On the afternoon of August 16, Ms song of Zhangdian bought a bottle of tea drink from the supermarket When she returned home, she found that the values in the nutrition composition table were all zero Ms song questioned that the merchants were suspected of misleading consumers According to Ms song, yesterday afternoon, she bought a bottle of new tea beverage with Oriental leaves from Nongfu mountain spring in the beverage area of a supermarket "When I took it home, I found that all the nutrients in this tea drink were zero How could it be that there were no ingredients in it?" Ms Song said that she felt very curious, so she carefully looked at the ingredients list of this tea drink and found that there are food additives vitamin C and sodium bicarbonate in the ingredients list Since there is sodium bicarbonate, it must contain sodium However, the sodium in the nutritional ingredients is also "0" She believed that this kind of behavior of the businessmen has the suspicion of misleading consumers This morning, at the supermarket where Ms song was shopping, the reporter saw that the remarkable position of the tea drink bottle was marked with "0 calorie / 100M L" The reporter looked at the table of nutrients of this tea drink carefully, which was marked with six indicators of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugar and sodium In addition to the reference value of nutrients for sugars is "None", the content and reference value of nutrients for each 100ml of other items are "0" Later, the reporter looked at the table of nutrients of other tea drinks Among the nutrients of other tea drinks, the reference value of protein and fat is "0" However, the content of energy, sugar and sodium varies with the variety According to the management standard of food nutrition label, the product nutrition label can be marked with "0kj / 100ml" when every 100ml (or G) energy ≤ 17kj, according to the staff of the food department of Zibo Quality Supervision Bureau According to the same regulations, when sodium ≤ 5m g / 100M L, the nutrition label of the product can be marked with "0 mg sodium / 100M L", so it is OK to mark "0" in the nutrition composition table.
