Foreign electricity: New Zealand detected excessive lead content in a ship of Chinese corn

Lead: Beijing Derun forest, July 27: the food safety authority of New Zealand (FSA) has detected excessive lead in a Chinese corn ship, according to a report by government agencies quoted by the Dominion Post, a New Zealand newspaper, on Monday The FSA said the ship's Chinese corn contained more than 100 times more lead than the safety standard Since the ship's corn was imported in October last year, local food factories have processed it into baby food, soap and other baked goods Tests at flour mills failed to detect contamination of Chinese corn, but the FSA found excessive lead in infant formula tests in routine food surveys Sally Johnson, a spokesman for the FSA, said the government conducted a routine food survey every five years Asked if it was an accident that corn was contaminated with lead, Ms Johnson said it was Tim Knox, the FSA's official in charge of imports and domestic food, said corn was among the foods tested by the government for possible risks But no one has reported the disease after eating the contaminated corn The FSA is summarizing the results of food monitoring and will soon issue a discussion paper and release the results to the public New Zealand councillor Sue Kelly said that the food safety regulation is lax, so it is necessary to know whether the corn pollution incident is just the tip of the iceberg, whether there will be more contaminated corn entering New Zealand, and why New Zealand has not carried out routine tests such as pesticide pollution She said the incident was serious because the level of lead pollution was more than 100 times higher than the standard Knox said that only if the long-term existence of lead, will cause harm to human health
