    Mooncakes are often high-sugar foods, and for people who need to control sugar intake, they need to pay attention to the ingredient list and nutrient composition list, and reasonably choose sugar-free or low-sugar products
    .
    The national standard for food safety GB 28050-2011 "General Principles for Nutrition Labeling of Prepackaged Foods" stipulates that if the product claims that "sugar-free" refers to the carbohydrate content of the nutrient ingredient list≤0.
    5g/100g, while "low sugar" refers to the carbohydrate content of the nutrient ingredient table ≤5g/100g
    .
    Although it is a sugar-free mooncake, the taste is still sweet, because of the addition of oligosaccharides
    or xylitol.
     
    Consumers should note that "sugar-free" is not "sugar-free.
    "
    .
    "Sucrose-free" means that the ingredients do not contain sucrose, nor do they add white sugar, cotton sugar, etc.
    , but it does not mean that other sugars are not added, such as glucose, fructose, lactose, maltose, etc
    .
    Therefore, for "sucrose-free" mooncakes, people who control blood sugar should be cautious about buying
    .

    Most mooncakes are high-oil, high-sugar foods, for the elderly, children and gastrointestinal discomfort, need to be scientifically consumed
    according to their own physical condition.
    In addition, mooncakes containing ghee and hydrogenated vegetable oils in the ingredient list should be eaten
    as little as possible.
    This is because most of the shortening and hydrogenated vegetable oils on the market contain synthetic trans fatty acids, which can make food fragrant and smooth, but excessive consumption will increase the incidence
    of obesity, diabetes and other diseases.
     
    Mooncakes are prone to deterioration due to their high oil and fat, so they should be stored according to the label and eaten
    within the shelf life.
    Before eating, observe whether the appearance is normal, whether there is any peculiar smell or mildew

    The State Administration for Market Regulation issued the "Restriction of Excessive Packaging Requirements for Commodities Food and Cosmetics" National Standard No.
    1 Amendment Order was implemented
    on August 15.
    The revised list mainly makes stricter regulations on the packaging of mooncakes and rice dumplings, and puts forward specific "slimming" requirements to standardize and guide the high-quality development of the industry, and guide festival foods such as mooncakes and rice dumplings to return to their food attributes
    .
     
    The modification of the mooncake can be summarized into four aspects: First, reduce the number of packaging layers
    .
    Change the number of packaging layers of mooncakes from "no more than four layers" to "no more than three layers"; The second is to reduce packaging costs
    .
    For mooncakes with a sales price of more than 100 yuan, the packaging cost of 20% of the sales price is reduced to 15%, and it is required that precious metals and mahogany materials should not be used; The third is strict mixed packaging requirements
    .
    Stipulate that mooncakes should not be mixed with other products; The fourth is to compress the packaging void
    .
    The necessary space coefficient of the mooncake was reduced from 12 to 7, which is equivalent to a 42%
    reduction in the volume of the package.
     
    Consumers should rationally choose to buy mooncakes, buy in moderation according to personal needs, advocate green life, oppose extravagance and waste, do not be confused by luxurious packaging and tall names, and say "no" to overpackaged food
