It is reported that recently, a video of netizens taking selfies was circulated in the local WeChat group in jingshan county, Jingmen City, Hubei Province. The self-portrait woman appeared, and by means of identification such as washing and burning, she showed that two Jin of fluffy bread bought in a pastry shop in Qianchang Town was made of cotton. Later, the content of the shot was verified as a rumor, and the woman who made the rumor was administratively punished by the police for spreading rumors.

According to the report, the selfie video was released around May 26, and the selfie woman revealed that two Jin of fluffy bread bought in a pastry shop in Qianchang Town was made of cotton by means of identification such as washing and burning. After the video was exposed, a large number of clicks and forwards were triggered in a short time, which triggered some citizens' panic reaction to food safety and had a certain negative impact on the local non-staple food processing industry.

After tracing, the video publisher was Gui, an employee of a public institution in Qianchang Town. Gui, who is in her 40 s, said that when she saw a similar rumor video on the Internet, she was idle. He imitated a rumor video through a video recording APP without editing. In the form of "showing himself", he bought the fluffy bread in the town. It is said that this fluffy bread is made of cotton by washing, burning and other "identification" means.

After discovering the video, the network security department of jingshan county Public Security Bureau immediately launched relevant investigations and handed over the video released by netizens to the food department for investigation and verification. It is confirmed that the released video is inconsistent with the facts and belongs to spreading rumors. At present, Gui was fined 500 yuan by the public security organs for spreading rumors and fabricating facts to disturb public order.
