Green hairy melon seeds kernel processing ice cream

May 2013 broke the news, CCTV reporter to the identity of the applicant in the marketing of the country's 14 provinces and cities, with a history of 20 years of Harbin Huayi Foods Company Limited (hereinafter referred to as Huayi) unannounced visit for a week, found that the plant exists in the employment of non-audit, workers do not have health certificates, the landing of the product recycling and reuse of raw materials such as moldy dried fruit and other situations.

Workers do not need a health card directly on the job

In the Human Resources Department, only a copy of the ID card, before and after less than five minutes, the reporter successfully got a front-line worker position. There is no need for a health certificate, no medical checkup, no pre-job training, not even a hand cleaner, standing next to the ice cream production line. The work is to pick out the problem products, collect the falling ice cream, according to the different flavors, respectively, in the marked capacity of 50 kilograms of white plastic drums.

Ice cream on the floor and back on the production line

In the early hours of May 19, 2013, the production line saw a shift leader surnamed Wang picking up ice cream that had fallen on the sewage-strewn floor and putting it directly back on the production line. on May 20, on the ice cream production line of the cups, I noticed that a worker picked up the wrapping paper cups that had fallen into the sewage and flushed them out a little bit before they were immediately used again.

Besides the ice cream and wrapping paper cups that fall on the ground, there are also popsicle sticks that are directly recycled without being sterilized. Huayi workers work two shifts 24 hours a day, 13 hours each. At the end of a shift, dozens of white plastic buckets filled with sorted out ice cream are gathered together, melted with heat to filter out the popsicle sticks, weighed and labeled with flavors and weights. The workers on duty said that those filtered popsicle sticks piled up on the ground were "good and can be used". "Ruined material" becomes raw material

The eliminated ice cream in white plastic buckets is called "ruined material" by the workers. It accounts for about one-tenth of all production.

Whenever a shift changes hands, the ice cream gradually turns to goo in the stained plastic buckets as the heat fumes. The same "ruined ingredients" as the next shift's production are sent to the dosing room, while the rest are stored in the cooler.

The raw and auxiliary materials are mixed into the "ruined material" to process new products, which is carried out in the batching room located on the second floor of the workshop. The dosage room is installed with several monitoring probes, and the clothing of the personnel working in the dosage room is clearly differentiated from that of other employees, and the production line employees are not allowed to enter the dosage room except for the transportation of the "ruined materials.

Entering the batching room, several male workers are feeding, in addition to powdered milk, sugar, etc., there are more than a dozen buckets of hot "ruined material. According to a reluctant to disclose the name of the ingredients revealed that different time with the flavor of the "ruined material" will be saved up until the amount is large enough to mix into the new material to be put back into the production line. As for how to mix the color of the ice cream "ruined material", the batching staff declined to answer on the grounds of "commercial confidentiality".

According to Article 28 of the Food Safety Law, the use of recycled food as raw material for reproduction is prohibited by law.
