"I confirm!" Tian Chunhua nodded: "Our kindergarten is very strict with children and never allows children to eat snacks indiscriminately. If you don't believe it, you can ask those children if they eat snacks indiscriminately in the kindergarten.
"
"Director Tian, until the matter is investigated clearly, your kindergarten will be suspended. I hope you can cooperate." Ma Xiaoyao handed Tian Chunhua a notice of closure for rectification.
"Ah?" Tian Chunhua's expression changed: "How long will the business be suspended?"
"At least wait until the matter is investigated clearly. Okay, I'm going back to test these foods. I'll say goodbye first." After saying that, Ma Xiaoyao led Kong Liang and others out of the kindergarten. Before leaving, Ma Xiaoyao also took the students
All the meals we had for lunch were taken away.
Returning to the health bureau, Ma Xiaoyao immediately sent the food to the laboratory department for examination.
An hour later, the test results came out.
All the meals were basically up to standard, except for the ham, which was tested by health bureau staff and found to contain mercury.
Ma Xiaoyao read the test report carefully and asked the staff of the laboratory department: "Are you sure there is mercury in the ham?"
The staff nodded: "We have tested it three times and found that ham does contain a small amount of mercury. Its scientific name is liquid mercury. Liquid mercury is not easily absorbed by the human gastrointestinal tract, so eating a small amount will not cause much harm to the body. However,
If it is cooked, volatilized by heat and inhaled into the body, it may cause severe mercury poisoning. The ham brought back from the kindergarten has obviously been heated, steamed and stir-fried, so those students will be poisoned after eating it. Fortunately, it was discovered
We must do it in time, otherwise those children will be in danger."
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "How can mercury appear in ham meat?"
"I don't know about this, but I guess it may be caused by the manufacturer's negligence." The staff guessed.
Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Kong Liang: "Kong Liang, go to the hospital now to find out the reason for the poisoning of those children and see if they are mercury poisoning."
Kong Guangming nodded, turned around and strode away.
Ma Xiaoyao put away the test report, said hello to the staff of the laboratory department, and then led his two subordinates back to the kindergarten.
Seeing Ma Xiaoyao go and come back, director Tian Chunhua was stunned for a moment.
"Director Tian, where do you buy the ham in your school?" Ma Xiaoyao asked straightforwardly without being verbose.
"Ham?" Tian Chunhua was stunned: "Well... you have to ask the chef. They usually buy the meat for all the dishes."
"Then please call the chef over." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"The chef has gone home." Tian Chunhua said: "The kindergarten has suspended operations, so I asked the chefs and teachers to go home."
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Can you contact those chefs now? Ask them to come back!"
Tian Chunhua glanced at Ma Xiaoyao and asked doubtfully: "Is there something wrong with the ham?"
"We found mercury in the ham meat." Ma Xiaoyao didn't hide anything and directly told the test results.
"Ah?" Tian Chunhua's face changed: "Mercury? How is this possible!"
"I'm also surprised, but it's true. We did find mercury in the ham. If my guess is correct, those children ate the ham, which caused acute mercury poisoning." Ma Xiaoyao said expressionlessly.
"This..." Tian Chunhua looked a little panicked: "Comrade, we really didn't mean it, and we didn't know that ham meat contains mercury..."
Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Call the chef who bought the ham over and ask, and you will know what's going on."
"Yes, yes, I'll call the chefs now." Tian Chunhua came to her senses and hurriedly took out her mobile phone and started making calls.
At this moment, Kong Liang hurried to the kindergarten: "Deputy Section Chief Ma, I asked clearly. Those children do contain a small amount of mercury in their bodies. The doctor said that fortunately the children took less mercury. After cleaning their stomachs and disinfecting them,
, now the children are out of danger."
"It's really mercury poisoning." Ma Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
"The chefs will be here soon." Tian Chunhua hung up the phone and said to Ma Xiaoyao.
After more than ten minutes, two women came to the kindergarten in a hurry.
Tian Chunhua immediately said: "The two of them are the chefs of the kindergarten. They are usually responsible for the children's food. The tall one is Zhang Yuxiang and the short one is Song Yufen. They are both professional chefs."
"Did you buy the ham?" Ma Xiaoyao looked at Zhang Yuxiang and Song Yufen. The two women were about the same age, both around forty years old. Their looks were very ordinary, neither beautiful nor ugly.
Zhang Yuxiang nodded: "I bought all the ham."
"Where did you buy it?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"In the Huimin supermarket next to the kindergarten, I usually buy Yurun ham, but today Yurun ham was sold out. In the end, I had no choice but to buy some other brands of ham." Zhang Yuxiang replied.
