Recently, the Hunan Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau conducted sampling inspections of 545 batches of food in 13 categories, of which 540 batches of samples were qualified and 5 batches of samples were unqualified, including finely ground dried beans, pickles, black sesame seeds, and Shanghai green.
Xiangyue Food is the merchant who was sampled to be unqualified food, the brand's self-operated store is an eight-year-old store on a shopping website, mainly selling products such as dried fish. The problem that was detected this time is that they produced a fine grinding of dried tofu with a problem of sodium saccharin exceeding the standard, according to the national standard dried bean food must not add sodium saccharin. Sodium saccharin is a synthetic sweetener commonly used in the food industry. The National Standard for Food Safety and the Standard for the Use of Food Additives (GB 2760-2014) stipulate that sodium saccharin (in terms of saccharin) shall not be used in non-fermented soy products. Sodium saccharin has no nutritional value for the human body, eating more sodium saccharin will affect the normal secretion of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes, reduce the absorption capacity of the small intestine, and reduce appetite. The reason for the excessive saccharin sodium in solid beverages may be that the company uses the sweetener in excess of the limit or does not accurately measure the sweetener in order to increase the sweetness of the product.
According to the company's official website, Hunan Xiweijia Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is a snack food processing enterprise based on the processing and sales of flavored fish products, with nearly 1,000 cooperative distributors, and its "Xiangyue" brand has become an influential brand in the industry. In addition, the company has also been rated as a national high-tech enterprise, a provincial-level leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization, and a demonstration enterprise of scientific and technological innovation in the food industry in Hunan Province.

The price of black sesame acid sold by Pingjiang County Runfu Trading Co., Ltd. exceeded the standard

This year, the province has completed 8 centralized food safety sampling inspections.
