Mr. Zhang is a native of Guangzhou. He often eats the night snack on this section of the road.

Market: a lot of casserole porridge shop to buy additives
yesterday, the reporter also visited a number of stores in the one German food daily miscellaneous wholesale market, and found that "flavor enhancer vanillin, ethyl maltol" and so on are sold, and placed in the store's prominent position. Many shopkeepers said that the two kinds of additives are all additives with national standards, widely used in non-staple food manufacturers, generally manufacturers are wholesale, and have not sent the two kinds of goods to the pot porridge shop.
in addition to the above two additives, many shops have a food additive called "casserole seasoning". The additive is made from Guangzhou Tianhui food factory. The raw material is meat extract, chicken powder and shrimp powder. The application range is the porridge of sand pot and various kinds of porridge soup. The price of 500 grams one bottle ranges from 50 yuan to 60 yuan.
a shop owner said the kind of additives is better selling, but the sales are not big, because a pot of a pot of congee often only needs to add 1/4 tablespoons of seasoning, can achieve the effect of fresh.
"after the release, there is seafood taste in the porridge, and then put some coriander into a casserole." The owner said that one bottle can add 500 to 600 portions of casserole porridge.
whether this kind of additive can be used to cover the smell of dead shrimp and crab, many shopkeepers haven't talked about it.
the owner of Tian Hui food factory said that the additive was in line with the relevant regulations of the state. "This is not the original intention of the production of the congee in the casserole, and the purpose of the production is to make it normal and to increase nutrition," the person in charge was surprised at the content of the netizen.
the person in charge did not want to disclose the sales and direction of the food additive, and indicated that the problem was in circulation. If there was a need, the company would cooperate with the relevant departments.
for this kind of additive, the reporter visited the casserole shop denied that it had been used before, and said no use of additives.
3 to identify "chemical porridge"
/>3 / >
for the people who like to eat the pot porridge, how to discriminate between the casserole porridge with red shrimp powder, ethyl maltol and other fragrance enhancer? Gao Rongxin, one of the ten main food gods in Hongkong, said that to distinguish "chemical porridge", we can start from the following 3 aspects:
Color - the ordinary sand pot porridge, only shrimp and crab is red, porridge water will not have red, some rice with green vegetables and other boil, may also show a pale yellow, so if porridge is red It might be a "chemical gruel" with red shrimp powder.
- fragrant - vanillin and ethyl maltol are all flavor enhancer. Its fragrance is very strong, vanilla flavor is milky, ethyl maltol is sweet and sweet, and the flavor of porridge is not greasy, soft and long, and if the aroma is too strong or sweet, it may be used to add fragrance.
taste - this is mainly a distinction between the use of dead shrimp, crabs, ordinary living shrimp, and crabs because of the slaughter, so the meat is tight and tender, and the dead crabs are fleshy, and taste like eating flour or cravings.
of course, in addition, it is also one of the ways to identify some big brands or famous brand casserole shops.
use additives to cover up the smell of dead shrimp and crab?
a person in the industry said that some small casserole porridge stores add flavor enhancer and red shrimp powder, mainly because of the use of dead shrimp and dead crabs, on the one hand to cover up its odor; on the other hand, the color, aroma and taste of the dead crabs are not cooked, and the chemicals are made by these chemicals. "Clever synthesis", "this can save a lot of money".
the owner of a casserole porridge shop in Zhongshan said red shrimp powder made from shrimps can make the dead shrimp taste the living shrimp. At present, the fresh shrimp in the seafood market may be more than 30 yuan a kilo, and the dead shrimp is only a few yuan a kilo, and only a few cents of the cost of the additive can be added in one kilogram of porridge. The cost difference can reach five or six times. "
" the use of additives can have the fragrance of the saying, is the excuse of saving money, the real selection of seafood, rice and other good ingredients of the fragrance more pure. " Luo Long Ming said, in order to make money, those who join the incense adding agent in order to make money, it is very irresponsible to have such a bad effect on the whole industry by adopting the way of saving the cost. He hoped that industry enterprises should not lose their conscience in order to save costs, but also to make consumers feel relieved by practical actions.
surprise inspection did not find the use of additive
Gan Ping, deputy director of the food safety department of Guangdong provincial health department, said the specific variety and dosage of the additives added to the porridge of the casseroles, and the food and Drug Administration Bureau to obtain evidence and investigation. It will be able to determine whether it is in accordance with the regulations. "The standard for the use of food additives" stipulates that the staple food can not be added to the additive. In general, the main raw material of the porridge is rice, and any additive can not be added. The dead shrimp and crab do not stipulate that they must not eat, but to see if they are spoilage and release toxins that are harmful to human body.
the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of food and Drug Administration said that after the media exposure of the casserole porridge incident, the Bureau immediately organized law enforcement officers to intervene in the investigation, and the law enforcement officers went to the locale where the porridge was concentrated in the casserole. From the inspection situation, as of now, the porridge shop has not found the use of flavoring agent vanillin, ethyl maltol and other edible spices, nor the use of dead crabs to make the casserole porridge.
it is reported that, according to the standard of the use of food additives, vanillin and ethyl maltol are all synthetic flavors for the use of food, but once the consumer asks for the use of food additives, the catering units must be informed and the consumers have the right to know.
Jiang Zhuoqin, deputy director of the Institute of preventive medicine, Zhongshan University, also said that adding additives in food is unreasonable.
professor Zheng Jianxian, a professor of the school of light industry and food at the South China University of Technology, has publicly stated that national law does not specify whether it is allowed to be put into synthetic fragrances. If the addition of synthetic fragrances is to cover the inherent quality of the original food, it is illegal.