"Let's go, now you take us to Huimin Supermarket to have a look." Ma Xiaoyao ordered.
"No problem." Zhang Yuxiang nodded, turned around and led Ma Xiaoyao and others out of the kindergarten. Even Tian Chunhua followed.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yuxiang stopped in front of a supermarket: "This is the supermarket."
Ma Xiaoyao raised his head and took a look, and found that the supermarket was quite large. Through the glass door, he could clearly see that the supermarket was filled with shelves. There were piles of various things on the shelves. Under the glass
There is a sign hanging on the door with the four characters "Huimin Supermarket" written on it.
"Let's go in." Ma Xiaoyao opened the glass door first and walked into the supermarket.
Zhang Yuxiang, Kong Liang and others hurriedly followed.
A salesperson came over and greeted Ma Xiaoyao and others politely: "I wonder what you guys want to buy?"
Ma Xiaoyao took out his ID: "I am from the Food Safety Department of the Health Bureau. Please call your boss over."
The salesperson was stunned for a moment: "Ah, please wait a moment." After saying that, the salesperson turned around and left quickly.
After a while, a man in his thirties walked out of the inner room, followed by the salesperson who had just left.
"I am the owner of this supermarket. My name is Liu Zitong. I wonder if some of you who came to my supermarket are..." The man introduced himself.
Ma Xiaoyao handed his ID to Liu Zitong: "I'm from the Food Safety Section of the Health Bureau, and I'm here to investigate something."
Liu Zitong glanced at the ID, and his expression suddenly became respectful: "It turns out to be Deputy Section Chief Ma, welcome, welcome." As he spoke, Liu Zitong returned the ID to Ma Xiaoyao. The Food Safety Section of the Health Bureau is the department in charge of supermarkets.
Of course Liu Zitong should be more polite.
Ma Xiaoyao put away his ID and said, "Boss Liu, you should know that there is an art kindergarten nearby, right?"
Liu Zitong nodded: "I know, what's wrong?"
"Today at noon, many students in the kindergarten developed diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness and other symptoms, and were sent to the hospital to be diagnosed with food poisoning." Ma Xiaoyao said: "After our health bureau tested the food in the kindergarten, we finally found the root cause of the food poisoning.
.”
Liu Zitong raised his eyebrows: "What is it?"
"Ham." Ma Xiaoyao took out a test report from his bag and handed it to Liu Zitong: "After testing, it was found that the ham contains a small amount of liquid mercury, which is commonly known as mercury. This mercury will form a dramatic form when heated.
Poison, the children in the kindergarten got food poisoning after consuming steamed, stir-fried and heated ham. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the amount of mercury the children took was not much. After the doctors' rescue, the children were cured.
Everything is out of danger." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao paused, and then continued: "And this kind of ham containing mercury was purchased from your supermarket."
"Impossible!" Liu Zitong became anxious when he heard this: "How could the ham sold in our supermarket contain mercury? This is absolutely impossible!" No wonder Liu Zitong was anxious. If the news about ham containing mercury got out, it would probably never happen again.
People dare to go to his supermarket to buy things.
"Boss Liu, whether you believe it or not, it is true." Ma Xiaoyao pointed at Zhang Yuxiang: "I wonder if Boss Liu knows her?"
Liu Zitong glanced at Zhang Yuxiang and nodded: "I know her. She often goes to my supermarket to buy things. She seems to be the chef of the art kindergarten."
"Zhang Yuxiang, please tell Boss Liu what happened." Ma Xiaoyao nodded to Zhang Yuxiang.
"I bought those hams containing mercury from this supermarket. By the way, I also have the shopping invoice from the supermarket." Zhang Yuxiang took out a shopping invoice from his pocket and handed it to Liu Zitong.
Liu Zitong hesitantly took the shopping invoice, took a look at it, and his face suddenly turned ugly. There were indeed ten hams on the shopping invoice.
"Boss Liu, please take us to the place where ham is sold." Ma Xiaoyao's tone was quite kind.
Liu Zitong did not refute this time, just nodded and led Ma Xiaoyao and others to the area where ham was sold.
From east to west, there are several shelves filled with ham. A rough count shows that there are dozens of brands.
"Zhang Yuxiang, which brand of ham are you buying?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Zhang Yuxiang pointed to a shelf opposite: "It's this kind of windy season ham."
Ma Xiaoyao picked up a Fengji ham and took a look at it. He found that the production address was not marked on the ham package, and there was not even a sales phone number. There were only four characters "Fengji ham" on the big packaging bag, and there were also some
Not to mention the methods and precautions for using ham, the packaging alone is already unqualified.
