Ji'nan: 8 edible oil enterprises exceeded plasticizer due to pipeline dissolution
source:
many citizens have heard that the liquor plasticizer exceeds the standard. In fact, edible vegetable oil may also exceed the standard of plasticizer. 15, Ji'nan Municipal Bureau of food and Drug Administration said that in December, 19 local enterprises in the city produced the food plant oil plasticizer risk monitoring, some enterprises produced product plasticizer projects over the national reference value. According to analysis, plasticizer is mainly derived from the dissolution of plastic pipes.
it is understood that 8 of the 19 enterprises producing edible vegetable oils have problems, and the products plasticizer project exceeds the national reference value. Dibutyl phthalate, commonly known as a plasticizer, is an environmental hormone that affects human endocrine, endangers male reproductive capacity and causes female precocious puberty. Long term intake may lead to liver cancer. If a child is in a developmental period, the potential harm will be greater.
for this, the Municipal Food and drug administration asked the enterprises concerned to stop selling the problem products and analyze the causes of the problems. After the problem of self-examination and self correction, it was found that the "culprit" was concentrated in the dissolving of plastic pipes, and even a single section of plastic hose resulted in the "unqualified" batch of products. A problem of the oil producers in charge of a problem, before the manufacturer of sesame, water and other raw materials and bottles, bottles and other packages of plasticizers have been tested, no abnormalities were found, and finally the misgivings turned to production equipment, all plastic equipment valves, filter, filling pipes and so on no plasticization more After the replacement, the result of the product re inspection is qualified.
the responsible person in charge of the Municipal Food and Food Administration said that the oil production enterprises should take this risk monitoring as the alarm clock, replace all plastic pipes, non food grade and old containers, as far as possible to achieve "non plastic" production, thoroughly solve the problem of superplasticizers in edible oil products.
most of the mass oil products use plastic containers
food grade plastic for long and easily toxic
professor Song Yanyan, Professor of public health at Shandong University, said that the sources of plasticizers in food are mainly two kinds, one is illegally added, and two is from plastic containers, pipes or packaging materials. Migrate to food. It should be noted that plasticizer migration is directly proportional to temperature and time factors. The higher the temperature and the longer the time, the more plasticizer will migrate.
reporter visited some supermarkets and found that most of the ordinary public edible oil products sold on the market are currently sold on the market, with the exception of imported olive oil, high end camellia oil and other edible oil products, which are expensive and use small packaging. Supermarket salesmen said: "edible oil has been used in plastic barrels all the time, these are safety materials, there is no plasticizer."
it is understood that there are relevant hygienic standards for the variety, use range and maximum use of additives for food containers and packaged drinks. The maximum allowable usage of two main plasticizers, two butyl benzoate and two phthalic acid, benzoate, and two main plasticizers, are 35% and 50%, respectively. The edible oil sold on the market now is used for packaging materials such as PET (Polyterephthalate) or PP (polypropylene), all of which are approved by the state.
many enterprises indicated that the packages used were food grade, and there was no risk of excessive plasticizer. As everyone knows, plastic also has shelf life, aging will also "poison". The reporter has learned that the use of plastic products and the different cleaning methods have a certain impact on the "life" of plastic products. Although there is no clear term for which material to guarantee the quality of the plastic, there is a general statement that the shelf life of most plastic products is from 3 to 5 years. "When the enterprise chooses the food grade package, we should pay attention to see whether the supplier has the quality of production, the QS mark, the food grade certification and so on. After the choice of the product, the product is tested." The person in charge of the Municipal Food and Drug Administration said.
in addition, the reporter learned that as early as 2011, our country had included the plasticizer in the risk monitoring, which mainly tested the solubility of the plasticizer and the plasticizer in the edible oil. However, at present, there are no testing items on the residue standard of plasticizer composition in the national standard of edible oil products, so most of the manufacturers do not do the plasticizer composition test. The standard is used only when sampling is done in the market, but there is no similar standard control in production. At the same time, there is a large gap between product standards and national health standards and food safety standards.
experts suggest that under normal circumstances, consumers should not panic and try to buy famous brands of cooking oil. If the regular manufacturers produce plastic barrels according to the normal standards, the plasticizer content should be tiny. If consumers have concerns about plastic barrels, it is recommended to buy Edible Oil and pour them into glass bottles or ceramic bottles to replace them, in order to reduce the chance of penetration of plasticizers.
