan and Xanthan Gum.
    I've gone through my entire pantry and thrown out all the foods that have these imported additive ingredients.
    I've thrown out about 40lbs of food stuffs that i was still planning to eat, which turned out to be sketchy.
    This video and others like it have greatly alerted me to ingredients to avoid, and how to REALLY CRITICALLY look at the food i buy.
    Thanks so much!

      Honestly, your risk with additives like Carrageenan (it's seaweed!) and Xanthan Gum are low. Meat products and milk products are the most at risk, and I would never ever buy canned meat products. You don't know what has gone into them. Same with pate and meat paste, sausage, fishballs and minced meat.

    • @DisgruntledArtist
      @DisgruntledArtist Рік тому +31

      FWIW, most of the health problems China has are localized to China. Everyone else has standards that must be met for that imported food to meet - and even China has to meet that standard, or they get turned away.
      Also, interestingly, the carrageenan/non-burning-ice cream stuff are both misunderstandings of some mundane chemistry and both are safe to eat. Or, at least, not dangerous for the reasons stated.
      Yes, weirdly enough, non-melting ice cream is normal - but only when exposed to extremely high temperatures. Basically it evaporates, rather than melts. It doesn't look like anything is going away but if you keep it up you'll eventually notice it shrinking. The "burning" is just chemicals from the lighter getting onto the food.

      The real smoking gun is leaving it at 30C for over an hour. There has to be an immense amount of chemical fuckery for them to have "achieved" that.

    I went to China in the 1990's before it changed to the "modern" way of life. It was in Beijing, we ate at this restaurant that was supposed to have good reviews and the food was indeed good. Before we left I popped into the kitchen to have a look at the "facilities". My God I was shocked, dirty, smelly, horrible place in every possible way you could think off, badly lit, painted in many different colours that was flaking down the also black and moldy walls, it looked like it could have been a cellar used for decades of torture in a forgotten back street of Moscow. I could not believe that the food had come out of this place. And this was a place with "good reputation"?? I understood that the Chinese mentality of food hygiene was totally different from what I was used to, I still believe the Chinese are far behind on these matters, I have never gone back to China, and will never do either, the way the country is run and managed is a disgrace to humanity.

    What Is Carrageenan?
    Carrageenan is an extract from a red seaweed commonly known as Irish Moss. This edible seaweed is native to the British Isles, where it's been used in traditional cooking for hundreds of years. It's also widely used in the food industry, mostly as a thickener and gelling agent. You'll find it in ice cream, cottage cheese, non-dairy milks, jelly, pudding, and infant formula. Unlike gelatin, which is made from animal products, carageenan is appropriate for vegans.
    Who would have thought that this ancient, natural, plant-based ingredient would become center of a swirling controversy? But it certainly has. Some scientists have presented evidence that carrageenan is highly inflammatory and toxic to the digestive tract, and claim that it may be reponsible for colitis, IBS, rheumatoid arthritis, and even colon cancer. Equally respected scientists have detailed the reasons that this evidence is flawed and misleading, concluding that there is no valid reason to ban its use.

    One detail to note that was left somewhat unclear in the video: Carrageenan has a degree of scientific evidence pointing towards its health hazards. Xanthan gum however does not have any such evidence, the only health hazard currently known involving it would be something like these Chinese imported foods where either something toxic was mixed in or the food processing was otherwise unsafe (e.g. salmonella contamination). Xanthan gum produced through normal, healthy means is approved for human consumption in both the EU and US. There's no need to be alarmed just because something has xantham gum in it, but it should raise questions about the origins of the ingredients seeing how China is the largest exporter of it. In the end it's just one ingredient used in food processing, there are many others that work very similarly that are used widely in the business as well.
