Food safety is a matter for tens of thousands of CPPCC members to buy leeks for self inspection.

the spring is a good time to eat leek, But in recent years, frequent incidents of poisonous leeks are chilling. How about the leek in Ji'nan? Is the sturdy leek marked by a toxin? During the two sessions of this year, the Municipal Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the chairman of the Jiyang County Federation of Cultural Federation, Ju Hui, specially bought different leeks and sent for inspection in the vegetable market and supermarket to see if they really contained pesticide residues.
the balcony has been filled with leek
"I haven't bought leeks for over a year." On the balcony of Ju Hui's house, there are several large flowerpots and foam boxes filled with seafood, all of which are leeks. Ju Hui was frightened by the poisonous leek that had been detected frequently in recent years. Some of her relatives and friends were poisoned.
before he planted leeks in his balcony, Ju Hui seldom bought leeks in the farmers' market. In order to eat the safe leek, she took a lot of effort. From the reports of some poisonous leeks, she learned that the leaves of the poisonous leeks looked very green and very strong. If there is a suspicion of leek, she never buy, even on the surface of the normal leek, she buy home and wash it again and again, and take brine for half an hour to eat. Every time she comes to downtown Ji'nan, she always goes to the mall to buy some chives. But later on television, some organic vegetables are also false, the sales staff to gain the profit, the ordinary vegetable change face to face, paste organic label disguise sales. She bought some leek seeds and planted them on the balcony. But the leeks planted on the balcony are thin and small, and they can eat for more than 20 days. In spite of this, she did not buy the leek. "Leek contains pesticides in the body is difficult to metabolize, far more harm than ordinary pesticides, compared to health, appetite is not so important." Ju Hui said that in life, she was not a fine person. So cautious, just for leek, buy other fruits and vegetables, just wash more than two times, peeled food only. And she was not only one of the people who had a prejudice against the leek. When eating out, many people refuse to eat leek dumplings.
choose three kinds of leeks for
leek is really so terrible? The heart of Ju Hui has been very contradictory. On the one hand, she feels that after many times the media has been exposed, the leek should be under the supervision of the relevant departments, and the toxic leeks are difficult to flow to the market; on the other hand, she is worried about how to buy poisonous leeks. She wants to do a test in person to see if the market is toxic. After knowing the idea of Ju Hui, our reporter contacted the laboratory of toxic and harmful substances in Carrefour supermarket of Ji'nan to test the leek.
Ju Hui attached great importance to this opportunity. Yesterday she came to the supermarket and the farmer's market to buy several different kinds of leeks: the roots were thick, the leaves were thick, the roots were very purple, the leaves were short, the roots were white, and Ye Zilve was green and green. The 3 leeks are organic vegetables, one is the first crop of leek in real estate, and the other is Southern cuisine.
for the personally purchased leek samples, Ju Hui intuitively believes that two of them are suspected. It may be caused by spraying pesticides that are too strong.
test eligibility let her re know leek
in Carrefour's toxic and harmful substances testing room, the inspector used the pesticide residue speed test card to carry out the test. The surveyor said that the pesticide fast test card can quickly detect the residues of organophosphorus and carbamate in vegetables, which are two large and toxic insecticides. The residues of organophosphorus pesticides in leek are relatively high.
in the testing room, the inspector put on the gloves, rubbed the different samples of the leek out of the juice and dripped it to the test paper. After ten minutes, the test paper became blue. It was negative, the inspectors said. If the test paper is white, it is proved that the leek contains a high concentration of pesticides; if the test paper is light blue, it proves to contain a weak pesticide; the test paper is blue, which proves that there is no pesticide residue. To this test result, Ju Hui song is relieved.
newspaper reported that the last two sessions
checks from the source to ensure vegetable safety
How can the vegetables on the table be safer? Ju Hui said that only when we check from the source and manage the production and use of pesticides can we afford to rest assured.
Ju Hui said that the relevant departments of the state should strictly control the production and sale of toxic pesticides, so that those pesticides that have been banned from production will not revive. And farmers are not willing to use pesticides with small toxic effects, most of which are due to cost considerations. Therefore, the relevant departments of the state are recommended to subsidize farmers' use of these green pesticides. In addition, we should strengthen the management of the use of pesticides, some volatile pesticides, as long as a certain period of time, the toxic effect is very small, and farmers know that the vegetables have just sprayed pesticide poisonous vegetables, still selling, the behavior of this kind of crime should be severely hit.
vegetable containing pesticides is difficult to identify
for the presence of toxic leeks on the market. A staff member of the Agricultural Bureau said that the leek will have leek maggot, because the leek is hidden in the soil, and the common practice is to fill the ground with high toxic organophosphorus pesticides. The organic phosphorus pesticides entering the root of leek can not be washed away.
Qu Jingran, an associate professor at the Shandong Light Industries College's School of food and Bioengineering, said that pesticide residues in vegetables could not be identified by the naked eye, said Qu Jingran, a deputy professor of food and bioengineering at the Shandong Light Industries College. She said that some leek leaves are thick and may be the reason for using fertilizers. The color of leaves is affected by light. The leeks produced in greenhouses are green, but they do not necessarily guarantee that no pesticides are sprayed.
it is not necessarily useful for people to think that it can remove pesticides more than once. She said that spraying the volatile pesticides more times or more than two days can reduce the pesticide content, while the pesticide for perfusion is invalid. The way of removing poison from rice washing water and detergent is proved to be of no special effect through experiments.
