A few days ago, a city in Jiangsu Province market regulatory authorities on some of the city's milk tea shops to carry out food safety and nutritional ingredients spot checks, spot checks results are impressive. Some milk tea labeled as "sugar-free", the result of 100 grams of beverage sugar up to 7.8 grams, the national sugar-free standard of 15.6 times, all batches of sample total sugar inspection results of 3.23g/100g to 11.3g/100g, The equivalent of drinking a cup of milk tea is equivalent to eating 3 to 11 cubes of sugar; all batches of milk tea checked for caffeine, the highest caffeine content of a cup is actually twice as much as American coffee; and on average, the largest cup can provide 23g of fat, drink a cup of all-day fat intake has exceeded the standard.
In recent years, a variety of milk tea shops in large and medium-sized cities in the business district springing up, some well-known online black tea shops also emerged, queue for dozens of minutes only for a cup of milk tea is a large number of people.
However, with bottled beverages published on the ingredients list in the bag, coffee chains have formed a variety of ingredients list, and consumers can choose caffeine and sugar content is different, milk tea shop not only a variety of beverages, and the relevant ingredients are not open to the public, there is no standard to follow.
, similar high-sugar, high-caffeined milk teas exist in many parts of the country. Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission has carried out sample analysis of milk tea in the city's milk tea shop, the sample range almost covered the city's net black milk tea at that time, the result of normal sweet milk tea, the average sugar content per cup is 34g.
34g of sugar is there? According to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents, the daily sugar intake per person should not exceed 50g, preferably under 25g. However, some of the samples obtained by the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission have exceeded 50g directly, with the largest cup at 62g.
from a medical point of view, sugar intake promotes the production of chemicals in the body that promote mood, such as happiness. That's why milk tea shops add more sugar to their taste, rather than more real fruit and milk. Caffeine and fat are the same, and many milk tea drinks are now equipped with mesh red milk caps with a lot of fat. Of course, the adverse effects of consuming too much sugar, caffeine, and fat on the body are well known.
would say that some consumers just like high-sugar, high-caffeine, high-fat drinks, which is the right choice of consumers, that's true. However, consumers also have the right to choose low-sugar low-fat or even sugar-free beverages, and such consumer groups are expanding. When merchants in order to obtain more sales, milk tea into high-sugar high-cause high-fat, but to "low-sugar low-fat" or even "sugar-free" as a gimmick to sell, then there is false propaganda.
You need to know that there are clear criteria for "sugar-free", which is clearly stated in the General Regulations on Nutrition Labeling of Prepackaged Foods of the National Standard for Food Safety, which state that "carbohydrates (sugars) have no or no sugars ( 0.5 g / 100 g (solids) or 100 mL (liquids)". For consumers, milk tea is often mixed with a variety of ingredients, it is difficult to distinguish the sugar content by taste. What's more, for a particular group, false ingredients can pose a risk. For example, when pregnant women and cardiovascular patients drink "low-cause" high-caffeined milk tea.
is why the relevant market regulators should indeed be in charge of milk tea shops that exceed sugar levels but label their drinks "sugar-free". At the same time, with the improvement of living conditions, China's residents' sugar intake is increasing, the former National Health and Planning Commission in the fourth edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents, for the first time included in the control of sugar intake related content, "to prevent obesity, dental caries and other health problems." So, can the relevant parties urge the emerging milk tea shops, will also be their own ingredients list published to consumers?
