China Liquor Association responded to the problem of excessive plasticizer in liquor, saying that liquor products basically contain plasticizer, with the highest content exceeding the national regulations by about 8 times and the lowest content exceeding about 1.7 times. Last night, china alcoholic drinks association issued a statement in official website, saying that the association has never authorized any media, unit or individual to issue a response to the incident involving liquor plasticizer. It is clear in the statement that at present, the plasticizer content index in liquor products of national key liquor enterprises is lower than the food standard value. As we all know, no plasticizer is produced in the fermentation process of liquor production. Plasticizers in liquor products mainly come from plastic wine receiving barrels and plastic barrel packaging of finished wine. The highest value of dissolved plasticizer in liquor products is that liquor pumps enter and leave latex tube. At present, all liquor enterprises are using this equipment.
Plasticizer, as a material additive, can enhance its flexibility in plastic processing, which is easy to process and can be legally used for industrial purposes. Adding plasticizer to liquor will make liquor more viscous and durable, which seems to improve the grade and quality of liquor.
