Complain About Seeds in Mixue Bingcheng Lemonade; Customer Laughs at the Sight; Official Response: No Food Safety Issue
A Mixue Bingcheng store in Hefei, China, received a complaint regarding lemon seeds in its lemonade, causing a bitter taste. Market regulators are involved, with the customer requesting seed removal prior to serving. While lemon slices are freshly cut on-site, employees avoid direct contact with the pulp for hygiene reasons, making seed removal difficult. Officials stated that the seeds do not pose a food safety risk. Mixue Bingcheng is known for its affordable offerings, with iced lemon water priced around 4 yuan.
