Fresh drinks become illegal additives. Excessive consumption in the disaster area can cause cancer

Business news on April 28 Recently, at the time of the nationwide crackdown on illegal addition and abuse of food additives, Sichuan Province will organize all functional departments to carry out a major inspection and investigation on the industrial enterprises in the whole food production and distribution line of "raw materials, products, market and catering", and require the food and Drug Administration to focus on strengthening the provision of hot pot and self-made drinks supervision on the use of food additives by catering units providing self-made condiments and other services In recent years, the so-called "self-made fresh beverage" in restaurants is the "disaster area" of additives In general, the restaurants do not have the qualification of fresh pressed beverage, have no production license, are not standardized and cannot guarantee the quality, and have great potential for safety Even some restaurants and hotpot shops provide self-made soybean milk, peanut milk and so-called "fresh pressed beverage", which is just "additive mixture", which can be called "food cancer" Phenomenon 1: in recent years, various kinds of "fresh pressed" drinks made with additives have been exposed in various media According to the comprehensive report, the so-called freshly squeezed drinks in most catering places, such as soybean milk, all kinds of fruit juice, peanut milk and walnut milk, are basically made of a small amount of fruits, peanuts and walnuts, mixed with a variety of food additives They are not only free of any nutrition, but also harmful to health when they are often or for a long time According to a media report in Chengdu, all kinds of food additives for making juice, peanut pulp and walnut pulp can be bought everywhere in major food wholesale markets such as Chengdu Fuhe and Southwest Food City A closer look at the ingredients is surprising The reporter saw the additives on the packaging of the orange juice additive: sugar, essence, edible gum, allure red, lemon yellow, sour agent, sodium citrate, two diluted potassium acid, etc but there was no single word "orange" On the other side of the package, the ingredients are glucose, maltodextrin, white sugar, xanthan gum, guar gum, anti caking agent, colorant, etc but there is no peanut! According to the owner who sells additives, the taste of these additives is absolutely true If the restaurant sprinkles some real pulp symbolically in it, it will be more like it According to the owner, some big restaurants, big hot pot shops and water bars are also the goods he takes Phenomenon 2: the "fresh beverage" made by the black workshop flows into the medium and high-end restaurants It is understood that in addition to blending with additives, some "self-made drinks" of medium and high-end restaurants have been very deceptive since they were born In fact, most of the "fresh pressed drinks" bought by consumers at a high price are actually products of small workshops that are not sanitary and legal outside They will be soybean milk, peanut milk, walnut milk and so on to the restaurant, by the waiter in the name of the restaurant to sell high prices to guests The reporter found in a secret visit that these small workshops often hide in some suburban joint zones, and their processing sites are poor, with sewage flowing across, flies flying around, and some even beside stinking pig pens And those low-cost workers are very random to operate, and they are unscrupulous in the use of additives As a result, many "self-made drinks" have problems such as the coliform group exceeds the standard, the total number of molds and bacteria exceeds the standard, and consumer poisoning incidents are common In order to increase the concealment and deception, many medium and high-end restaurants also outsource the self-made beverage business to some private owners, and the restaurants provide places for their sales, but their nature is still a small workshop mode, and the profits are divided into three or four or six parts In fact, those "Juicers" and "juice girls" who shuttle in the tavern are not the staff of the tavern at all They are just one part of the chain of profiteering Hidden danger: excessive consumption of food additives can cause cancer Not only can illegal additives such as Sudan red, methanol and formaldehyde be added to food and drink, but also many normal food additives can cause cancer! Ye Jiannong, a famous Analytical Chemistry Expert in China, believes that it is a common phenomenon to use food additives illegally Generally, adults eat more than 80 kinds of additives every day, but the toxicological effects of most additives are not clear at present For example, cyanuric acid, no one has ever done toxicology experiments before, but adding it to food can increase the protein content, so someone took the plunge to add it Even food additives that have been included in the national standards, if overused, will cause irreversible harm to people If excessive use, it may even cause cancer and other serious consequences In the investigated restaurants and hotpot shops, the media reporters witnessed the small workers mixing a large number of various additives with water, and then sprinkled some pulp symbolically A bunch of fruit flavored "fresh and thick" homemade drinks were made This kind of fresh beverage is made of additives The amount of additives is amazing It can be imagined that the harm of mixing fresh beverage with additives for self-made drinks is caused by the high profit However, the main reason is the high profit It is understood that a package (barrel) of additives weighing about 5 jin costs more than 10 yuan, but it can produce a variety of "fresh squeezed" drinks of 50 Jin to 60 Jin A reporter from a middle-class restaurant in Chengdu saw such a price list of freshly squeezed drinks: soybean milk 28 yuan / Zha, peanut milk 48 yuan / Zha, walnut milk 58 yuan / Zha, Sydney juice 78 yuan / Zha, papaya juice 98 yuan / Zha We can imagine the profits For each sale of such "fresh pressed" drinks, the relevant waiters will get a high royalty of 5-10 yuan Therefore, despite the frequent exposure of the media and the repeated prohibitions of the relevant law enforcement departments, some middle and high-end catering operators are still trying their best to recommend their various "fresh" drinks to consumers for high profits Illegal policies and self-made drinks will be subject to judicial sanctions Beverage, as one of the 28 categories of food, has been included in the food production market access system for a long time The self-made beverage provided by the catering place is different from the home-made beverage It belongs to the product in the market behavior It must accept the supervision and management of the relevant departments of the state and obtain QS certification, otherwise it is illegal operation In view of the huge potential safety hazards of self-made drinks, on April 21, after the national video conference on cracking down on the special work of illegal addition and abuse of food additives, Sichuan Province immediately made arrangements and arrangements for cracking down on the special work of illegal addition and abuse of food additives The meeting requested that the food and drug administration should focus on strengthening the supervision of the use of food additives by catering units providing hot pot, self-made drinks, self-made seasonings and other services The meeting stressed that if serious hidden dangers are found in the joint law enforcement inspection and investigation, they shall be immediately stopped for rectification; if they fail to meet the rectification requirements, they must be closed down; if there are serious violations of laws and regulations, they shall be transferred to the judicial supervision organ for handling, and they shall not be tolerated.
