It’s the Dragon Boat Festival again, and eating zongzi at the Dragon Boat Festival has become a custom of the Chinese people on the Dragon Boat Festival.
According to legend, in 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and doctor of the Chu State, faced the pain of subjugation. On May 5th, he threw a big stone into the Miluo River in grief and indignation. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from hurting his body, people packed rice in bamboo tubes. into the river. Since then, in order to express respect and remembrance for Qu Yuan, people put rice in bamboo tubes and throw them into the river every day to pay homage. This is the origin of the earliest rice dumpling in my country – “tube rice dumpling”. Later, people gradually used reed leaves instead of bamboo tubes to make zongzi, which is our common zongzi now.
With the development of the times, people tend to buy ready-made zongzi directly during the Dragon Boat Festival, which makes the supply of zongzi in short supply before and after the Dragon Boat Festival. In order to expand production and ensure food hygiene and safety, zongzi food factories emerged slowly.
In the food factory, in order to ensure food hygiene and safety, preparations for personnel disinfection are carried out before personnel enter the work workshop, such as cleaning and disinfection of hands, cleaning and disinfection of work boot soles, etc.
From the selection of raw and auxiliary materials to the final product, the entire process of producing zongzi is carried out under strict hygienic conditions. The staff will also regularly clean and disinfect the entire workshop.
Strict personnel and workshop hygiene control, let us eat safe and healthy rice dumplings, wear sachets, and race dragon boats to commemorate Qu Yuan during the Dragon Boat Festival.
