Nine-system dried tangerine peel, a national snack, originated in Chaoshan area, Guangdong Province. The so-called "one or two dried tangerine peels and one or two gold" and "a hundred years of dried tangerine peel is better than gold", and the nine-system dried tangerine peel is like the swallow before Wang Xietang. Most people have tasted its salty and fragrant flavor.

However, recently, the nine-system dried tangerine peel of Jiabao was notified by the national market supervision department. The lead detection value of the nine-system dried tangerine peel produced by the company was 8.00mg/kg, which was 7.0 times higher than the national standard! After being criticized by name, all the batches of products involved in the accident have been recalled.

Lead is a chronic accumulation poison. Once it enters the human body, it will be extremely difficult to be discharged from the body's metabolism, and it will only be deposited in most parts of the body over time, causing poisoning hazards over time.

Nine-system dried tangerine peel is prepared by planing fresh outermost peels such as sweet orange and fragrant orange with a special planer as raw materials, and then taking brine and alum of pickled plums and soaking them together in a tank; After about two days, take out the orange peel and soak it in boiling water for 24 hours, drain the water, then marinate it with a lot of salt and plum brine, and then take it out and dry it for a while; Finally, take licorice juice and orange peel and stew them together to get the primary product of nine-system orange peel. The method may be different from the actual operation process, but it is also a basic process operation.

Key words "in-tank" and "plum marinade" may be places where lead is hidden, which is caused by adding a lot of lead-containing seasonings in the production process.

What factors affect the lead content in food?

It may be that the enterprise did not screen and accept the raw materials before production, or purchased inferior raw materials at the cost of reducing costs;

Brought into food by production auxiliary materials;

It may be that the lead content exceeds the standard due to the influence of processing equipment, containers and packaging materials during food production and processing.

To sum up, excessive lead content has nothing to do with the process, but is closely related to raw materials, containers, accessories or packaging materials of dried tangerine peel.

In fact, if you want the efficacy of dried tangerine peel, you don't just have to eat nine dried tangerine peel. The "fresh dried tangerine peel" purchased through formal channels also has good efficacy with a variety of ingredients.
