315 Food Safety Special Report: Analysis of the Hazards of Soaking Food in Hydrogen Peroxide; Food-Grade Hypochlorous Acid Water as a Safe Alternative

This year's 315 Gala exposed violations by several well-known chicken feet companies in Sichuan and Chongqing. The seemingly clean and appealing chicken feet on the market were found to be soaked in 35% industrial-grade hydrogen peroxide. The workshops in question were filthy and chaotic, with chicken feet piled up haphazardly and even trampled before being recycled for processing. Some workers were employed without health certificates, and company insiders admitted they "didn't eat them much."

This exposure not only highlights the problems of individual companies but also exposes the pain points of the food processing industry. Illegal chemicals such as industrial hydrogen peroxide, formaldehyde, and industrial caustic soda are being abused by some businesses at low cost to improve appearance and conceal inferior quality, seriously threatening public health. Food-grade hypochlorous acid is the optimal compliant solution to replace illegal disinfectants in the processing of meat, poultry, and seafood—safe, efficient, and worry-free.


The Xiaoya brand hypochlorous acid generator, developed by Shandong Xiaoya Group Small Appliances Co., Ltd., has obtained a medical device registration certificate (Shandong Medical Device Registration 20252110783). The hypochlorous acid it produces is a nationally recognized food-grade disinfectant, conforming to GB 28234-2020 and GB 2760-2024 standards. It is an ideal solution to replace industrial hydrogen peroxide for sterilization, deodorization, color protection, and preservation, with key advantages:

1. No heavy metals at the source, eliminating pollution: Pure hypochlorous acid is prepared through electrolysis, containing no heavy metals such as lead and arsenic, and without the addition of any industrial impurities, thus preventing food from being contaminated by heavy metals at the source.

2. Safe raw materials and no residue: Prepared on-site using patented electrolysis technology, without the need for harmful chemical additives. The disinfectant decomposes into only water, which has been professionally tested and found to be practically non-toxic. It can be used safely for food soaking and workshop disinfection, avoiding the risk of violations.

3. Highly effective disinfection, suitable for all scenarios: Hypochlorous acid is a WHO-certified broad-spectrum sterilizing ingredient that kills 99.99% of foodborne pathogens in 30 seconds, far exceeding the efficiency of traditional disinfectants. It is suitable for disinfection of all stages, including food raw material soaking, workshop environments, and processing equipment, without damaging the taste and nutrition of food or causing any odor. It can also be extended to drinking water, livestock farming, and other fields.

4. Intelligent and compliant, worry-free operation: Equipped with an industrial-grade intelligent control system and intelligent cloud control platform, it allows for real-time concentration adjustment from 10-200ppm and includes more than 12 scenario-based concentration schemes to accurately match different disinfection needs. The equipment operates stably, and its corrosion-resistant materials are suitable for high-temperature and high-humidity environments. It supports remote monitoring, fault self-diagnosis, and unattended operation, mitigating compliance risks while reducing labor management costs.

The 315 consumer rights day warning warns that the hydrogen peroxide incident involving chicken feet is not an isolated case. Companies that take chances by using substandard disinfectants will ultimately face regulatory scrutiny, suffering heavy losses and losing consumer trust. Little Duck hypochlorous acid generators are simple to operate and inexpensive. The hypochlorous acid water they produce helps maintain the natural color and flavor of food, upholding the bottom line of disinfection safety and helping businesses avoid disinfection risks.


Food disinfection compliance is an inevitable trend in the industry. Instead of risking the use of hydrogen peroxide, choose Little Duck hypochlorous acid generators to prepare safe and compliant hypochlorous acid water on-site. This safer and more efficient method protects food safety and strengthens brand reputation and the foundation for future development.
