White glutinous rice dumplings will turn red when cooked. Are there any hidden dangers in food quality?

Tangyuan, also known as Yuanxiao, is a traditional food in China, which means reunion and happiness. The skin of white glutinous rice dumplings turns red after cooking, which may be due to stuffing problems or food quality safety hazards.

2. There are potential safety hazards in food quality: when the glutinous rice balls are contaminated by Flavobacterium fermented rice, or the glutinous rice balls have expired and deteriorated, the skin will turn red after cooking.

Patients with mild poisoning may have symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting and fever; If the poisoning is serious, it may cause meningitis, leukemia, pneumonia, liver function damage, unconsciousness, convulsions and even death.
