Chef’s brand, Yupinhuang were found to be banned veterinary drugs in Europe
One of the key points of the Consumer Council’s test is the nitrofurazone metabolite SEM. SEM may disrupt the chondrocytes of experimental animals, degenerate articular cartilage, and deform the limbs. It is a banned veterinary drug in Europe. This time, it was found that SEM was detected in Yupinhuang, al fresco and Chef brand (commonly known as chef sausage), and the content was 4.0 micrograms, 6.1 micrograms and 14 micrograms per kilogram respectively, which all exceeded the current EU action reference point (1.0 micrograms per kilogram).
Only 1 star rating, in addition to being detected as a banned veterinary drug in Europe, the sodium content is as high as 800 mg per 100 grams.
American-made sausages only get 2 stars in the test, just slightly better than the 1-star chef’s sausage.
