The reporter opened an e-commerce platform and searched for corn, finding that most of the corn was crushed and used for making animal feed.

The reporter then consulted experts, who said that corn is a coarse grain that is difficult to digest, and the phytic acid it contains can also affect the absorption of minerals.
They say that food is the most important thing for the people, but who would have thought that corn dregs could be mixed into porridge and rice, and be placed on the table so openly? This undoubtedly sounds the alarm for the general customers.

Many of them were products that were similar to or imitations of well-known IPs. 9 machines had dolls with labels such as "qualified certificate," but these "qualified certificates" did not have production information and only reminded consumers to remove accessories from the dolls when using them.
