The new national standard for liquor will be officially implemented in June
The new national standard for liquor will be officially implemented in June. It is reported that liquor has been redefined in the new national standard, and it is hoped that the implementation of the new standard can avoid the confusion of liquor products and realize a more standardized and orderly development of the industry. The new national standard for liquor will be officially implemented in June. The new national standard for liquor will be officially implemented from June 1 < P > on June 1, the "new national standard" for liquor was officially implemented, and it was released in May last year, giving an accurate definition of liquor and flavoring liquor, and clearly expressing the category characteristics.
what are the new changes in the new national standard?
Grain must be used as the main raw material
The definition of liquor in the two newly revised "national standards" is: distilled liquor made from grain as the main raw material, Daqu, Xiaoqu, bran koji, enzyme preparation and yeast as saccharifying and fermenting agents, through cooking, saccharification, fermentation, distillation, aging and blending.
One of the key points is to make it clear that liquor must take "grain" as the main raw material. At the same time, the definition of "grain grain" is also explained, which refers to the raw grain and finished grain of grains and beans, including rice, wheat, corn, sorghum, barley and highland barley.
besides the main raw material must be grain, the "new national standard" also requires that even if some edible alcohol needs to be added in the production process, the alcohol brewed from grain must be used.
In the past, some enterprises used grain-brewed wine as the base wine, but blended it with edible alcohol produced by potatoes, thus reducing the cost. According to the "new national standard", the wine produced in this way will no longer be regarded as liquor.
no food additives
in the past, in order to ensure the aroma and taste of liquor, enterprises could modify it by adding food additives.
The "new national standard" makes it clear that food additives should not be used in liquor. At the same time, all blended liquors with food additives are classified as blended liquors, which are clearly distinguished from liquor categories.
The label of liquor has changed
After June 1, the label of liquor products will also change. The liquor produced and marketed after the implementation of the "new national standard" is grain-brewed liquor without additives as long as the word liquor is marked on the bottle body or packaging. If the ingredients list is clearly marked with "edible spices", according to the new standard, it will be classified as "flavored liquor" and may not be called liquor again.
when consumers buy liquor, they can carefully read the label on the bottle and check the label information to see if it meets the liquor standard.
Many brand products do not meet the definition of "white wine" in the new standard
After the implementation of the new standard, only pure grain wine can be called "white wine". Liquid liquor and solid liquor shall not use non-grain edible alcohol and food additives. Then, the blended liquor with food additives will be excluded from the liquor classification.
The reporter found by inquiring about the e-commerce platform and visiting Shangchao that some products owned by many well-known brands can no longer be called "liquor" according to the new standard.
from the online observation, in an e-commerce platform store, a "Tuopai Special Brewed Soft" produced by Shede Liquor Co., Ltd. has an alcohol content of 52%vol and a net content of 511ml, and the raw materials of this wine use edible spices. Products added with edible spices also include "Tuopai Specially Brewed Treasures" and "Tuopai Daqu".
The reporter found that well-known brands such as Langjiu, Wuliangye and LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD responded quickly to the new standard, and their self-operated stores and flagship stores on the JD.COM platform all sold related products under the option of "mixed wine". However, there are still some official shops of non-liquor companies that have not been adjusted in time.
On the shelf of a shop in Qufu, Shandong Province, a kind of Kongfujia liquor "Shengshi Datao" produced by Qufu Kongfujia Brewing Co., Ltd. is a Luzhou-flavor liquor with an alcohol content of 39%vol, a net content of 511ml, and its raw materials include edible spices. The products using edible spices also include a Confucian family wine "cellar original wine".
At present, products with similar situation include Gujing Yuye produced by Anhui Gujing Distillery Co., Ltd., Mianzhu Daqu produced by Sichuan Mianzhu Jiannanchun Distillery Co., Ltd., Jingzhi Shaoguo produced by Shandong Jingzhi Liquor Co., Ltd., and Xiangzhi, an old village head wine produced by Heilongjiang Old Village Head Liquor Co., Ltd., etc. The new national standard of liquor will be officially implemented in June. 2
From June 1, the new national standard of liquor will be officially implemented. The new national standard redefines "liquor" and strictly standardizes technical indicators. Compared with the new national standard, the "liquor" you used to drink may not be "liquor" and is called "true and false liquor mirror" by drinkers.
The General Administration of Market Quality Supervision issued a new national standard for liquor
In May 2121, the State Administration of Market Supervision approved and issued two national standards, namely, Terminology of Liquor Industry (GB/T 15119-2121) and Terms and Classification of Beverage Wine (GB/T 17214-2121), which were called "new national standard for liquor" by people in the industry.
It is reported that the new national standard of liquor was jointly drafted by China Food Fermentation Industry Research Institute Co., Ltd., china alcoholic drinks association, LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD, Kweichow Moutai, Wuliangye, Site Liquor and other liquor enterprises. It is hoped that the implementation of the new standard can avoid the confusion of liquor products and realize more standardized and orderly development of the industry.
