A description of some of the inspection items

· 1 ·

Residual amount of aluminum (dry sample, in Al)

Potassium aluminum sulfate (also known as potassium alum), ammonium aluminum sulfate (also known as ammonium alum) is a commonly used leavening agent and stabilizer in food processing, and aluminum residues are produced after use. Aluminum is not an essential trace element of the human body, does not participate in normal physiological metabolism, has accumulation, excessive intake will affect the body's absorption of iron, calcium and other components, resulting in osteoporosis, anemia, and even affect the development of nerve cells. The Announcement of the National Health and Family Planning Commission on Approving β-Galactosidase as a New Variety of Food Additives (No. 1 [2015]) stipulates that the residual amount of aluminum in fried noodle products (homemade) in catering food shall not exceed 100mg/kg; the residue of aluminum in vermicelli and vermicelli shall not exceed 200mg/kg. The reason for the unqualified residual amount of aluminum may be caused by the illegal and excessive use of the business, reflecting the weak awareness of the company's law-abiding operation.

6-Benzyl adenine (6-BA)

6-Benzyl adenine (6-BA) is a plant growth regulator that has been widely used in the production of bean sprouts, because of its certain accumulation of toxicity to the human body, the State Food and Drug Administration, the Ministry of Agriculture and the National Health and Family Planning Commission on the prohibition of the use of 6-benzyl adenine and other substances in the production process of bean sprouts (No. 11 of 2015) stipulates that producers may not use 6-benzyl adenine (6-BA) substances in the production process of bean sprouts, Bean sprout operators shall not deal in bean sprouts containing 6-benzyl adenine (6-BA) substances. Producers used illegally in order to inhibit bean sprouts from rooting and increase the yield of bean sprouts, resulting in the detection of 6-benzyl adenine (6-BA) in bean sprouts.

cadmium

Cadmium is one of the most common heavy metal element contaminants in aquatic products. The National Standard for Food Safety (GB 2762-2017) stipulates that the maximum limit of cadmium in freshly frozen aquatic animals (crustaceans) is 0.5mg/kg. Cadmium exceeding the standard in aquatic products may be caused by the enrichment of cadmium elements in the environment during the breeding process. The harm of cadmium to the human body is mainly chronic accumulation, and long-term large intake of foods with excessive cadmium content may lead to kidney and bone damage.

Rot is sharp

Putrex is a low-toxic systemic fungicide with dual roles of protection and treatment, mainly used for the prevention and control of gray mold disease in vegetables and fruit trees. The Maximum Residue Limit of Pesticides in Food Safety National Standards (GB2763-2019) stipulates that the maximum residue limit of putrefaction in leeks is 0.2mg/kg. Putrefaction has a stimulating effect on the eyes and skin, and has low oral toxicity. A small amount of pesticide residues will not cause acute poisoning in the human body, but long-term consumption of food with excessive pesticide residues has a certain impact on human health.

· 5 ·

phorate

Methion is a highly toxic systemic insecticide and acaricide, which has the characteristics of touch killing, gastric toxicity, fumigation, and long effectiveness. The National Standard for Food Safety The maximum residue limit of pesticides in food (GB 2763-2019) stipulates that the maximum residue limit of phosphorus in leafy vegetables is 0.01mg/kg. A small amount of pesticide residues will not cause acute poisoning in the human body, but long-term consumption of food with excessive pesticide residues has a certain impact on human health.

electrical conductivity

The degree of conductivity of water is called conductivity. It reflects the amount of salt in the water, the degree of electrolytes present in the water, and is a very important indicator of water quality. The conductivity of pure drinking water for drinking pure water is stipulated in the "Bottled Drinking Pure Water" (GB 17323-1998) ≤ 10 μS/cm. The reason for the high conductivity may be the decline in the desalination rate caused by the aging of the reverse osmosis membrane module in production; or the raw water pretreatment is not up to standard, resulting in poor water quality of the inlet water of the reverse osmosis equipment; and it may also be that the RO film in the reverse osmosis equipment is damaged and causes salt leakage.

· 7 ·

Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a conditional pathogenic bacteria, widely distributed in water, air, normal human skin, respiratory tract and intestines, etc., easy to survive in a humid environment, has a strong resistance to disinfectants, ultraviolet rays, etc., and has health risks for people with weak resistance. The National Standard for Food Safety packaged drinking water (GB 19298-2014) stipulates that the standard value of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is n=5, c=0, m=0, and the unit is CFU/250mL. The reason for the excessive standard of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in bottled drinking water may be improper protection of water sources and pollution of water bodies; some enterprises do not have adequate environmental health supervision, insufficient standardization of operation, and cross-contamination in the production process; in the circulation link, the storage time is long, and the repeated recycling of buckets increases the risk of secondary pollution.

· 8 ·

Alcohol content

Alcohol content, also known as alcohol content, refers to the number of milliliters of ethanol (alcohol) contained in 100 ml of wine at 20 ° C, that is, the percentage of volume (capacity). Alcohol content is a physical and chemical index of wine, and the alcohol content should meet the specified value of its label± 1.0% vol. The reason for the unqualified may be that some production enterprises have improper quality control and loose packaging, resulting in alcohol volatilization; or insufficient inspection capacity of enterprises to cause deviations in inspection results; and it may also be that production enterprises pass off low-grade liquor as high-grade liquor for profit.

· 9 ·

Total number of colonies

The total number of colonies is an indicative microbiological indicator, which is mainly used to evaluate the cleanliness of food and reflect whether the food meets hygienic requirements during production. The National Standard for Food Safety (GB 17401-2014) stipulates that the maximum limit value of the total number of colonies is n=5, c=2, m=104, and M=105CFU/g. The reason why the total number of colonies in the pot and pan exceeds the standard may be that individual enterprises do not strictly control the sanitary conditions of the production and processing process according to the requirements, or the cleaning and disinfection of packaging containers is not in place, and it may also be related to the lax sealing of product packaging and improper control of storage and transportation conditions. The total number of colonies in food exceeds the standard, which will destroy the nutritional composition of food and accelerate food spoilage.

· 10 ·

Sulfur dioxide residue

Sulfur dioxide (as well as potassium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite and other additives) has bleaching, preservative and antioxidant effects on food, and is a commonly used bleaching agent and preservative in food processing, and sulfur dioxide residues are produced after use. The National Standard for Food Safety and the Standard for the Use of Food Additives (GB 2760-2014) stipulate that the rice flour products in grain processing products shall not use sulfur dioxide, and the residual amount of sulfur dioxide may be caused by the use of bleaching agents such as sulfites in the process of processing to achieve the purpose of bleaching and antiseptic. The intake of a small amount of sulfur dioxide can be excreted from the body by urine after enzymatic transformation, and generally does not cause adverse effects on human health, but if the long-term excessive intake of sulfur dioxide may be detrimental to health.

· 11 ·

Dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salts (in terms of dehydroacetic acid)

As a broad-spectrum food preservative, dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt have low toxicity and have a good inhibitory effect on mold, yeast and bacteria. The National Standard for Food Safety and the Standard for the Use of Food Additives (GB 2760-2014) stipulate that dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt (measured in terms of dehydroacetic acid) shall not be used in grain processed products. The reason for the excessive dehydroacetic acid may be that individual enterprises use the additive beyond the scope to prevent food spoilage, or the compound additive used is higher in the additive content.
