Why are illegal food additives banned repeatedly?

reporters understand that many consumers believe that food illegal addition behavior is often only in small restaurants, small workshops appear. But in the recently released list, "Zhou Black Duck" and other well-known brands and restaurants are also listed. Although big brands such as Zhou Black Duck were quick to respond, saying follow-up surveys showed they had been faked by "sets of cards", but still let consumers be scared.interview, Hu Xiaoying, a resident of Yongkang, Zhejiang Province, said: "There is no way to prevent ah, you do not go out to eat." Because if you go out and eat, like they're cooked on the side of the road, you seem to see it all, but you know what they're doing in Tonri? You don't know. Huang Sheng, acitizen, said: "I think so, even if eat hot pot ah, eat barbecue ah, I will not go to the stall vendors to eat there, I generally go to a bigger place, like the street ah this kind of place I do not dare to eat."And the public said: "To tell you the truth is a little talk about the feeling of tiger color change, in fact, may not know very well, but when it comes to food additives feel not good things, anyway, I feel as if the addition of these things to prevent decay, this I am more taboo, others do not seem to understand." Thislearned that in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, night market barbecue seasoning has also been detected many times with poppy shell ingredients. However, because the night market stalls are mostly mobile operations, regulatory loopholes, blind spots have emerged.Zhengzhou City, 27Th District
seed food safety
office deputy director Li or: "Night market stalls are also good ah, a lot of not for the record, after the problem may be on the dragonfly, you can not find people." Poisoning incident or something, the claim can not find a person. Supervision and management measures also mean to strengthen the record, how to prepare? By which departments to introduce the filing method? There is no good connection, resulting in a very low filing rate. In , a variety of additives have become a great weapon for many restaurant flavorings. Behind many cuisines, there are problems such as the abuse of additives and illegal addition, which are harmful to the health of consumers. Some outlaws even use industrial raw materials that are harmful to humans.Regulation efforts continue to strengthen, online trading and risk In order to the flow of these illegal additives channels, reporters came to the special operation of condiments and additives of Nanjing Mayor Honglu food wholesale market for covert visits, whether It is Chinese food or Western food condiment stores, have not found poppy shells, poppy powder-related goods.interview, merchants said that in previous years there were also vendors operating, but because of public security, food and drug supervision and other departments to check tight, we do not sell, and now it is difficult to buy. Some merchants said: "Small households like us are buying less, people sell not sold to you, can not buy, they go there to buy did not buy." Reportersthat although the wholesale market poppy products are difficult to find, but on the Internet, under the banner of "poppy" additives are not uncommon. Taobao input keyword "poppy shell" can not be displayed, but if the search for "poppy", there will be up to 100 pages of poppy seeds, careful observation found that many shops sell poppy seeds, is actually poppy shell powder, and even some merchants change the name, poppy called "rice shell", search for "rice shell powder", there will be hundreds of pages of various brands of "flavor powder", "bone powder"., Yu Xuerong, deputy secretary-general of Jiangsu Food and Beverage Association, said that because of the strengthening of offline administrative supervision, most of the merchants using poppy shells buy from the Internet.Yu Xuerong said: "Some illegal traders are still taking risks, mainly in this dry pot shop, hot pot shop, noodle restaurant, halogen shop and some food production enterprises, the use of these ingredients, especially the channels of the network, we can buy from the Internet." Zhu Yi an associate professor at the School of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at the Agricultural University of China, points out that businesses are superstitious about the myth that poppy shells can taste, when in fact poppies are not necessarily linked to good taste. Consumers should not be overly nervous about whether they will become completely addicted to food with poppy shell ingredients.Zhu Yi said: "There is a psychological misconception that poppy shell contains addictive ingredients can make their family's business boom, endless." In fact, the amount of opioid alkaloids left in the poppy shell is about 0.5% to 1% less than the order of magnitude, it is not easy to meet the national limit standards for medicinal morphine and cocaine. Therefore, the catering industry, consumers should have a clear understanding, relying on illegally added poppy shell is not able to support the restaurant business boom, poppy shell and good taste, there is no correlation between repeat customers. The average consumer doesn't have to worry about being addicted to hot pots with poppy shells, which are too unlikely.In recent years, China has launched a major crackdown on the
seal food safety
issue, coupled with the introduction of a judicial interpretation to investigate the criminal responsibility for food problems such as additive abuse and illegal addition, and relevant departments at all levels have jointly enforced laws to crack down on food additive disorder. However, by the lack of grass-roots law enforcement force, illegal addition of increasingly hidden, network supervision blind spots and other factors, illegal, illegal and illegal issues are still difficult to prohibit.Some people in the industry suggested that the food and drug supervision, industry and commerce, public security and other departments should increase the food additives production enterprises spot checks, blocking illegal network supply channels, so that the catering industry illegal, illegal addition of the "subliminal rules", into laws and regulations under the constraints of the industry norms.foreign experience: strict laws and food safety monitoring mechanisms According to reporters, for Sweden, which has high food standards, there are few scandals about the misuse of food additives. This is mainly due to Sweden's strict legal provisions on the use of food additives and very strict food safety monitoring mechanisms.under the Swedish Food Act, food additives are not allowed to cause any harm to the health of consumers and can only be used if they are necessary during the
fedal processing
process. Additives for a new type of food, whether they are new additives or those that have been approved for use in other types of food, need to be approved before they can be used.applying for the use of food additives, manufacturers must not only state the reasons for and scope of use, but also provide data on the proportion of additives used that do not pose a risk to human health, including animal test data. These information and data are rigorously verified and tested by the European Food Safety Authority before a decision is made on whether or not to approve them to ensure the safety factor for the use of additives.The Swedish Food Act also stipulates that manufacturers must indicate the ingredients of the food on the outer packaging of the food they process, including additive ingredients, and that additive ingredients cannot be generally labeled only as a certain category of additives and must give specific names. In addition, allergic reactions that additives can cause need to be marked on food packaging to alert consumers., a relatively good monitoring mechanism has been established throughout Sweden. According to the division of labor, the Swedish government food safety monitoring mechanism consists of three levels. The first level is the State Food Administration, whose main responsibility is to monitor the country's larger
fedal processing
enterprises, such as slaughterhouses, milk processing plants, and to coordinate and supervise the work of food safety monitoring departments throughout the country. The second level is the provincial food safety monitoring departments, which are mainly responsible for monitoring the breeding farms and vegetable and fruit farms and other primary product manufacturers. The third level is the Municipal Environment and Health Protection Commission, which monitors local food stores and restaurants.
