The color additive "jialisuhuang" was found in feed, but its application scope was not clear in China

In fact, there is no basis for the saying of wild turtle oil yellow Experts call on consumers not to blindly pursue wild turtles Gao Lisa, a reporter from our newspaper, reported in the morning that some illegal farmers give turtles a pigment After ordinary turtles are transformed into buttered turtles, they are sold at a high price as wild turtles Does this kind of turtle do harm to your health after eating? What is this kind of yellow powder called jialisuhuang? How should consumers buy turtle? On May 13, the morning post exclusively revealed the dark background of the buttered turtle industry, and readers called to inquire Yesterday, reporters consulted experts with these questions Jialisuhuang is a kind of feed colorant When investigating buttered turtle, the reporter found that the "yellow powder" sold by businesses to farmers is jialisuhuang "Gallin yellow is a kind of feed additive, which plays a role in coloring." Liu Dingkang, deputy investigator of the Fisheries Department of the Zhejiang Ocean and Fisheries Bureau, said jialihuang is an ester soluble carotene There are two kinds: artificial synthesis and natural extraction In the world, the use of gallin yellow is allowed in most countries "At present, it is mainly used for raising poultry animals, and no relevant regulations have been seen for aquatic animals." The reporter checked the Announcement No 1178 issued by the Ministry of agriculture The above shows that Garlicine yellow produced by a French company is allowed to be used as a colorant in the range of poultry, which is valid until March 2014 Liu Dingkang said that announcement 1178 of the Ministry of agriculture only stipulated the scope of import and use of the products of the enterprise However, it is not clear that garlicin yellow can be used in other areas "At present, the relevant scientific research departments in our province are conducting safety assessment tests on the harm of garrisol yellow to aquatic organisms At present, no negative reaction has been found." Liu said There is no basis for wild turtle oil yellow, "butter turtle oil yellow, cultured turtle oil white, this statement is without basis." Liu Dingkang said that oil yellow is not unique to wild turtle Turtle in the process of feeding, eat carrots, pumpkins and foods containing vitamin B, its fat is also yellow Therefore, he thinks that it is untenable to judge whether the turtle is wild by the standard of oil yellow According to the environmental protection color of animals, the back armor of turtle in Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be green According to Liu Dingkang, the Yellow turtle is usually the Chinese turtle of the Yellow River strain "The Yellow turtle adapts to the Loess environment, with yellow green back and yellow abdomen Northerners like this yellow turtle " It is understood that in order to cater to the preference of yellow turtle in the north, some traders sell buttered turtle to the north and pretend to be the local yellow turtle Zhang Jianren, vice president of Hangzhou turtle breeding Association, is also a large turtle farmer He said that some of the same industry's pigment breeding turtle behavior is not allowed in the industry However, aquatic feed mainly relies on the animal husbandry management department, so it is difficult to avoid the dead angle of supervision It is understood that Zhejiang is the province with the largest number of turtle breeding in China, with a production of 200 million turtles a year Zhang Jianren said that as the leader of the association, he will lead the healthy breeding of farmers by example and advocate the honest operation of farmers through the internal participation meeting of the association There is a misunderstanding in the consumption view of diners that "wild turtle is not necessarily good." During the interview, Liu Dingkang told reporters that some consumers have misunderstandings in purchasing turtle Europeans have classified wildlife as a safe and insecure product "Pesticides in farmland, industrial polluted water sources and urban sewage are likely to damage the ecology of wild turtle It is better for everyone to eat the turtle raised according to the technical specifications of turtle breeding." Jiang Tianming, a turtle farmer in the coastal industrial zone of Shaoxing County, thinks that the reason for the illegal farmers' behavior of breeding turtle with pigment is the consumers' mentality of blindly pursuing wild turtle Now we advocate the cultivation of turtle under the environment of "ecological control", which can guarantee the quality and safety of turtle "Consumers treat wild turtle rationally Once the market of buttered turtle shrinks, the behavior of adding pigment will disappear naturally." Liu Dingkang introduces, when consumer chooses turtle, basically still look at toenail and back armour The toenails are long and sharp, and the back nails are bright.
