On April 17, the Beijing Municipal Administration for Market Supervision and Administration issued an announcement on the information on food safety supervision and sampling in 2020 (Issue 18, 2020). Among them, the osmanthus sour plum soup beverage (300ml/bottle, 2019-09-09) produced by the nominal Xinyuanzhai (Tianjin) Beverage Co., Ltd. and operated by Beijing Ya'er LiJi Nancheng Catering Co., Ltd.) has a detection value of 1.01 k/kg for cyclamate (measured by cyclohexyl aminosulfonic acid), while the national standard value is ≤0.65 k/kg. The inspection institution is the Inspection and Quarantine Technical Center of Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau.
Cyclamate is a common sweetener that is 30 to 40 times sweeter than sucrose. As a non-nutritive sweetener, it can be widely used in bread, pastries, beverages, prepared wines and preserves. The National Standard for Food Safety And the Standard for the Use of Food Additives (gb 2760-2014) clearly stipulates that the maximum use of cyclamate in beverages is 0.65 g/kg.
Xinyuanzhai (Tianjin) Beverage Co., Ltd. objected to the test results and applied for re-inspection; after re-inspection by the National Meat Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, the preliminary inspection conclusion was maintained.
