    Some illegal traders in Bozhou, Anhui Province smoked Chinese herbal medicines with sulfur price Yesterday, CCTV exposed the surprising news In fact, it is not a new thing to smoke herbs with sulfur price, which has been reported by modern express for many times In May of this year, the reporter once learned from the Nanjing food and drug administration that the sulfur dioxide residue limit standard in medicinal materials will be implemented by the end of June, and there will be laws to deal with "sulfur price medicinal materials" Now that more than half a month has passed, how is the implementation of this standard? When the news played back that the rats on the side of sulfur price fumigation were killed by fumigation, the State Food and Drug Administration recently sent an inspection team to conduct a secret visit to the domestic Chinese medicine market, and found that in Bozhou Chinese medicine market in Anhui Province, the phenomenon of weight gain, dyeing and adulteration of Chinese medicine was very serious In Bozhou traditional Chinese medicine market, the inspection team found that not only the price of cinnabar, red powder, cantharides and the price of myrtle, which are forbidden to sell by the state, but also the illegal production and sale of weight-added herbs are very common, involving seahorse price, sea dragon, scorpion price, Purple River car price, Agkistrodon and other varieties The original price of the Ziheche, which was only 45g, reached more than 100g after the weight increase, while the weight of the Agkistrodon after the weight increase increased several times, but the price was much cheaper than the genuine one The illegally increased varieties and the price of woodlouse worms, though small, are all "goods" In addition to the illegal weight gain, it is also very common to use sulfur price fumigated herbs in the market These yams, Gastrodia elata, Paeonia alba and Fritillaria, which are called "beat sulfur", are not only fair in appearance, but also much cheaper than "sulfur free" herbs And for the sulfur price smoked medicine is harmful, traders are also outspoken In the interview, a peddler said that when he saw the sulfur price fumigant with his own eyes, a mouse nearby was killed by fumigation The peddler also said with a smile, "Chinese people live when they eat gutter oil." According to the investigation of Nanjing traditional Chinese medicine by the Express newspaper, a considerable part of the traditional Chinese medicine in Nanjing hospital and market comes from Bozhou, Anhui Province "Sulfur price fumigant is an old topic In fact, sulfur price itself is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, but now many vendors use industrial sulfur price fumigant to dye and resell some moldy medicine, and do not control the amount, which will cause harm to human body." Shen Jia, deputy chief physician of the second hospital of traditional Chinese medicine in Jiangsu price Province, told reporters, "in addition to the prices of yams and pueraria, there are also the prices of wolfberry, chrysanthemum and other plants we usually use to make tea, because these plants are easy to grow insects." "Many hospitals in Nanjing have traditional Chinese medicine from Bozhou, Anhui Province, but they may be strict in warehousing inspection," Shen said At the end of May this year, the Modern Express reported on the "price of sulphur and Fritillaria" Authorities said that by the end of June, the standard for sulfur dioxide residues in medicinal materials would be implemented (see B7 edition of modern express on May 31 for details) Previously, the spot check of traditional Chinese medicine did not include sulfur dioxide, and there was no law enforcement basis for the behavior of fumigating medicine at the price of sulfur, so we could only dissuade it orally Now it's late July How about the implementation of this standard? Gao Qiang, director of the drug safety supervision department of Nanjing food and drug administration, said that in the near future, they are strengthening the supervision of traditional Chinese medicine "Just a few days ago, a general survey was conducted of all enterprises involved in the production and processing of traditional Chinese medicine in the city In the past, it was not necessary to detect the content of sulfur dioxide, but now it is required that the residual content of sulfur dioxide in medicinal materials and decoction pieces (excluding minerals) should not exceed 150mg / kg, so it must be detected From the results of the census, these enterprises have begun to pay attention to this, and no problems have been found at present " Gao Qiang told reporters that there are four main sources of Chinese herbal medicines in Nanjing market: Anhui, Jiangxi, Chengdu and Hebei, and a small amount of them come from Yunnan and Guizhou Among them, Bozhou is an important source of traditional Chinese medicine, where the market is quite large "In fact, the quality inspection of traditional Chinese medicine is carried out every year In recent years, there have been many accidents of traditional Chinese medicine, so we pay special attention to this area The proportion of traditional Chinese medicine inspection is increasing every year." The market is chaotic The price of "Pearl price powder" and "saffron price" are made of paper In addition to the price of sulfur, the problem of adulteration and sales in the market of traditional Chinese medicine is very prominent CCTV found through a secret visit that many expensive products are extremely cheap in the wholesale market of traditional Chinese medicine, and only a bag of Pearl price powder costs yuan Through identification, these so-called "Pearl price powder" are all made of lime and shell powder Comparing the price of saffron bought in the market with the price of authentic saffron, after entering the water, the price of saffron bought in the market began to decolorize, and there was no tissue such as pollen price grain under the microscope, but paper fiber In other words, these "saffron prices" are actually made of paper! Hu Haobin, chief pharmacist of Jiangsu price province food and Drug Inspection Institute, said that this situation has been found many times, "tear the paper into strips, and then rub it into strips with red pigment oil grease, which is very similar to the authentic products." It is understood that the State Food and drug administration has just held a "two dozen and two construction" meeting, which will severely crack down on these chaotic phenomena in the traditional Chinese medicine market.
