Can the shells dug on the beach be eaten?

Under normal circumstances, shells dug on the beach are not suitable for eating. Although there are more shellfish in some coastal areas, when people want to eat seafood, they should choose a regular seafood market or franchise store to ensure health and safety.

First of all, shellfish on some beaches contain more pollutants, because pollution sources such as magnets and sewage are often discharged near beaches. However, seawater contains a lot of heavy metals and organic chemicals. If shellfish absorbs these harmful ingredients, it will affect our health.

Secondly, dried seashells, crabs and other seafood salvaged on the beach are often stored in the open air, exposed to high temperature, and the personnel are not disinfected and cleaned enough, which is easy to be infected with germs and bacteria, which in turn leads to health problems such as food poisoning.

-In addition, seafood such as shellfish on the beach may also be affected by factors such as sunlight, natural decay and seawater erosion, which will accelerate the appearance of shellfish exhaustion, obsolescence and decay. If we can't identify them in time when collecting or buying, we may eat these harmful shellfish, which will bring serious harm to our health.

Therefore, in order to protect our health, we should avoid eating shells on the beach. If eating fresh and natural shellfish is everyone's demand, choose a regular market and a seafood shop with brand protection to buy it. The general procurement, processing and storage are more professional and strict, so that you can enjoy delicious seafood with confidence and avoid food safety problems.
