Later, Lao Dao also had a chance to buy one. It turns out that this kind of ice cream is called "coconut ash" After opening the package, there is a layer of shredded coconut outside the gray-black ice cream. Ice cream itself has coconut flavor, and it tastes good when you eat it for the first time.

But after eating, Lao Dao said, it seems that's it. Is it because the female ticket has cooked a lot of delicious food recently and her mouth is spoiled?

Also, as the evaluation editor, Lao Dao had to spit out the "how to eat" of this ice cream and uncover the wrapping paper, which contained a layer of wrapping paper. It's easy to get sticky and black after eating. Is it really good?

Anyway, after eating twice, Lao Dao never bought it again.

However, these two days, when the old man brushed his mobile phone, he suddenly found a message: black ice cream is forbidden to be sold abroad.

Then the next sentence is: the country is still hot.

Lao Dao followed the news and found that this ice cream was more popular than Lao Dao thought, mainly because it was lit by Tik Tok.

As for why it was banned abroad? Mainly because some black ice creams sold abroad have added activated carbon.

Activated carbon is a kind of black powder, which is made of carbon-rich materials such as jujube shell, coconut shell, sawdust and coal. It has good adsorption capacity for inorganic or organic substances and colloidal particles in gas and solution, and can be used in food industry, but it cannot be directly used.

According to China's National Food Safety Standard, plant activated carbon can be used as a processing aid in the food industry, rather than a direct food additive, and should be removed before making the final product.

In new york, in June this year, the relevant department (new york Health and Mental Health Bureau) announced that it was forbidden to add activated carbon to food and drinks.

Because of its strong adsorption, experts say that activated carbon will not only affect the absorption of nutrients, but also reduce the absorption of drugs, reduce the effect of drugs, and even reduce gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is easy to cause nausea and constipation.

So there must be a lot of people who care, does the coconut ash ice cream mentioned above also have activated carbon?

This thing is quite interesting.

Black ice cream is popular abroad, and the domestic "coconut ash" ice cream has also been fired by online celebrities. At this time, concerns about the possible health hazards caused by adding activated carbon to food have been raised. Some domestic media contacted Jiangxi Tiankaile Food Co., Ltd., the producer of "Coconut Ash" ice cream, and asked if this ice cream contained activated carbon. The answer is that this ice cream adds vegetable carbon black instead of activated carbon.

Judging from the packaging of coconut ash ice cream, there is no "activated carbon" in the ingredients.

However, in an advertisement about "coconut ash" in official website, the company said, "The biggest difference between Tiankaile coconut ash ice cream and ordinary black sesame and dark chocolate ice cream is the beauty function of natural activated carbon!" This statement.

I can't find this sentence in official website now. This part of the article has been replaced by other words, and the description of activated carbon has been removed.

When asked why activated carbon was mentioned in the publicity, the other party said it was "unclear" and further emphasized that activated carbon was not added to the coconut ash ice cream.

Well, it's uncertain whether to add activated carbon or not. However, Lao Dao said that personally, ice cream is not too cold, and eating watermelon in summer is more exciting.
