Sunset yellow, also known as edible yellow No. 3, is a common synthetic colorant and is widely used in food production. If the long-term intake of foods exceeding the standard of sunset yellow, it will cause harm to human health, and may cause rubella, urticaria, diarrhea, and ADHD.
According to the Foshan Municipal Supervision Bureau, according to the National Standard for Food Safety and the Standard for the Use of Food Additives (GB 2760-2014), homemade milk tea must not be added with sunset yellow. The detection of sunset yellow in milk tea indicates that the production enterprises do not have a good understanding of the relevant provisions of the "National Standard for Food Safety and the Standard for the Use of Food Additives" (GB 2760-2014), and abuse synthetic pigments or use raw materials with sunset yellow in order to improve product color and increase market value.
Two sugar-free products were found to contain total sugar content that exceeded the sugar-free standard
Sugar-free milk tea does not equal no sugar
The notice shows that from the perspective of specific sampling items, in the total sugar project, the project sampled a total of 323 batches of milk tea samples, including sugar-free, three-point sugar, semi-sugar, seven-point sugar, standard sugar (normal sugar), polysaccharides and other products with different sugar content.
Among them, the highest total sugar content is 13.4g/100g, the lowest is 0.9g/100g, and the median value is 4.8g/100g. Among them, the detection values of two sugar-free products were 0.98g/100g and 0.97g/100g, respectively. According to China's food nutrition labeling regulations, in food or beverages, the content of natural sweet sugar is less than 0.5g/100g, or 0.5g/100ml, which can be labeled as sugar-free. Below 5g/100g, or 5g/100ml, it can be labeled as low sugar. Therefore, even milk tea labeled sugar-free may contain sugar.
