" the inspection and quarantine department has recently detected 13 batches of Taiwan pineapples carrying harmful insect shell insects, including the new pineapple gray mealybug. In order to prevent the risk of plant epidemics from being imported from Taiwan to other parts of the mainland from the source, it is also entirely necessary to take decisive and decisive measures."

Gray mealybugs can be vectors for diseases. If one is eaten, it will be digested by the stomach acids, but it may contain bacteria in its gut that may sustain the acid and carry through to the intestines.

so how should people handle pineapple properly before eating?

Do you have any suggestions?

It doesn't look red to me. There are two things in this image, a brown and yellow. I'm assuming you're asking about the brown? What happens when you cut through it with a knife? Pineapple seeds should look like this:
