Shiver With Pure … Ice Water

Most pubs, restaurants ... use pure stone instead of ice, shaved ice as before. However, the fact is that not all pure branded stones are pure stones

.
Soil, sand, dirt .. mixed in pure stone
10:00 am at a large-scale ice making workshop in Trung Van village, Tu Liem, Hanoi, four ice making machines rumble.



The other called the other person to shout out loud The factory is located right next to the black water ditch and stink. Stone sacks for transportation to bars in Tu Liem, Thanh Xuan and Ha Dong areas are dried on the roadside. The cement floor is covered with soil and sand.
When a batch of ice came out, dozens of people waited to collect it. Look closely, the stone molds, knives, ice water tanks ...



all have yellowing, rust. The source of ice is pumped directly from the well to the machine. Rock out of the kiln, the naked young men, shorts picked up the plastic pipe and threw it on the floor, covered with sand, kicked down the funnel after the stone cut the member. After the stone is put into a plastic bag, the ice bag with the right amount will be put neatly into the bag with the address of production, the volume, etc. All the soil and sand are put in plastic bags again. The price of stone here is quite cheap, only 5,000 VND / 5kg bag.
Not only the clean stone factory in Tu Liem makes people shudder at the ice making stage, but many other pure stone factories also do not guarantee safety and hygiene.
Ms.



U's pure stone production facility is located in an alley on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street, Hanoi. From the inlet into the production area, the water flows smoothly. The workshop was about twenty square meters wide, the inside of the floor wet. In front of the workshop of a black stream of water, the mistress took the brooms and brushed them away to dry quickly. The bag of ice after the oven is thrown into a corner next to the door, just near the aisle for guests to buy right away. Here the price of 5kg stone bag is 6,000 VND.
After a brief question about the stone production stage, we offered to go to the live view and the owner stopped it immediately. Meanwhile, a female worker dressed in a T-shirt, pants, barefoot came from the street to check the machine and the time for the new batch was called by the owner.



'Get in the slippers,' they are going to check these days, 'Ms. U reminded the staff.
Pure or incubation place?
According to Nguyen Viet Cuong, chief inspector of the Hanoi Department of Health, every year the Department of Health also took stones from production facilities to inspect. Most pure stone production facilities draw water from producing purified water to make ice with technology of 50-60 minutes / batch. The city has several hundred stone production facilities, but only a few dozen are certified to produce clean stones.
Before the summer production facilities always do the first batch of products to test. If qualified, the authorities will issue a certificate of clean stone production. During the inspection process, if any establishment violates food hygiene and safety, it will be handled according to regulations.



However, Mr. Cuong did not disclose whether from the beginning of summer until now, whether any pure stone production facilities have been fined yet.
Doctor Yen Lam Phuc, 103 Military Hospital, said that unhygienic stone has two types of stone are contaminated and mixed with chemical impurities. For contaminated rocks, during freezing of the ice (1-4 degrees Celsius), some bacteria are only deactivated. When ingested inside, bacteria will work again, causing digestive tract infections and this causes intestinal infection, food poisoning.
'When using stones with chemical impurities, they will easily penetrate into the user's body, not to mention chemicals used to purify water if too high doses will also affect the digestive system of the muscles. can cause many complications such as chronic colitis, affecting kidney function, liver irritation of the stomach ..



.
Specifically, if the water has too much calcium - magnesium (hard water - well water) when used long will cause kidney stones. Other types of impurities can cause lead toxicity, neurological. ‘Industrial stone uses hard, unfiltered water. Most of the stone production process is not hygienic, '' Phuc said.
According to Dr. Phuc, people should use ice made by their own house, use boiled water to cool to eliminate ions and toxic impurities. With the external stones, the user cannot confirm how the origin is, how it is made, so it does not guarantee safety for his health.




Meanwhile, Mr. Cuong recommended, people should buy ice cubes packed in plastic bags, with the name of the pure stone manufacturing establishment. This stone has a circle or cylinder depending on the stone mold of each facility. People absolutely do not use tree ice because this type of stone is not clean, only used to marinate raw food.
