It only takes a drop of water to float in Wan Li.
A few days ago, the reporter came to Zhougudui Agricultural Products Wholesale Market in Hefei City, Anhui Province. In several stores selling condiments, he saw a drop of incense on the shelf, and the price was above 50 yuan. In addition to a drop of incense, there are a series of upgraded products called a drop of incense, such as Senecio, Wan Li, and the whole city. There are many kinds of flavors, not only chicken, but also beef, mutton and fish.
According to the salesperson, one of the products is also fragrant. You can put it in a hot pot or on a plate. Compared with a drop of incense 100 times, it has no fragrance and is resistant to high temperature. The source said that five to six bottles of fragrant king are sent to the hot pot restaurant every day. Just pour a drop of this stuff into the hot pot, and stew and cold dishes will do. But as for the ingredients in this incense king, the sales staff themselves are not clear.
In the wholesale market of agricultural products in Zhougudui, Hefei, the reporter bought several bottles of this product. The address marked on a bottle of product named Fragrant King is Shijiazhuang Shengxin Spice Co., Ltd., which is located 4 kilometers west of Wuji County, Hebei Province. So the reporter came to Wuji County and visited Zhang Cun, Dongzhu Village and Zhencun, 4 kilometers west of the city, but never found Shengxin Spice Co., Ltd., and visited the flavor and fragrance factories around the county, and found nothing. Finally, the reporter came to Wuji County Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the enterprise was not found in the electronic information system of the Administration for Industry and Commerce. According to the staff of the bureau, if the enterprise cannot be found, this situation belongs to the enterprise forging the factory name and address, which is illegal and its products are also counterfeit products.
Another bottle of this product bought by the reporter is called Weiqi brand Yixiang. From the bottle, the address is Shandong Qingdao Weiqi Food Development Co., Ltd. After many twists and turns, the reporter finally found this company in a village more than 0/00 kilometers away from Qingdao downtown. Inside the company, the reporter saw some plastic buckets on the ground, which contained various liquids, and large and small bottles were placed on the shelves against the wall. According to the manufacturer, a drop of incense was made by mixing the raw materials with a blender and simply heating and stirring. After measurement, it can be filled and sealed before leaving the factory, but they don't know what ingredients this product contains.
Whether a drop of incense is harmful to human body is still inconclusive.
In fact, how to classify a drop of incense has long been conclusive. The food safety rectification office of the Ministry of Health pointed out that a drop of incense belongs to the category of food additives. Relevant industry associations also emphasize that a drop of incense is a salty essence and a food additive. Chen Min, a professor at Food College of China Agricultural University, believes that a drop of incense is a compound food additive.
According to the relevant provisions of the National Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Food Additives, food additives should be marked with the words "food additives" on the label. There is no food additive on the label of Weiqi brand Little Fragrant. This kind of problem is far from unique. It is understood that a considerable part of a drop of incense and similar products sold in the market are unknown and unclear. A considerable number of products are sold to catering enterprises, and the so-called clear water becomes high soup has become the hidden rule of some catering enterprises. Therefore, people are more concerned about whether such products are harmful and edible. Many citizens said that they dare not use a drop of incense because they don't know what ingredients it contains. Food additives are chemical substances that may be harmful to human body.
There are different opinions in the society, and whether a drop of incense is toxic has become the focus of debate. Seeing that some media reported that a drop of incense was toxic, the quality supervision and industrial and commercial departments in Xi 'an, Nanjing and Shijiazhuang began to investigate and deal with a drop of incense, and the booming drop of incense disappeared from the shelves. However, in some areas, because there is no conclusive evidence that a drop of incense is harmful to human body, such products are still allowed to be sold in the market. So where to go, people urgently expect the competent authorities to disclose the authoritative test results in time. Some citizens told reporters that if the country allows it to be used, at least let everyone know what the substance contained in it is. It is hoped that the state will test such products as soon as possible, and clearly publicize the test report to consumers so that consumers can use it with confidence.
A drop of vague incense.
The Food Safety Law stipulates that the Ministry of Health is the national comprehensive food safety coordination agency, responsible for comprehensive food safety supervision and organizing food safety risk assessment. The reporter conducted a telephone interview with the relevant departments of the Ministry of Health on the question of whether a drop of incense products can be sent for inspection. The answer is that the testing center is only responsible for testing the specific substances contained in the products proposed by reporters, and the general detection of harmful substances is impossible, and it is impossible to detect all substances in related products.
To this end, the reporter contacted and interviewed the US Food and Drug Administration and the National Center for Food Quality Supervision and Inspection. Almost all departments said that only by providing the product formula or the specific name of the substance for inspection can the related substances be tested. In this regard, some scholars said that it is really difficult to analyze the composition of an unknown substance.
However, relevant experts also pointed out that in the field of food safety, if the public has doubts, how the government departments respond will often become the focus of attention. Hu, vice chairman of chinese institute of food science and technology, believes that the principle of information transparency is the most basic principle of food safety. After consumers raise questions, relevant government departments should make judgments as soon as possible, inform the public as soon as possible, and don't let the public continue to doubt.
Nowadays, it has become a semi-open secret for some catering enterprises to make clear water soup with a drop of incense. However, the source and composition of a drop of incense reflected in the program are unknown, and it is not clear whether it is beneficial or harmful. This vague drop of incense really makes people feel uneasy when facing the table. Open and transparent information channels and authoritative scientific test results are the most basic requirements of food safety.
