in a store selling meat additives, the reporter saw beef cream, mutton cream, chicken cream, duck paste and other meat flavors, and also can play a variety of "essence", "powder" and so on, the price range from ten yuan to tens of yuan, the most expensive less than fifty or sixty yuan. According to the store owner, in the processing of food such as hanging soup, chafing dish, stir fry, you can add these flavour agents to the right amount, the effect is very good, and the price is very cheap.
there are also many additives directly advertised in the name of well-known products, such as "Orlean baking wing pickle". "Make sure the roasted wings are exactly the same as those you eat in KFC." The owner of the shop said it.
reporters look at the ingredients of these flavours and find that although they are food additives themselves, they are made up of a variety of additives and are compound food additives.
[b], who is buying the additive [/b]
from the hotel to the stall, the reporter meets several customers who come to buy additives, one of them is a buyer of a hotel in the mountain road. "All the hotels are going to use it." When the reporter asked whether the hotel had to use additives, the buyer said.
additive shops near the two way flyover are mainly divided into two categories: baking additives and general food additives. According to the store owner, the buyers who came to buy additives from large hotels, chain cake shops to roadside stalls, small restaurants, and small cake houses in the vegetable market. "Usually few ordinary citizens come to buy it."
additive packaging has a clear indication of the standard dosage, but how to use it after buying it, and how much you use it, "it's up to you." Several buyers interviewed by the reporters also indicated that they did not have very precise doses when they were used. "It takes a long time to master the taste, which is almost the same amount."
many stores have no idea about the products they sell. "We only sell, and do not do it, but also not clear, you have to have their own formula, eat hard to eat hard or your business, but with our material, Titian effect is very good, to buy all good." The reporter consulted a shopkeeper on the grounds of opening the rice noodle shop.
[b] who is in management? So many "mother-in-law" should be managed by who? [/b]
[/b]
[b] food safety involves every citizen. Where is the supervision? [/b]
opinion on strengthening the supervision and management of food production and processing small workshops and food vendors in accordance with the government office of the provincial government of Shandong. According to the division of responsibilities, the supervision and management of the small workshop of food production and processing (without current sale) is in charge of the quality and technical supervision department; the supervision and administration of food vendors and the provision of catering services are responsible for the food and drug supervision and administration departments and do not provide catering services, and the administrative departments for Industry and commerce are responsible.
the additives contained in the small workshop made by the small workshop exceeded the standard, and did it have any harm to the health of the body? The reporter contacted the Ji'nan quality inspection department on the matter, and the other refused to interview the matter. Ji'nan industrial and commercial departments responsible person said they rarely received complaints about food additives. The provincial food and drug administration responsible person said that it is not clear which department the regulatory function of the additives should belong to.
[b] / > experts point out that the abuse of additives is too low [/b]
[/b]
professor Yu Hongxia, who is engaged in the research of nutrition and food hygiene at the school of public health of Shandong University, that the use of food additives in the past is a large food processing enterprise. After the opening of the market economy, a large number of food workshops will use additives in the production of food, and there is no clear regulation and restriction on the industry.
Yu Hongxia said that the use of additives must be in accordance with two specifications: first, the raw materials for additives must be produced by the state approved enterprises and must conform to the national standards. Each kind of food additives must be independently verified and confirmed to be harmless to the human body; and two, the additive must conform to the use of food additives in the process of use. The standard of birth prohibits abuse and ultra - wide use.
however, it is difficult to really enter the monitoring stage. Yu Hongxia said that formal enterprises can control, at least let people understand what they have used, which is very good. For a large number of small food shops, it is really impossible to know exactly what they have used in making food and what they have added.
and, at present, most of the health standards are regulated only for some kind of food additives, but at present, many food additives in the market are complex, such as beef paste additives, which are difficult to be detected in the process of detection.
besides, the very low cost of breaking the law is also an important issue. "If some businesses abuse food additives, there will be more" steamed bread "coming out. The abuse of food additives is a serious hazard to public health and safety. I think it is necessary to increase the cost of illegal activities. Yu Hongxia said.
