Drinking water to meet the new national standard food additives to be noted?

recently, reporters visited major supermarkets and shops found that many brands of drinking water packaging has been "remodeled", such as "Kang Shifu mineral water" has become "Kang Shifu Yuyue packaging drinking water." However, a large proportion of drinking water labeled "mineral water" and "natural water" is still on sale. Such as "Watson drinking natural water", "Watson distilled water", such as non-compliant drinking water is still on sale.."The counters are now on sale before January 1, 2016 and are still in stock. And the water is still in shelf life, so it's still on sale. A supermarket worker told reporters. But according to the new national standard, if the drinking water produced after January 1 this year also has a variety of names, it is a violation, if consumers can buy such water can complain to the relevant departments..However, drinking water due to different names, drinking water prices are also very different, prices range from less than one yuan to a dozen yuan. Such as 550 ml of "Kang Shifu Yuyue packaging drinking water" sold 1.5 yuan, 510 ml of "Kunlun Mountain Snow Mountain Mineral Water" to 4.8 yuan, Farmer Mountain Springs a label suitable for infants and young children to drink natural water, a bottle of 1 liter to 9 yuan..In addition, careful consumers will find that another notable change in drinking water packaging is the addition of a row of small words: "food additives are used to regulate taste.".According to the new national standard, when the use of magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, calcium chloride, potassium chloride and other food additives used to regulate taste, the product name in the vicinity of the label "add food additives for the adjustment of taste" and other similar words. For those who use only processing aids (e.g. nitrogen), according to the "
Food Safety
National Standard: General Rules for Prepackaged Food Labeling (GB7718-2011), processing aids may not be labeled, nor should they be labeled with the words "add
four food additives
for adjusting taste" and so on..However, some enterprises do not clearly indicate
food additives
the type and content. For example, Nestle ice dew pure yue drinking water, in the ingredients table has food additives potassium chloride, magnesium sulfate and zinc sulfate, but on the front of the packaging can not find anything related to food additives. Master Kang Yuyue drinking water is marked with "for the taste of refreshing and sweet, specially added mineral food additives" similar words, but the size is very small, the position is also at the bottom of the front of the label..Faced with a wide variety of drinking water names, many citizens said that when they buy water, they will look at the brand at most, almost will not pay attention to the name of the water, not to look at the bottle on the various labels, the difference between these different types of drinking water is even more unknown. But industry insiders believe that with the implementation of the new national standard, drinking water market may face a major reshuffle.."With the implementation of the new national standard, the drinking water market may face a big reshuffle." Mr. Wang, who has been engaged in the procurement business of the fast-food industry for more than ten years, said that the biggest impact of the new national standard should be the main low-cost mineral water enterprises..Mr. Wang said that compared with other bottled water of the same specifications, mineral water because of the price advantage, so the market has been larger, at present, China's mineral water accounted for about a quarter of the entire drinking water market, after the implementation of the new regulations, mineral water for a long time as the selling point of Master Kang and Coca-Cola are most likely to be affected..In addition, mineral water enterprises are likely to benefit from it, such as Evergrande Ice Springs, China Resources Yibao, Kunlun Mountain, Tibet Glacier 5100 and so on, these mineral water enterprises are high-altitude pollution-free water source as the main advantage, and many times spent a lot of money to buy water source.
