Bleaching ink with hydrogen peroxide, the director said he didn't know about the employee doing it himself

In recent days, along with many worrying information about the COVID-19 epidemic, people have to bear another worry, which is dirty food. I thought it was safe to stay at home to f.ight the epidemic, but the danger came from meals on the kitchen.

As usual, the woman working at the seafood business pulled out a bottle of hydrogen peroxide from the corner of her house and poured it into a barrel to bleach the ink. But before he could pick it up, the plainclothes economic police force of the Ba Dinh District Police approached and caught the violation. The hydrogen peroxide bottle has been used up for most of the ink removal times, only about 30ml left at the bottom of the bottle.

Captain Nguyen Duc Thanh, Ba Dinh District Police, Hanoi said: "The working group directly discovered that Huong was preparing and using hydrogen peroxide, this behavior was caught red-handed."

Working with the authorities, this woman confessed that her name was Huong, working for Minh Phat seafood business. With a salary of 300,000 VND/day, this person is responsible for preliminarily processing and bleaching ink to deliver to restaurants and eateries in Hanoi. Ms. Huong also admitted that she has repeatedly used hydrogen peroxide to clean the stench and bleach the ink, even though she knew this chemical was not allowed to be used in the food processing process.

"Put a little in to make it white, people give it easily. It has black stains here, I just put it in white," said Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, an employee of Minh Phat seafood business.

According to the recommendation of the employees of this facility, this is industrial hydrogen peroxide, which is very corrosive and bleaching. Therefore, this young man had to wear rubber gloves up to his wrists before putting his hands in the barrel to mix the solution to soak up the squids. Knowing that it is toxic, the seller advised the reporter to rather eat the rotten squid lying on the ground than to eat the chemically soaked squid.

Although advised not to eat, but every night, the staff of this establishment impregnated a ton of ink with chemicals. The next morning, the rotten squid that have been enchanted become clean white, ready to be placed on a tray to be sold in the market. To add freshness, this woman continues to add chemicals to the tray before selling.

Although trading in all kinds of frozen foods, at the time of inspection, this establishment could only present a business registration certificate, without a certificate of food safety as prescribed by law. According to the testimony of the employees working here, the use of industrial hydrogen peroxide to bleach the ink is under the direction of Ms. Dang Thu Ha - the director of this facility.

- Did Mrs. Ha know about this cleaning?

- You certainly know.

However, when asked to work with the authorities, Ms. Ha - the director of this facility completely denied the employee's testimony. Although the chemical bleaching of ink takes place every day at this facility, the manager denied responsibility, blaming the staff.

"The fact that she uses hydrogen peroxide is completely unknown to me, this is due to the needs of the customer. The amount of hydrogen peroxide she put in the product today was her request from the customer, not just me. religion," said Mrs. Ha.

Perhaps the salary of 300,000 VND/day is too high, making the employees of this establishment so diligent that they ask for hydrogen peroxide on the day and day to pour in bleaching ink even though the owner does not ask. At the scene, the authorities sealed 30kg of ink that had just been bleached with chemicals and a plastic bottle containing hydrogen peroxide solution, and at the same time took the testimony of the related subjects to strictly handle according to the provisions of the law. the law.

With this trick, every day tons of dirty squid are transported to many restaurants, eateries and markets in Hanoi, despite the risk of unsafety to consumers' health.
