20 thousand tons of fake salt flow into 7 provinces and cities such as Shandong for 7 years, long-term intake or carcinogenesis.
2 more than 10000 tons of industrial salt, in a small workshop in seven or eight square meters, through a separate machine to be packaged into food Salt was subsequently shipped to 7 provinces and cities such as Beijing, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Henan, Hebei, Anhui and Shandong.
such an illegal industrial chain has been running for 7 years before it was discovered. A false salt case cracked by police in Taizhou, Jiangsu, is shocking.
"iodized refined salt"
is one of the four major salt fields in China since ancient times, which is industrial salt
Jianghuai region since ancient times. In November 2014, the salt administration law enforcement department and the Public Security Department of Hailing District of Taizhou found a large number of edible salt labeled "Beijing salt with iodized salt" in the local farmers' market. Salt producing areas have seen large quantities of low-cost salt, which has attracted the attention of relevant departments.
after sampling by salt administration, it was found that the iodine content of the iodized refined salt was zero, and the carcinogenic component nitrite was detected. Finally, the testing department confirmed that these refined salts were industrial salt.
tracing the source of fake salt, the police found that the fake salt was produced in the suburbs of Beijing. In a small workshop of seven or eight square meters in the East Zhao village, Qingyun Town, Daxing District, Beijing, the criminal suspect Wang hired 5 workers and sold the industrial salt in 1 units. Most of these industrial salt are purchased from Wang's brother-in-law, Jiang's industrial salt company. The Beijing Hao Jie Jing Tong industrial salt sales Co., Ltd. has been operating various industrial salt for two years.
according to press survey, before the establishment of the company, Jiangmou has been providing industrial salt to Wang. Jiang, who sold salt for industrial use, has been engaged in the wholesale of salt for a long time. In 2005, he was punished by the government for selling fake salt. In the case of knowing the sale of fake salt by their wives and wives, they not only provided industrial salt, but also sold the packaging bags and packing boxes for them.
police said that, from the 26 books seized by the small workshop, this criminal gang has produced and sold more than 20 thousand tons of toxic and harmful fake salt since 2008.
"20 thousand tons of salt is enough for 5 million people in Taizhou to eat for 1 years." Zhou Lvgang, deputy director of Taizhou salt industry administration, said, "the amount of fake salt in this case is large and the sales time is very long."

bus driver
participate in the trafficking of false salt
according to the investigation, these fake salts are mainly sold to 7 provinces and cities, such as Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, Shandong and so on. Over the years, salt has been monopolized in China. How did these fake salt enter the market?
during the visit of Taizhou police and salt administration department, some residents said, "these salt buses are brought back." According to the police investigation, Wang's production of fake salt will be transported to several familiar wholesale retailers in the late night, including both the merchants of the farmers' market in Beijing city and the wholesale merchants in the traffic logistics nodes.
these wholesalers also sell their salt to the driver or ask the driver to carry it through their respective relationship and transport it by bus. At the Lizeqiao bus station in Fengtai District, Beijing, the police investigated two department stores close to the bus drivers in the vicinity of the station, and found the fake salt made by Wang.
survey shows that only in Beijing to Taizhou, there are more than ten drivers who are directly involved in the transportation of fake salt. After carrying salt to Taizhou, these bus drivers have formed a relatively stable sales network to the relatively weak suburban combination and small businesses in rural areas at a price lower than the local market price.
"these fake salt profits are huge." Zhu Jinhua, the deputy leader of the public security detachment of Taizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, said that the price of 400 to 450 yuan per ton of industrial salt was priced as high as 800 to 1000 yuan per ton after it was "turned into" salt. Even so, the retail price of these salts is still more than 1 yuan cheaper than the regular channels of iodized salt, so there is no need for sale in some places.
Zhu Jinhua said that not only a large number of residents buy these cheap fake salt, but also many pickles and stewed vegetable processing workshops are using these fake salts in large quantities.
low cost, high profit
false salt flow into market
"salt can still be false?" Facing the news brought by the reporter's interview, Mr. Wang, who is in the Jiangyan District of Taizhou, who is selling fake salt, is very puzzled. He used to buy salt at his home's small shop and buy five or six bags for a few months at a time, because the cheap is often taken away, and the price will not be judged true or false. Now, he feels very worried, because some canteen has no business license, nor does he know how to distinguish the true and false salt. In the case of
, industrial salt is used for snow removal and industrial production in winter. What harm does it have to human body after eating? Xu Ying, chief physician of emergency department of Nanjing first hospital, said that industrial salt includes nitrite and industrial sodium chloride containing nitrite. Adult intake of 0.2-0.5 grams of nitrite can cause poisoning, intake of 3 grams can be fatal. Nitrite poisoning can lead to intestinal cyanosis, even coma, respiratory failure, arrhythmia, and death. The industrial sodium chloride containing nitrite is very harmful to the human body after a long period of small intake. It may cause cancer and may also enter the fetus through the placenta and lead to fetal malformation.
Xu Ying said, from the case of clinical visits, there is a high risk of industrial salt intake, including remote residents and migrant workers, which should be increased to avoid the purchase of cheap salt from irregular manufacturers. Tong Yuxiang, director of the Jiangsu salt industry administration, believes that the problem of exposure to the fake salt is worth vigilant, but there is no need to worry too much. As long as salt is purchased from regular stores and supermarkets, it is generally not possible to buy fake salt. According to the introduction, at present, the regular salt in the market has a separate logistics code for each package, and the duplication of the logistics code or irregular packing is likely to be false salt.
"low threshold, low cost and high profit" are the fundamental reasons for the false salt flowing into the market. Zhao Jiansheng, the director of the Taizhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, said that in the case and some other fake salt cases, many criminals have the front of the sale of fake salt. The key lies in the lack of industrial salt sales and supervision, and the lack of punishment.
is even more worrying that industrial salt has "impulses" into the salt market. It is understood that the annual output of salt is about 90 million tons, of which about 82 million tons are industrial salt and only about 8 million tons of salt. The salt production capacity in the whole country is 1.1 billion tons per year, and the serious surplus of production capacity leads to the excess of industrial salt. Driven by profiteering, if the regulation is weak, industrial salt will easily enter the salt market.
Zhao Jiansheng and other people suggest that the whole process supervision of industrial salt production, transportation and use should be perfected. Like dangerous chemicals, industrial salt should be monitored and monitored, and production enterprises should be set up and sound records of production and sales accounts to prevent industrial salt from entering the salt market.
Tong Yuxiang said, in the future, the salt monopoly system may fade out, when the national salt can be freely circulated, only from the origin is difficult to identify. Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate and perfect the regulation system of salt circulation throughout the country.
