Tmall Chunjiangyue food flagship store recently exposed food quality problems again, it is worth mentioning that the flagship store was just reported last month due to unqualified food sampling.

Don't "Tao"! A snack in this online food flagship store may be at risk of teratogenicity and carcinogenesis

Wumei sampling test is unqualified, or there is a risk of teratogenicity and carcinogenesis

According to the Notice [2021 No. 42] issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation on the failure of 7 batches of food sampling on November 1, 2021, the non-seeded Large Wumei (Li Mei products) sold by Tmall Chunjiangyue Food Flagship Store (operated by Zhejiang Chunjiangyue Food Co., Ltd.) on Tmall (online store) and sold by Zhejiang Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food"), which is nominally sold by Zhejiang Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food"), which is bright blue, amaranth red, When the same color coloring agent is mixed, the sum of the proportion of each dosage to its maximum use does not meet the provisions of the national food safety standards.

China Quality News Network noted that the flagship store was just notified by the State Administration for Market Regulation last month and involved the same problem.

On October 9, 2021, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice on the failure of 7 batches of food sampling inspection [No. 40 [2021], showing that tmall Chunjiangyue Food flagship store (operator is Zhejiang Province Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food Co., Ltd.) sold in Tmall Mall (online store), nominally sold by Zhejiang Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Province Hangzhou Guoleyuan Food Co., Ltd. (sub-package), of which bright blue, amaranth red, The sum of the proportions of the respective dosages of the same color coloring agents in the mixed use of their maximum use does not meet the provisions of the national food safety standards.

It is worth noting that long-term intake of bright blue, amaranth red food has the possibility of teratogenicity and carcinogenicity, and long-term intake of foods with excessive colorants may also have an impact on human health.

It is reported that bright blue is also known as edible blue No. 2, water-soluble non-azo compounds; amaranth red, also known as blue acid red, azo compounds, both are common synthetic colorants, widely used in food production. If the long-term intake of food exceeds the standard of the two, there is a possibility of teratogenicity and carcinogenesis. The National Standard for Food Safety And the Standard for the Use of Food Additives (gb 2760-2014) stipulates that the maximum use of bright blue in the candied fruit is 0.025g/kg; in the standard, the maximum use of amaranth red in candied fruits is 0.05g/kg. The reason why bright blue and amaranth red exceed the standard may be that the measurement in the production process is not accurate, resulting in the final product exceeding the standard, or it may be that the production enterprises use too much to improve the color of the product and increase the market value.

Colorants, also known as food coloring, are used to give and improve the color of food products. If long-term excessive intake, it will increase the burden on the liver and gastrointestinal tract, causing certain harm to human health. The above-mentioned standard stipulates that the sum of the proportions of the respective dosages of the same color colorants in the mixed use of their maximum use shall not exceed 1. The reason why this index exceeds the standard in the candied fruit may be that the production enterprise does not understand the national food safety standards and adds a variety of the same color colorants in excess of the limit, or it may not strictly control the dosage of the same color colorants in the production and processing process.

The seller also exposed the operation of preservatives exceeding the standard of food

China Quality News Network combed the relevant information and found that the seller of the unqualified Wumei in this sampling, Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food, was also found to have sold foods with excessive preservatives.

On June 12, 2020, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice on the unqualified situation of 12 batches of food, showing that the navel cake (production date: 2020/3/4) sold by Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food Co., Ltd. in Zhejiang Province, nominally entrusted by Hangzhou Chunjiangyue Food Co., Ltd. of Zhejiang Province, and commissioned by Lidong Food Factory in Chenghai District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province, dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt (in terms of dehydroacetic acid) did not meet the provisions of the national standard for food safety (inspection result: 0.804g/kg; standard value: ≤0.5g/ kg)。

It is understood that dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt, as a food additive, are widely used as preservatives and have a strong inhibitory effect on mold. The above-mentioned standard stipulates that the dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt in the pastry shall not exceed 0.5g/kg. Long-term consumption of dehydroacetic acid and its sodium salt exceeding the standard products may have a certain impact on human health.
