, and has health risks
for people with weak resistance.
The National Food Safety Standard for Packaged Drinking Water (GB 19298-2014) stipulates that the standard values of Pseudomonas aeruginosa are n=5, c=0, m=0, and CFU/250mL
.
The reason for excessive Pseudomonas aeruginosa in bottled drinking water may be improper protection of water source water and contamination of water bodies; Some enterprises are not in place to supervise environmental hygiene, the operation is not standardized enough, and the production process is cross-polluted; In the circulation link, the storage time is long, and the bucket is recycled many times to increase the risk of
secondary pollution.

 

The total number of colonies is an indicator of microorganisms, not pathogenic bacteria, and is mainly used to evaluate the cleanliness of
food.
The standard values of the total number of colonies specified in the National Food Safety Standard for Beverages (GB 7101-2015) are n=5, c=2, m=103, M=5×10^{4 CFU}/g
.
The reason for exceeding the standard may be that the initial number of raw materials used by individual enterprises is high, and the hygienic conditions of the production and processing process are not strictly controlled according to the requirements, or the cleaning and disinfection of packaging materials are not in place, and it may also be related to
the poor sealing of product packaging, improper control of storage, transportation and operating conditions.

4 batches of food were detected with quality index problems

 

Quality index problems were detected in 4 batches of food, of which 1 batch of peroxide value (in terms of fat) did not meet the national food safety standards for the nominal Baoji Wangyunlai sunflower seeds produced by Baoji Wangyunlai Food Co.
, Ltd.
sold at Parkway Shopping Plaza in Baoji High-tech Development Zone; It is claimed that the peroxide value (in terms of fat) of Lao Wang Xiang + graphic brand original sunflower seeds produced by Yinta Fried Goods Factory in Xingping City, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, does not meet the provisions of the national food safety standards; 1 batch of volatile salt-based nitrogen of 400/700 striped fish sold by Weinan Zhongchuang Jiashun Trading Co.

The National Food Safety Standard for Nuts and Seeds (GB 19300-2014) stipulates that the maximum peroxide value of cooked melon seeds is 0.
80g/100g

The reason for the excessive peroxide value may be improper storage of raw materials, failure to take effective antioxidant measures, or improper control of environmental conditions during storage of the final product, resulting in rancidity
of grease.

.
Volatile salt-based nitrogen is related to the spoilage of animal foods and is the main indicator of food freshness, and the higher its content, the more amino acids are destroyed, which affects
the nutritional value of food.
Excessive volatile salt-based nitrogen may be caused by
excessive food transportation time, excessive temperature and improper storage.
