Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission evaluates advent food: quality problems are not big, drinking...

Advent foods are highly sought after by young people because they are cheap and have not expired, what is the difference between them and normal fresh products? Can quality and safety be guaranteed? Will there be nutritional deficiencies? On October 12, the Beijing News reporter learned that after testing 9 advent foods, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission found that the acid price and peroxide value of advent foods will change, and the vitamin C content of beverage advent foods will decrease, but the indicators meet the requirements of the national standard, and the quality problem is not big
.

Advent foods are foods that are about to reach the expiration date of the food, but are still within the shelf life
.
On January 27, 2012, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a document clearly requiring food business operators to give consumers a conspicuous reminder
of food that is about to expire.

It is reported that the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission selected 9 foods with relatively fresh shelf life and corresponding advent foods with a shelf life of lemon-flavored tea drinks, orange juice, milk-covered almond shaqima, sandwich biscuits, crayfish-flavored air crisp cakes, peppercorn pot ba, chive chicken juice-flavored crispy noodles, fried sauce-flavored noodles and curry-flavored ramen, as well as corresponding advent foods, and sent them to Shanghai Yuanben Food Quality Inspection Co.
, Ltd.
(Shanghai Nutrition Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Station) for testing
.

The test results showed that the vitamin C content of beverages in advent foods decreased
.
Both beverage advent foods have different degrees of vitamin C loss
.
Among them, the vitamin C content of orange juice (non-concentrated restoration) advent products was 73.
6% lower than that of fresh products; Lemon flavored tea drink advent products have a 36.
4%
lower vitamin C content than fresh products.

In addition, there are also some changes in the acid value and peroxide value of food during the advent period, and the acid price reflects the content of acidic substances (free fatty acids) in the oil; The peroxide value reflects the peroxide content of the oil
.
In the test, it was found that the acid price of instant noodles and biscuits changed less obviously; On the other hand, products with higher fat content such as shaqima and pot ba have greater changes in acid price
.

The Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission said that in this comparison, although the acid price and peroxide value of advent foods have increased somewhat, they still meet the requirements of the national standard, and the quality problem is not big
.
In addition, there are still some differences between the quality of advent food and fresh food, but also within the acceptable range, if you care, you should avoid buying advent food with higher vitamin content, try to buy products with a closer production date, and pay attention to storage
in cool and dark conditions after the food is bought.
