It's not easy to visit a Ji'nan restaurant or cafe for a cup of pure fruit juice.
reporter Liao Liang
the fruit and vegetable of the present squeezed beverage must be fresh, no rotting, no food additives, more than two hours shall not be sold... Recently, the State Food and Drug Administration issued a draft of the "Regulations on the management of squeezed beverages in catering service units". Yesterday, a reporter visited a hotel and coffee shop in Ji'nan and found that it was not easy to drink a cup of pure fruit juice.
the State Food and Drug Administration issued a draft of the "management method for the present squeezed beverage of catering service units", and standardized the standard of the present juice. The new regulations require that the beverage made from concentrated pulp, concentrated juice and fruit and vegetable powder should not be called the present squeezed beverage; the production of present juice will not be sold for more than 2 hours; the operator should wear working clothes hat, mask, gloves and so on.
out of health care, juice is very popular among women, especially in some coffee shops, high-end restaurants, a cup of 500 milliliters of the fruit juice about twenty or thirty yuan, is a real "high-grade goods". If we take the management method issued by the State Food and drug administration, can we check the current squeezed beverages? To this end, reporters visited some restaurants in Ji'nan, coffee shops, street squeezed juice houses.
the juice is also added to
yesterday, a reporter asked for a cup of orange juice in a coffee shop on the ten road. The staff took out an orange and cut it into the juice machine, then put it in the juicer and then put some powder into the glass and add water to the glass. When the reporter asked them what the powder was, the service staff told them that it was the fruit juice partner, which was equivalent to the flavored sugar, and the juice needed to be added to the East. West, the taste is better.
the orange juice of this cup is yellow and orange, and the pulp is evenly distributed, while the present squeezed orange juice is made at home, although it is also an orange, but the color is uneven, the taste is astringent, and the flesh is deposited at the bottom of the cup. When the reporter put forward this confusion, the coffee shop staff said: "your juicer is not good, the coffee shop is using a professional juicer, grinding particles more fine."
is that true? The reporter consulted Mr. Cheng, who had been a bar manager for three years. He said that the orange juice in the bar and the cafe was good and sold well because of the powder that had been added before. "These powder - like substances are mainly saccharin and fruit flavor powder. It is white, which is the additive to increase the fragrance of the juice and avoid discoloration and precipitation of the fruit juice."
Mr. Cheng said that the cost of fruit juice is high, especially some fruit juice is less, if no water is added, four or five oranges can be squeezed out of a small cup of juice. Now the oranges are not seasonal fruits, the price is higher, the cost of a cup of pure juice is more than 10 yuan, so that businesses can not earn money. Many restaurants are actually squeezing juice from small quantities of fruit juice, and then add juice concentrate, jam and various additives. "It's easy to distinguish whether the juice is squeezed." Cheng said that if the juice is too long or too long after the juice is oxidized, the juice will be layered after oxidation, and the blending will not be so.
some fruit juice is stored for more than 4 hours
there are many juices in many cafeterias in Ji'nan. Yesterday, the reporter saw in the dining room, the juice is put on the ice on the ice, very attractive, in addition to the current squeezed soybean milk, the reporter touched the touch, the cup wall can feel warm. "Are these juices pressed?" The staff said, "of course", like the pretty orange juice, watermelon juice, sold short, will be temporarily squeezed juice added. Because they are worried about the supply of drinks at peak meals, they start making drinks at three or four p.m. and they will eat more than 8 points for dinner. According to this calculation, part of the juice storage time has reached more than four hours.
this year there are lots of stalls for squeezing soya bean milk on the streets of Ji'nan. In the summer, these stalls launched ice cream. For how long the ice soya bean milk was made, one owner said that because of the good business, it was too late to make ice soya milk at all, and her soya bean milk was done the day before, and stored in the refrigerator. She said: "soya bean milk in the refrigerator ensures that it will not be bad for a day."
when the reporter told her that the management method of squeezed juice was about to be implemented, she said, "according to this regulation, business can not be done. Hot soya bean milk is good to say, how can I do it? That is to say, when you put it in the refrigerator, it will not change into ice cream in two hours, at least three or four hours. "
cold drink stall can not see the gloves mask
management method, the present squeezed beverage operator should wear clean working clothes cap, hand wash hand and hand disinfection, wear gloves, and wear disposable mask during operation.
there are a lot of cold drink shops near Quancheng Road, many cold drink stores have introduced fresh juice business, but the reporter visited seven shops in Quancheng road and hibiscus street, the 6 shop operators were wearing aprons and work clothes, but only one wore masks and no gloves. "The day is too hot", "when wearing a mask, ask customers add no ice, or not to sugar what, customers can not hear clearly", "we wash the fruit before washing hands, very clean", the operator gave a variety of statements.
while in a coffee shop, the reporter saw that although the operator wore apron, hat, mask and so on, he did not wear gloves. In order to speak conveniently, the mask is pulled from time to time in the chin position.
consumers are worried about the occurrence of regulatory difficulties
in accordance with management rules, if businesses use non food raw materials, recycled food raw materials and food additives in current squeezed drinks, or supply spoilage, rancidity, mixed foreign objects, adulteration, septum overnight or abnormal sensory properties Materials will be investigated and dealt with according to the eighty-fifth article of the food safety law. That is to say, if the amount of drinks sold illegally by businesses is less than ten thousand yuan, they will face fines ranging from 2000 yuan to 50 thousand yuan. And the business amount of more than 10 thousand yuan, is facing a business to 5 to 10 times the fine. "It is likely to be an empty document". After hearing about this regulation, some citizens say that the regulations are very good, but the juice is now sold and sold. The whole process is very short, and the supervision will be very troublesome. Liu Xiaojie of the public said that the regulations put forward that the amount of fruit and vegetable juices and grains and beverages can be properly added to drinking water. How much is the right amount? When the food and beverage department is faced with inspection, it will probably be less watered down. When the inspectors go, who can guarantee that the juice concentration can reach the standard.
for the storage of juice that can't be stored for more than two hours, Miss Liu believes that it is more difficult to carry out the juice. "Unless the law enforcement officials look at it every day, if the law enforcement personnel stare, who can say that the juice is done a few hours ago."