In the new national standard, liquor is redefined as "distilled liquor", which is made of grain as the main raw material, Daqu, Xiaoqu, bran koji, enzyme preparation and yeast as saccharifying and fermenting agents, and is cooked, saccharified, fermented, distilled, aged and blended.
Further standardize the brewing standards: First, emphasize the raw materials of grain, namely rice, wheat, corn, sorghum, barley, highland barley, etc., and exclude potatoes. Second, it is absolutely forbidden to use any food additives, and the food additives added to the wine base are defined as "prepared wine", which belongs to the fragrant liquor and does not belong to the "liquor family".
Improvement of entry threshold for liquor
The new national standard urges the requirement of high-quality development of liquor and accelerates the trend of consumption upgrading. With the awakening of consumers' quality consciousness, quality has become the bottom line of consumption, and the baseline is rising. High-quality pure grain wine is welcoming a broader incremental space and becoming an important guide for the "upward" and "high" development of mass consumption.
the person in charge of a well-known liquor enterprise in Jiangxi said: the implementation of the new national standard will trigger a chain reaction from production to consumption, which will become an important watershed for the development of liquor enterprises. At the same time, it is also the technical guarantee for the high-quality liquor to be integrated into the two major international and domestic cycles, which is conducive to creating a fair and just market competition environment.
insiders pointed out that the revision of the new national standard put forward higher requirements for the quality of liquor products, which played an important role in promoting the quality improvement of the domestic liquor industry and standardizing the production and operation of liquor enterprises. At the same time, the new national standard gives an accurate definition of liquor and flavored liquor, and clearly expresses the characteristics of the categories, so that consumers can read and see more clearly. The new national standard of liquor will be officially implemented in June. On June 1, 3 < P >, two new standards of liquor, Liquor Industry Terminology and Beverage Wine Terminology and Classification, will be officially implemented. After the introduction of the new standard, it will be clear that non-grain edible alcohol and food additives should not be used in liquid liquor and solid-liquid liquor. At the same time, blended liquor is excluded from the classification of liquor and divided into mixed liquor.
what changes will the implementation of the new liquor standards bring to the liquor industry? On the 26th, the seminar on publicizing 2122 liquor industry series standards and scientific supervision on quality and safety, organized by China Light Industry Information Center, National Liquor Standardization Technical Committee and National Market Supervision Technology Innovation Center (quality and safety of light consumer goods), was held online.
The meeting discussed the theme of "liquor quality and safety supervision and high-quality development of the industry after the new national standard of liquor". Experts and scholars interpreted the new national standard policy of liquor, and discussed the traceability technology of liquor quality and safety, the construction of traceability system of liquor enterprises, food authenticity technology and the landing of the new national standard, and the future development trend of liquor industry.
what does the new standard mean to liquor industry?
gan quan, deputy secretary-general of china alcoholic drinks association, said that as the foundation of liquor quality upgrading, product innovation and industrial progress, the construction of standard system plays a vital role in promoting the high-quality development and modernization transformation of liquor industry. The new national standard clearly defines liquor and flavoring liquor, and clearly defines the color, aroma and taste substances produced by exogenous edible alcohol and non-self-fermentation, which plays an important role in promoting the quality improvement of domestic liquor industry and standardizing the production and operation of liquor enterprises.
should liquor enterprises implement the new national standard for liquor?
Song Quanhou, secretary-general of the National Liquor Standardization Technical Committee, said that all liquor companies should first sort out their product lines, and adjust their product attributes in terms of technology, raw materials, publicity and advertising, and product labeling, so as to convey clear information to consumers and the market. For consumers, we should adhere to education guidance and smoothly promote the implementation of the new national standard. The implementation and landing of the new national standard conforms to the current consumption trend and takes a new step towards high-quality development.
How to improve the quality, safety and traceability of liquor under the new national standard of liquor?
Liu Zhuohui, academician of the International Academy of Quality Sciences, chairman of China Anti-counterfeiting Industry Association and former chief engineer of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said that besides giving enterprises and consumers a clear concept, it is very important to establish a security traceability system for alcohol. With anti-counterfeiting, the real traceability can be realized, and the source and destination of liquor products can be traced in coordination with blockchain technology and quantum information technology, so as to realize the real safe traceability.
regarding the security traceability system, Zhong Qiding, executive director of the National Market Supervision Technology Innovation Center (quality and safety of light consumer goods), pointed out that the imperfection of the value system and quality expression system is one of the reasons for the frequent authenticity problems of liquor. To this end, the National Center for Market Supervision and Technology Innovation (Quality and Safety of Light Consumer Goods) launched a food authenticity (FA) certification system to help the new national standard of liquor land and help liquor return to tradition and truth.
He introduced that FA certification can express the real quality of food through food authenticity expression technology, voluntary product certification, sampling inspection in circulation market and information transmission, and has been recognized by leading enterprises in many food sub-sectors such as Nongfu Spring, Lu Hua, Junlebao, SDIC Zhonglu and Liuliu Orchard.
