Heinz ordinary biscuits "transformed" infant supplement
some ordinary biscuits, pastries often "hidden" in infant supplement sales have become a common phenomenon in the industry, and even some well-known brands also exist this problem.
On April 16, a reporter from the Beijing News noted that Heinz/Heinz Fun Biscuits 4 boxes (80 grams per box) sold at Heinz Tmall's flagship store were advertised on the website in the name of "baby snack cookies, exercise grip ability" and were equipped with large pictures of infants and young children.
customer service said, "This product is suitable for 12-36 months of baby consumption, can increase the baby's body needs nutrition." Heinz's childcare hotline, on the other hand, has informed that the product is not an ancation for infants and young children and is only suitable for infants over 3 years of age.
In accordance with the National Standard for Food Safety for Infant Cereals (GB10769-2010), and the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration, the Regulations on the Review of The Production Permits for Infants and Young Children's Auxiliary Foods, infant biscuits belong to infant cereal supplements, and the raw materials and nutritional ingredients of the products must comply with this national standard.
New Beijing News reporter noted that Heinz this fun biscuit implementation is only ordinary biscuit food safety national standard GB / T20980, its production number SC108310111200524, the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration's official website inquiries, its variety details for "pastries (baked pastries)", not specialized infant and young children's complementary food products.

At the same time, The official flagship store customer service stressed that the product is produced according to the infant supplement standard, after 6 months of age, the baby can eat.
but the Beijing News reporter inquiry found that the product only implements the national standard GB/T20980 ordinary biscuits, and the production enterprise QS license details are only "cookies", "pastries".

illegal use of "sodium sulphate" and other additives
it is understood that the current domestic food for infants and young children there is no unified standard. However, in GB10769-2010, the national standard for cereal supplements, energy, protein, fat, vitamins and other ingredients and food additives have mandatory requirements, and in particular, the use of food additives for such complementary foods to comply with the National Standard for Food Safety Food Additives Use Standards (GB2760-2014).
Beijing News reporter noted that Heinz flagship store sells "Heinz / Heinz Fun Biscuits", ingredients containing sodium sulphate and other food additives.
it is understood that sodium sulphate as a preservative, antioxidants, but according to the above-mentioned national standards, can be added to the "sodium sulphate" food does not contain infant food.
to this, Kraft Heinz on April 17 in response to the Beijing News reporter admitted that Heinz Fun Biscuits is the implementation of the national standard GB / T20980, is for all ages of ordinary snack products, not for infants and young children's complementary biscuits. According to the GB 2760 National Standard Food Additives For Food Safety, the maximum use of sodium sulphate in biscuits is "0.1g/kg" and the sodium sulphate of Heinz Fun Biscuits meets the national standard.
said it had never used any words such as infant food in the official marketing of the product. The promotion of Heinz Tmall's flagship store, which it says is operated by a third-party agency, "is also in active communication and rectification." But
heinz's flagship Tmall store, which uses a large number of baby photos, and comment messages are mostly purchased by parents for their babies.
is this Heinz product a supplement for infants and young children?
case that can be referenced is that this year another infant supplement manufacturer Fang Guang Food lost a lawsuit over publicity and production standards.
According to China's refereeing documents network, consumer Liu, in the name of Fang guang food in infant biscuits illegally added "sodium sulphate", manufacturers and sellers will sue the court and demand 10 times compensation.
Fangguang Food argued that the products involved were not labeled as infant grain supplements on the packaging and therefore were produced in accordance with the corresponding national standards for ordinary biscuits.
, February 24, 2017, the Intermediate People's Court of Maanshan City, Anhui Province, finalized that Shanghai Fangguang Food Co., Ltd. produces "dysmatrophic buns" (execution standard GB/T20977), "animal nutrition biscuits", "finger nutrition biscuits" (execution standard GB/T2) 0980) and other products, its boxes, boxes are printed with infant cartoon image, and marked with "developed specifically for Chinese babies" factory labels, should be identified as specifically for infants and young children to eat food, its product standards should be implemented GB10769-2010.
, Fang guang food in the above-mentioned products in violation of the addition of "ethyl maltophenol", "sodium sulphate" and other additives. Therefore, the court decided that the seller should refund the purchase price and pay 44,915 yuan ten times by Fang Guang Food to bear the costs of the lawsuit.
addition, some complementary food products, the unit sugar content, sodium content is high, there are some hidden dangers to the health of infants and young children. English brand "baby meat pine supplement children's nutritious pork", ingredients have white sugar, soy sauce, edible salt, calcium carbonate, L-lactate calcium, etc. , 100 grams of 20 small packages, 900 mg per 100 grams of sodium content. British brand "calcium iron zinc toddler grinding tooth biscuits 75g", per 100 grams of sodium content of 372 mg.
Fan Zhihong, an associate professor at the School of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at The Agricultural University of China, said that extra sugars, flavors, etc. should not be added to children's food during the age of 2 years, otherwise it is easy to cultivate a preference for sweet taste, which in turn affects the intake of other foods. In addition, infants and young children between 6 months of age and 1 year of age consume only 350 mg of sodium per day, while natural sodium in vegetables and meat is fully available without the need for additional salt.
. Rectification
the market is facing a reshuffle
long-term concern about infant and child food market food safety expert Wang Pengfei told the Beijing News, the current market most children and infant food, most of the implementation of ordinary food production standards, "the so-called children's food for children, in fact, is to change the formula of ordinary food slightly, the price rose by at least 50%, but raw materials, nutrients are not much different, from the ingredients table can see the problem." He cites, for example, the fact that most foods known as "baby biscuits" actually carry out the GB/T20980 common cookie national standard, which adds sweeteners and preservatives. However, in accordance with GB2760, GB10769 and other infant food regulations, sodium sulphate and many other cookies added preservatives, is not allowed to add infant food.
this situation, a lot of enterprises around the infant side food, and instead in the name of "baby biscuits", "children's biscuits" and so on played a side ball.
the Notice, the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration made it clear that from June 30, 2018, enterprises that have not obtained a production license for infant and child supplementary food categories shall not produce such food. At the same time, the local food and drug supervision will be infant auxiliary food production enterprises to check, in particular, the label "infant consumption", "6 months or more infant food consumption" and other food inventory, does not meet the national food safety standards or label labels there is false publicity, misleading consumption of infant auxiliary food, will be investigated and recalled the problem products.
