Question

Jianbing guozi（煎饼果子）has long been one of the most popular street snacks in China – many people enjoy eating it for breakfast with a cup of warm soy milk. But according to a new set of standards, we may not have been eating “real” jianbing guozi at all.

On May 26, the Tianjin Catering Industry Association introduced a set of standards that say how jianbing guozi should be made. Tianjin is believed to be the birthplace of the snack.

The new standards say that the snack should be made with mung bean flour, eggs and scallions (葱). And it should be between 38 and 45 centimeters in diameter. They also state that its packaging should show the snack’s expiry date (有效期) and the name, address and phone number of its maker.

Jianbing guozi is a traditional food that’s sold all over China, and it’s even started to become popular in other countries. However, the way the snack is prepared in different regions varies. While traditional jianbing guozi often consists of a pancake and eggs, sea cucumber, hotdog sausage or even squid (鱿鱼) are sometimes added in some places.

“Different street sellers all have various ways to cook jianbing guozi, but they don’t care about how to develop it better for the future. They just focus on making money,” Song Guanming, chairman of the Tianjin Catering Industry Association’s jianbing guozi branch, told The Telegraph. Song believes that the new standards will preserve the traditional flavor of the snack.

However, the introduction of the standards has raised heated debate among Chinese internet users. Some believe that part of the fun of eating jianbing guozi is that its flavor varies by seller, but the rules will destroy its variety, according to The New York Times.

In response, Song explained that the standards would not be strictly carried out. “It’s not our aim to make it standard like KFC fast food,” Song told China Daily. “We just aim to better regulate the cooking process, techniques and safety of this time-honored Tianjin snack in its hometown.”
