The reporter noticed that the "Pinke" potato chips of American Procter & Gamble Company, which had been blacklisted several times, were unqualified this time, with sour cream onion flavor and pizza flavor. The unqualified reason is that the additive potassium bromate exceeds the standard.
It is understood that the compound potassium bromate has been listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and China also banned the use of potassium bromate in bread in 2005.
Yesterday, the reporter visited supermarkets such as CR Vanguard and Baijia, and found all kinds of "Pinke" potato chips filled the shelves, but most of these "Pinke" potato chips were made in China. In some small and medium-sized supermarkets and convenience stores, the reporter found that potato chips imported from the United States are still on sale. The reporter saw in an imported food monopoly booth on Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street that there were three or four kinds of "Pinke" potato chips from the United States on the shelves. The stall owner said that these potato chips were imported from the United States, and many young people came to buy them specially, and the sales situation has been good. He said that he had not heard that Pinke potato chips had found out the problem, nor had he received a notice from the relevant departments requesting to withdraw the cabinet.
