Jiangsu Provincial Market Supervision Bureau: "Good to think of you" red apricot dried sampling inspection is not qualified, and the residual amount of sulfur dioxide exceeds the standard

Recently, the official website of the Jiangsu Provincial Market Supervision and Administration Bureau issued a notice of 10 batches of unqualified food, which is good to think that you are "on the list" due to the residual amount of sulfur dioxide exceeding the standard.

The notice shows that the dried red apricot produced by Lianyungang Hongrunfa Food Co., Ltd. entrusted by the nominal Good Thinking You Health Food Co., Ltd. does not meet the national standards for food safety. The initial inspection institution is Nanjing Municipal Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute, and the re-inspection institution is Nanjing Customs Animal, Plant and Food Testing Center.

According to the data, sulfur dioxide is a commonly used bleaching agent and preservative in food processing, which has bleaching, antiseptic and antioxidant effects. A small amount of sulfur dioxide entering the human body will not cause health hazards to the body, but excessive consumption will cause gastrointestinal reactions such as nausea and vomiting.

The reason for the excessive sulfur dioxide in food may be the excessive use of sulfur dioxide by producers to improve the color of the product after reducing costs, or it may be that it is not measured or measured inaccurately when used, or it may be caused by the traditional process of using sulfur fumigation bleaching or directly using sulfite soaking.
