Plant cream pretends to be natural cream, saving half of the cost and getting cancer

The same price for 8-inch cake: 98 yuan for vegetable cream and 158 yuan for natural cream It claims that "American veyberton cream" is plant cream only after it is purchased and checked at home China Consumer Association recently held a related conference, calling on manufacturers and sellers to clearly indicate the type of cream What's the situation of Qingdao cake shop? The reporter did some investigation The reporter visited several cake shops in the island city yesterday and found that vegetable cream is widely used in cakes and desserts There are more than ten kinds of beautiful desserts in the display cabinet of a brand cake shop There is no other sign except the name and price of the desserts on the sign, not to mention the type of cream used When the reporter asked about the cream, the clerk replied, "it's all natural cream." The label of a Swiss Roll in the store says "it's made of American veyberton cream, which tastes moist." But what is the so-called "veebyten cream"? The reporter learned through inquiry that this kind of cream is vegetable cream, that is to say, the margarine containing trans fatty acid is hydrogenated The package of this Swiss Roll contains vegetable fat cream, but the trans fatty acid content is 0 The reporter also visited several other brands of cake shops, whether cake, bread or dessert, the type of cream used was not indicated, only the outer package of individual products was marked with "fat cream" In a shop on Guizhou Road where the cakes are sold by weight, there is no package for the cakes themselves, and there is no way to tell about the type of cream used The clerk couldn't even tell the difference between vegetable cream and natural cream: "of course, vegetable cream is natural, extracted from plants and processed." Natural cream costs twice as much Why do most cakes in cake shops use vegetable cream instead of natural cream? "Vegetable cream is cheap, and it's easy to shape when we make cakes After that, it's OK to keep the shape for a day With natural cream, the cake will lie down for hours." Take the birthday cake sold by the store as an example An 8-inch fresh cream cake costs only 98 yuan if it uses vegetable cream, and 158 yuan if it uses natural cream The reporter inquired on taobao.com and found that the price of a one liter package of "American Weiyi Gold Diamond fat cream" was 19 yuan, while the price of natural cream of the same specification was more than 30 yuan Mr Li, who is engaged in the baking industry, told reporters that most of the cakes made in the cake shop now are mixed with 50% natural cream and 50% fat planting cream One is good taste, the other is easy to shape The cost of such an 8-inch birthday cake is between 120-130 yuan, the cost of natural cream cake is about 160 yuan, and the cost of vegetable cream is about 70-80 yuan Vegetable cream, which may cause diseases, is the cream mentioned in the national standard of China Its ingredients are the oil extracted from fresh milk Natural cream contains about 80% of milk fat, with water and other milk ingredients remaining The vegetable cream, also called hydrogenated cream, is made by partially hydrogenating the vegetable oil, adding artificial flavors, preservatives, pigments and other additives to imitate the taste of natural cream The latter contains trans fatty acids, but trans fatty acids are not accepted in human body, long-term over accumulation will induce tumor, asthma and other diseases Natural cream, however, is a direct nutrient extracted from milk Although this kind of cream is harmful to health, it meets the basic needs of human nutrition Cake shop, please mark clearly that China Consumer Association claims that consumers have the right to know How should enterprises satisfy consumers to know whether their products contain natural cream or vegetable cream? China Consumers Association calls on the producers of the products to provide the real information of the raw materials used, and the baking food processors to clearly mark whether the "cream" used is "margarine" or "natural cream" In the description of ingredients, natural cream is generally marked with "fresh cream" and "cream" Margarine is labeled with "palm oil" or other vegetable oil ingredients or sugar content For the judgment method, it can be distinguished from the color and taste The color of margarine is particularly white, and the color of natural cream is light yellow; the sweetness of margarine is high, and the sweetness of natural cream is very low China Consumer Association also said that it is the responsibility of enterprises to clearly mark the ingredients, and consumers have sufficient right to know We also call on the cake shop in Qingdao to respond to the initiative of China Consumer Association and make clear the label as soon as possible.
