I heard that crayfish sold outside are all washed with shrimp powder. Will the shrimps washed with shrimp powder eat kidney stones?

    You Jingjing, deputy head of the Nanjing Light Industry Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Nanjing Station, once tested a "washed shrimp powder" in Nanjing and determined that its main component is oxalic acid. The chemical is a colorless transparent crystal or white powder at room temperature. The special smell is a strong acid in organic acids, mainly used in industrial reducing agents and bleaching agents. Oxalic acid combines with calcium in food to produce calcium oxalate, which is easy to form kidney stones. If oxalic acid is ingested into the body for a long time in a small amount or a small amount, it will also affect the body.
