On the 29th, the labeling workers said that this was the company's rule, and the date of production on the label was marked according to the time of entering the supermarket-this batch was marked on March 30th.

In some Hualian supermarkets and Lianhua supermarkets in Pudong District of Shanghai, the reporter saw that their staple food counters were selling three kinds of steamed bread produced by the same company, namely, Gaozhuang steamed bread, corn steamed bread and black rice steamed bread. The salesperson said that these steamed buns sell well, two pieces and seven pieces.

From the outer packaging of these steamed buns, we can see that the manufacturer is a branch of Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd., and its address is No.380, Minaminoooji, Baoshan District, Shanghai.

How are these wheat steamed buns, which look white and soft, and corn steamed buns, which are yellow and attractive, produced?

On March 29th, the reporter went to No.380, Minaminoooji, Baoshan District. The plaque at the door says Shanghai Fuxin Transportation Co., Ltd. Walking into the yard, there are many factories, some producing bearing devices and some renovating chairs. The branch of Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd., which produces steamed bread, is in the corner of the yard. There are many boxes for steamed bread on the ground, and some workers are busy moving in and out. The staff of the office said that this is the branch of Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd.

Entering the second floor, a worker is labeling the steamed buns that have been packaged into bags. The manufacturers of these steamed buns are "Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd. Branch".

At this time, another staff member came over and told the workers who were labeling that the steamed bread produced the day before was also labeled with the latest production date. Workers said that this is the company's rule, and the date of production on the label is marked according to the time of entering the supermarket-this batch of targets is March 30.

Expired steamed bread

In the processing workshop, these recovered steamed buns, which were produced seven days ago, were taken out of the packaging bags by workers and poured directly into the dough mixer.

In the corner next to it, there are many packaged steamed buns piled on the ground. The production date marked on the labels of these steamed buns turned out to be March 22nd. The worker said that it was returned from the supermarket and can be reused. So how will these steamed buns, which were seven days ago, be recycled? The worker said: take it back and twist it again.

In the processing workshop, these recovered steamed buns were taken out of the packaging bags by workers and poured directly into the dough mixer. Subsequently, the workers poured two buckets of water into the dough mixer and fully soaked the steamed bread. Five minutes later, the workers poured two bags of flour into the dough mixer and mixed them with the soft steamed bread.

Opposite to the dough mixer is a steamed bread machine. Fill in the dough, and the dough can be rolled out directly at the exit. Then the dough is placed in iron plates and ready to enter the steamer.

In the workshop of steaming steamed bread, the reporter saw that the ground was covered with stains.

Ten minutes later, steaming steamed buns were freshly baked.

In the packaging workshop of steamed bread, the reporter saw that several workers were putting steamed buns into plastic bags, each containing four steamed buns. In the process of packaging steamed bread, the workers did not wear gloves or clean work clothes and hats.

Dyed steamed bread

When this colorant is added to the dough mixer, the white flour becomes the color of corn flour-a beautiful pale yellow "corn steamed bread" is baked.

White steamed bread is like this, but what about light yellow corn steamed bread?

On the label of corn steamed bread, the food additive is also labeled with vitamin C. However, in the production workshop, the reporter saw that when making corn steamed bread, the workers also poured the recycled white steamed bread and corn steamed bread into the dough mixer. Before pouring water into the dough mixer, the worker first poured a bowl of corn flour into the two machines, and then he took out a can of orange powder and dug two spoonfuls and poured it into the dough mixer.

Workers say that orange powder is pigment.

The packaging of this can of orange powder indicates that this is a colorant called lemon yellow. The worker said that if this colorant is added to the dough mixer, the white flour will become the color of corn flour-a beautiful pale yellow "corn steamed bread" will be baked.

Preservative steamed bread

Workers added potassium sorbate to the dough mixer, which was mildew-proof and added sodium cyclamate: "In the past, saccharin was used to make steamed bread, but now it is replaced by sodium cyclamate."

The reporter learned in the branch of Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd. that there are three main types of steamed bread produced here: Gaozhuang white steamed bread, black rice steamed bread and corn steamed bread. The food additive marked on the label of Gaozhuangbai steamed bread is vitamin C. But in fact, after the dough mixer used the steamed bread recovered from the blisters, he added something to the dough mixer one after another. What are these things?

The worker said that potassium sorbate was added, which was mildewproof. Plus sodium cyclamate. "In the past, saccharin was used to make steamed bread, but now it is replaced by sodium cyclamate. You must use it if you want to make your store bigger. "

On the label of Gaozhuangbai steamed bread, consumers can see white sugar and vitamin C, but in fact, the branch of Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd. added sodium cyclamate instead of white sugar. No vitamin C was added specifically, but the preservative potassium sorbate was added, and these two additives were not marked at all.

During the whole process of steamed bread processing, the reporter found that the workers were very casual when adding various additives, and they added as much as they wanted according to their own experience.

There is no potassium sorbate in the additives that can be used in fermented flour products stipulated in the National Hygienic Standard for the Use of Food Additives, but the food types that allow adding sodium cyclamate are baked, fried nuts and seeds, and fermented flour products are not included.

Horrible steamed bread

The worker said: I won't eat it. I know whether I can eat or not, whether it's delicious or not, and I can't eat anything with pigment in it.

Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd. Branch has come up with a set of countermeasures to avoid inspection.

The office staff of Shenglu Company said that, generally speaking, steamed bread is randomly checked once a month. If there is any inspection, it will be sent to the office for inspection, and the inspectors will not be allowed to go to the workshop. As soon as they are inspected, they will close the door of the workshop and prevent people from entering.

Some workers said that the cost of food is too high, and it is impossible to have real corn steamed bread, which is not formal and 100% not.

The light yellow corn steamed bread made in this way looks beautiful on the surface, but in the face of such beautiful steamed bread, the workers are dismissive and even avoid it. The worker said: I won't eat, I won't eat even if I am killed, I won't eat even if I starve to death. I know whether I can eat my own food, whether it is delicious or not, and I can't eat it if there is pigment in it.

Best-selling steamed bread

Every day, 30,000 such steamed buns are sent to three or four hundred supermarkets. Like this kind of steamed bread, 80% are bought by older people, which is in short supply.

Workers of Shenglu Company said: 80% of the steamed buns like this are bought by older people, which is in short supply. Every day, 30,000 such steamed buns are sent to 300 or 400 supermarkets.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the truck carrying steamed bread came to Hualian Supermarket in Yangxin Road, Pudong District, Shanghai, where it unloaded five boxes of steamed bread, and then rushed to Lianhua Supermarket not far away, where it unloaded another five boxes of steamed bread. A few days later, the reporter saw Gaozhuang steamed bread and corn steamed bread produced by Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd. Branch in Hualian Supermarket on Guangxin Road, Putuo District, Shanghai.

At Hualian Supermarket near Hexin Road, salespeople reported that Gaozhuang steamed bread and corn steamed bread produced by Shanghai Shenglu Food Co., Ltd. Branch have been selling well.

Gaozhuang steamed bread, corn steamed bread and black rice steamed bread are not only sold to Hualian and Lianhua supermarkets.
