Recently, topics such as "Zhong Xuegao", a high-priced ice cream in China, "not melted after 1 hour" and "burned with fire" have been trending on Weibo. The public questioned that the brand of ice cream contains additives that are harmful to health. Zhong Xuegao issued a statement in response, but it caused more doubts.
Recently, several videos on the Internet have shown that the "Zhong Xuegao" ice cream will not melt for an hour at a high temperature of 31 °C. Some people burned it with a lighter, and the ice cream was scorched and did not melt.

Netizens questioned, "Is this ice cream or snow glue?" "Who dares to eat ice cream that won't melt?"
Zhong Xuegao's company responded on 2 July 2022 that Zhong Xuegao's ice cream had high solid content and little water, so it did not melt.
On 6 July 2022, Zhong Xuegao also issued a statement saying that carrageenan was added to the ice cream, and an appropriate amount of carrageenan helped the ice cream to maintain a relatively stable state, and the added amount met the national standard.
"We believe that it is unscientific to judge the quality of ice cream by baking, drying or heating it," the statement added.
However, netizens did not buy Zhong Xuegao's statements, and they all ridiculed: "I just added an appropriate amount of carrageenan to increase the taste, and new materials for fire, water, and heat insulation are here!" "Oh, there are no gold bars in it, but why am I? It costs more than 20 to buy carrageenan."
Zhong Xuegao is known as a "luxury" in ice cream, and it sells for tens of Dollars. The public mocks it as an "ice cream assassin" because it is mixed with cheap ice cream and sold, accidentally attracting consumers.
In addition, Zhong Xuegao advertised that the price of the ice cream is expensive because of the special raw materials. Now Zhong Xuegao ice cream has been exposed as "high temperature does not melt" and "burning", netizens ridiculed: "So the reason for the high price is the additive?" "It's not the price of ice cream, but the price of glue." Black technology that has never come later."
Some netizens ridiculed: "No wonder Zhong Xuegao's shop called 'melting and refunding'. Originally thought it was a confident cold chain and a good after-sales service, but now I find that the additives are well added."

New virus spreads faster, Xi'an closed for 7 days
The Shaanxi Provincial CDC announced on 5 July 2022 that the nucleic acid samples of the local outbreak in Xi'an were detected as the BA.5.2 branch of the Omicron variant virus.
The variant virus discovered in Xi'an this time is not the first case in China. The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention disclosed at the end of May that the first case of infection with the BA.5 branch of the Omicron variant virus was found in Shanghai, which was officially called an imported case at that time but what Xi'an discovered this time was a local case.
Shaanxi's "Sanqin Metropolis Daily" reported that the Xi'an CDC introduced that the epidemic showed obvious clustering, and the source was not yet clear. Moreover, the BA.5.2 branch of the popular Omicron variant strain spreads faster and is more contagious than other circulating variant strains. "The epidemic situation is severe and complex, and it cannot be ruled out that new transmission chains will appear in the future, causing the high risk of continued transmission in the community.".
The Xi'an Municipal Government announced in the afternoon of 5 July that from 6 July, Xi'an will be "temporarily controlled" for 7 days but officials do not recognize this as a city closure. Prior to this, Xi'an had been locked down twice due to the outbreak.
