I. Criteria and methods for selecting delicious, clean, and food safety-assured mooncakes

1. Be cautious with handmade mooncakes and cheap varieties

Typically, handmade cakes, especially those made with inexpensive ingredients, often contain various additives and flavorings, making it difficult to ensure proper dosages. Consuming cakes with excessive additives can pose health risks.

Moreover, consuming mooncakes with numerous artificial colors and chemicals can lead to symptoms such as nausea and stomach pain. In the long term, there is a risk of developing cancer.

2. Choose cakes with clear origins

Most delicious and high-quality mooncakes are those clearly labeled with the manufacturing unit and address. Regardless of the brand, it's essential to select cakes with specific manufacturing addresses, rather than relying solely on the brand name.

3. Packaging

Choosing cakes with intact packaging and unbroken glass layers is essential for selecting delicious cakes. Additionally, images and logos on the packaging should be clear and not blurred. Pay attention to the expiration date and production date on the packaging to select freshly produced products, avoiding purchasing products nearing expiration or with torn packaging.

4. Brand

For consumers, it's advisable to choose cakes from reputable brands with manufacturing addresses. Typically, reputable and well-known brands are recognized by regulatory authorities for ensuring food safety, so you can purchase them for personal use or as gifts. You can opt for cakes from brands like Kinh Đô, Madam Hương, Hữu Nghị, Givral, etc.

5. Cake Filling

According to consumer experience, delicious mooncakes are uniformly golden and slightly rich in color. Baked cakes should have a soft crust and a distinctive aroma. As for the cake filling, it should be soft, rich in flavor from Chinese sausage, ham, etc. For sticky rice cakes, they should have a scent of green beans and lotus seeds.

For baked cakes, choose ones with softness and elasticity when lightly pressed, and with a moderate shine. Avoid overly shiny cakes, as they are typically made using older methods. For sticky rice cakes, select ones with a thin layer of flour on the outside, feeling soft but not sticky when lightly pressed.

II. Cake Preservation and Usage

To maintain the flavor of mooncakes as fresh as the day you bought them, follow the guidelines below.

- Store according to the instructions printed on the packaging.

- Keep the cakes in a clean place, securely covered to avoid exposure to sunlight, rain, dust, or insects.

- Only consume cakes within their expiration date, without deformation, intact packaging, no musty smell, or color distortion.

- Before cutting and eating the cake, ensure your hands are thoroughly washed.

- To avoid digestive issues, refrain from consuming excessive cakes along with foods high in fat, sugar, or protein.

- If you experience any unusual symptoms while eating, seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment.
