Do you know that the edible oil commonly found on our dining table actually has its "dark side"? According to the investigation, in order to save trouble and make money, some truck drivers even took tankers full of coal-to-oil directly to load edible soybean oil for transportation!
Forget it, the point is that you don't even bother to wash the jar, and as a result, the residual chemicals flow into the cooking oil. You must know that these chemicals are all big poisons, which are very harmful to human health.
Related Chemical Component Supplements: (Negligible)
According to reports, coal-to-liquid is a chemical liquid product processed from coal, and the main components include hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and a certain amount of sulfides. These ingredients are harmful to human health.
For example, unsaturated hydrocarbons are prone to the formation of free radicals, which can lead to cellular DNA damage; Aromatic hydrocarbons may cause liver and kidney dysfunction and nervous system damage; Sulfides, on the other hand, can cause damage to the respiratory and digestive systems. Therefore, if these harmful substances are mixed into edible oil, it will pose a great risk to the health of consumers.
However, these drivers are very good at "exploiting loopholes", and some directly spray the tank with the word "edible oil" at will, plus a few fake photos, and they have deceived the inspection of the edible oil factory.
In this way, consumers are the biggest wrongdoers, not only money is spent in vain, but also health may be threatened, which is really unfair.
According to reports,. However, in reality, many transportation companies and edible oil manufacturers do not implement the regulations and do not pay attention to the cleanliness of tankers.
Some manufacturers don't even bother to enter the tank for inspection, and only need the driver to take a few surface photos. This perfunctory attitude provides an opportunity for the driver's mixed behavior.
In addition, even if the consignee of edible oil will take samples for inspection at the time of unloading, due to the limited inspection items, if other impurities are mixed into the edible oil, it is difficult to find it by ordinary physical and chemical testing.
This also means that some harmful substances hidden in edible oil are very likely to escape the border and directly flow into the people's table.
It can be said that this kind of mixed packaging behavior not only violates relevant laws and regulations, but also seriously violates the basic principles of food safety.
On the one hand, some transportation companies lack safety and social responsibility awareness in order to pursue higher profits
On the other hand, there are also certain deficiencies in the supervision of regulatory authorities.
For example, most of the current regulatory measures focus more on the composition of edible oil, and the control of transportation links needs to be strengthened.
I think it is necessary for the government to increase its regulation, such as increasing the frequency of spot checks on the cleanliness of transport vehicles and increasing penalties for violations.
At the same time, a quality traceability mechanism for the whole chain of edible oil production, transportation and storage should be established to ensure that each link can be responsible for the health of consumers.
Only in this way can we truly safeguard the interests of consumers and prevent these drivers and manufacturers who want to kill their lives from harming ordinary people again.
