4, Administration Organization in Hunan market for vegetable products, water, fruit products , roasted food and nut products, egg products , sugar , aquatic 508 batches of samples of 13 categories of food includingproducts, starch and starch products , cakes , soy products , bee products , catering food, food additives , edible agricultural products, etc.
, carried out food safety sampling inspections , and 8 batches of food were found to be unqualified
.

 

　　Microbial contamination detected in 2 batches of food

 

　　Microbial contamination was detected in 2 batches of food.
The total number of colonies of Chai Gefen produced by Zhangjiajie Xianghechun Tourist Food Co.
, Ltd.
sold by Zhangjiajie Minxuan Supermarket did not meet the national food safety standards; produced and sold by Hengshan County Xiangyan Bean Products Factory Xiangyan tea oil fermented bean curd, coliforms do not meet the requirements of national food safety standards
.

 

　　The total number of colonies is an indicative microbial index, not an index of pathogenic bacteria that reflects the hygienic requirements of the food in the production process
.
If the total number of bacterial colonies in the food exceeds the standard, it will destroy the nutritional content of the food and make the food lose its edible value; it will also accelerate the spoilage of the food, which may endanger human health
.
According to the National Food Safety Standard Beverage (GB7101—2015), the total number of colonies in 5 samples of the same batch of individually packaged solid beverages shall not exceed 5x104CFU/g, and the test results of up to 2 samples are allowed to exceed 103CFU/g
.
The "National Food Safety Standard Edible Starch" (GB31637-2016) stipulates that the total number of bacterial colonies in 5 samples of the same batch of edible starch shall not exceed 105 CFU/g, and the test results of up to 2 samples are allowed to exceed 104 CFU/g
.
Exceeding the total number of colonies may be due to the fact that the initial bacterial count of the raw materials used by individual enterprises is relatively high, and the hygienic conditions of the production and processing process are not strictly controlled as required, or the packaging containers are not cleaned and disinfected in place, or they may not be tightly sealed with the product packaging and stored.
Improper control of transportation conditions
.

 

　　The coliform is one of the commonly used indicators to indicate the status of food contamination
.
The detection of coliforms in the food indicates that it is more likely to be contaminated by pathogenic bacteria (such as Salmonella, Shigella, and pathogenic Escherichia coli)
.
The "National Food Safety Standard Soy Products" (GB 2712-2014) stipulates that the test results of coliform bacteria in 5 samples of the same batch of soy products shall not exceed 103CFU/g, and the test results of up to 2 samples are allowed to exceed 102CFU/ g
.
The reason for the excessive coliforms in soy products may be the contamination of the raw materials and packaging used in the product; or the lack of strict sanitation control during the production and processing process
.

 

　　Food additives detected in 2 batches of food

 

　　Two batches of food were detected with food additives.
They were turkey spicy toast (spicy beef flavor) produced and sold by Hunan Buer Partner Food Co.
, Ltd.
The test value of natamycin did not meet the national food safety standards; Dongkou County The shredded dried tofu (barbecue flavor) (soy product) sold in Hongwang Shopping Plaza and produced by Hunan Jinfuyuan Food Co.
, Ltd.
, the detection value of aluminum residue (dry sample, calculated as Al) does not meet the food safety country Standard requirements
.

 

　　As an important component of food additive potassium aluminum sulfate, aluminum is often added to food as a leavening agent or stabilizer
.
Aluminum has a certain degree of chronic toxicity.
Long-term intake of foods that exceed aluminum standards can cause aluminum accumulation in the body.
The lighter ones will reduce appetite and cause anemia.
The more severe ones will show neurotoxicity, causing movement disorders and memory decline
.
"National food safety standards of food additives using standard " (GB 2760-2014) stipulates that the amount of aluminum remaining in the bean should ≤ 100mg / kg
.
The excessive amount of aluminum residue in the sample may be caused by the excessive addition of food additives such as aluminum potassium sulfate
.

 

　　Natamycin is a natural antifungal compound produced by the fermentation of Streptomyces.
It belongs to the polyene macrolides.
It can not only inhibit the growth of various molds and yeasts, but also inhibit the production of mycotoxins.
It can be widely used in food preservation insurance and anti-fungal treatment
.
The "National Food Safety Standard Food Additives Use Standard" (GB 2760-2014) stipulates that natamycin should not be used in bread
.
Natamycin is difficult to be absorbed by the intestines and stomachs of animals or humans.
Most of the ingested natamycin will be excreted with feces because it is insoluble in water and oil
.
The reason for the detection of natamycin in bread may be that the company used it beyond the scope in order to extend the shelf life
.

 

　　Veterinary drug residues detected in 3 batches of food

 

　　Veterinary drug residues were detected in 3 batches of food, namely Huangshagu (yellow bone fish) and perch (freshwater fish) sold by Yuekelong New Retail Trading Co.
, Ltd.
in Qidong County.
The malachite green residues did not meet the food safety requirements.
Standard requirements: The residues of enrofloxacin in the loach (agricultural products) sold by the Jiamao Huacheng Food Commercial Bank in Wangxian Town, Liling City do not meet the national food safety standards
.

 

　　Malachite green is a toxic triphenylmethane chemical.
It is not only a dye but also a fungicide, bactericidal, and parasitic drug
.
The "List of Drugs and Other Compounds Prohibited in Food Animals" (Announcement No.
250 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China) stipulates that malachite green is a prohibited drug and cannot be detected in animal food
.
Malachite green has potential carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects
.
Long-term consumption of foods with malachite green detected will have a certain impact on human health
.

 

　　Enrofloxacin is a third-generation quinolone drug.
It is a class of synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs used to treat animal skin infections and respiratory tract infections.
It is an animal exclusive drug
.
Long-term consumption of food that exceeds enrofloxacin may lead to accumulation in the human body, thereby causing harm to human functions, and may also cause the human body to produce drug-resistant strains
.
According to the National Food Safety Standard Maximum Residue Limit of Veterinary Drugs in Food (GB 31650-2019), the maximum residue limit of enrofloxacin in fish skin and meat is 100μg/kg
.
The reason why enrofloxacin exceeded the standard may be that in order to quickly control the disease during the breeding process, the farmers increased the dosage of the drug in violation of the regulations or did not comply with the drug withdrawal period regulations, which caused the drug residue to exceed the standard when the product was on the market
.

 

　　In addition to the above-mentioned unqualified products, there is also a batch of black sesame (agricultural products) produced by Zeng Wei dry goods sold at Tianhong Supermarket in Shanmen, Dongkou County .
The acid value (calculated as fat) tested does not meet the national food safety standards
.

 

　　For unqualified foods found in random inspections, the Hunan Provincial Market Supervision Bureau has instructed the market supervision bureaus of Changsha, Hengyang, Zhuzhou, Shaoyang, Zhangjiajie and other places to organize verification and disposal, and urge food producers and operators to take off-shelf, seal up, and recall substandard products Measures such as controlling risks, and strictly dealing with violations of laws and regulations in accordance with the law; timely disclosure of the risk prevention and control measures taken by relevant food producers and operators and the verification and disposal status to the public
