Beautiful, transparent glass will emit dazzling light in the sun, but behind the dazzling is cold, sharp and even dazzling blood. If glass is eaten in food, most consumers will be shocked in a cold sweat.

Since the last century, glass packaging has become another new favorite in the food industry. Canned food, pickles, beverages, and condiments have been covered with glass. Using glass for food packaging is not only low cost, easy to make and fill, but also clean, intuitive, and high in cycle utilization.

"The metal foreign body has stuck to the gums, and it is still swollen...", on October 15, 2010, Ms. Che from Zibo, Shandong reluctantly complained to the Food Safety Online Complaint Center, claiming that she was eating Guangdong Chaosheng olive vegetables. , I accidentally ate the metal foreign body hidden in the olive vegetable. The glass stuck into the gums can also be said to be a blessing in misfortune. If the consumer accidentally eats it, the consequences are really unimaginable. The gums were swollen, hurting people and money. In the end, although the manufacturer compensated for the medical expenses, this matter is still a lingering fear. Ms. Che said that she should be very careful about eating in the future. What is going on with metal foreign objects mixed in glass-packaged food? Where did this metal foreign body come from? The manufacturer did not give an explanation.

Just a few days later, Mr. Wang from Xinmin City, Liaoning also encountered a situation similar to that of Ms. Che. This time it was not olive vegetables but Laoganma chili sauce. According to Mr. Wang’s description, he felt a “click” in his teeth when he ate the chili sauce, but when he spit it out, he found it was a metal foreign body. Mr. Wang checked the bottle carefully, but did not find any gaps. I really don't know where the metal foreign body came from? After the Food Safety Online Complaint Center stepped in, the clerk responsible for handling complaints explained that it was possible that the pepper was smashed with metal foreign objects. The editor thinks that this explanation is a bit far-fetched. Isn't the peppers to be screened in advance? Why are there metal foreign bodies in it? Is screening just a line?

On May 30, 2010, Ms. Yin, a consumer in Fumeng, Liaoning, also encountered a similar incident. She ate a metal foreign body while eating canned crispy octopus produced by Dalian Kuishi Food Co., Ltd., and her mouth was punctured and bleeding. What makes Ms. Yin angry is that the manufacturer turned a blind eye to the situation, which is more heartbreaking than being stabbed by a metal foreign body.

Where did the metal foreign objects in the food come from? Where is the problem? So many consumer complaints not only tell companies to take responsibility, but also hope that companies can realize the substantive problems of the product from the incident, strengthen supervision, and use this as a lesson.

In the complaints received by the Food Safety Online Complaint Center, there are many victims who have eaten glass in food. Some packages are directly glass bottles, but some packages are incompatible with metal foreign objects, such as big cream. There are metal foreign bodies in the melon seeds, metal foreign bodies in the ternary milk, etc. Why are there glass in these products that do not touch the metal foreign bodies? Where did the metal foreign body come from?
