The unqualified sample is Bifidobacterium C-I flavor fermented milk produced by Cashi Yogurt (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and sold by Uni-President Supermarket (Shanghai) Convenience Co., Ltd. in Yongxin Square. The reason is that the yeast exceeds the standard, and the test result is 60 times of the standard value. Yeast is a unicellular fungus, which can ferment sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is a common fungus in nature and a natural starter. The number of yeasts is an indicator to evaluate the hygienic quality of food. The main reason for exceeding the standard of yeasts may be the pollution of raw materials for processing or improper control of storage and transportation conditions of products.
What is yeast and what is the harm of excessive consumption? According to the data, yeast is a kind of unicellular fungus, which is often used for food fermentation and seasoning in life. It is a common fungus in nature. Under normal circumstances, moderate consumption is usually harmless, but eating too much may cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, purine deposition, and elevated blood sugar. The number of yeasts is an indicator to evaluate the hygienic quality of food. If the yeast exceeds the standard, it may cause excessive fermentation of food and lead to spoilage.
Although self-built cold chain logistics has long been established, it is not the first time that yeast exceeds the standard. According to the report of Red Net Changsha in 20 15, Guangdong Food and Drug Administration found that the number of yeast detected in fresh cheese milk (corn kernels) exceeded the standard. At that time, Cashman made a response similar to today's, saying that both internal investigation and third-party testing showed that the product was qualified. Cashi Yogurt also said that the production line involving this batch of products has been unconditionally stopped, and all links of the production line and corn fruit suppliers and manufacturers have been thoroughly investigated and analyzed.
