Plasticizers in oil, sauce and vinegar are normal, and the content is 400 times that of wine.
Our news (reporter Chen Xi Han) "The content of plasticizer in soy sauce, vinegar and beverage is 400 times that of wine." Yesterday, such an alarmist news, with the help of a micro-blog claiming to be an executive director of a food company in Beijing, was quickly and widely spread, following the recent problem of liquor, triggering a new round of plasticizer "panic".
However, at present, there is no authoritative testing agency to issue the corresponding test report to support this statement, the reason why this news can cause such a great concern, because the recent "alcoholic wine", "Moutai" and other brands of liquor products have been exposed to plasticizer exceeded the relevant limits, Caused consumers to other food plasticizer, plasticizer is beyond the limit of doubts.
For food or food additives, plasticizer is absolutely prohibited to add, but with the general application of plastic packaging process in food products, plasticizer has inevitably migrated into the food in plastic packaging. "Without plasticizers, there would be no plastics industry." Li Shuguang, a professor at the School of Public Health of Fudan University, admitted that plastic bottles of soy sauce, vinegar, beverages commonly contain plasticizers. In March last year, he participated in the study of 49 kinds of plasticizers in beverage bottles, and found that they contained plasticizers, but they did not exceed the limit value of relevant national regulations. The plasticizer content that migrates into food through plastic bottles is relatively safe, as long as it is not a long-term large intake, it will not affect health. Li Shuguang stressed that under the same environmental conditions, some bottles have a stronger ability to dissolve oil and can indeed migrate more plasticizers, but the equivalent of 400 times the amount of wine is too alarmist.
Will plasticizer affect the human body in the end? Guokr net user "DNA" cited the "National Pollutant Environmental Health Risk List" in the data pointed out that one of the plasticizer substances, phthalate (α -ethylhexyl ester (DEHP) intake to reach 30 g/kg of body weight, in order to let half of the rats to die, its toxicity relative to melamine, cyanide is much smaller, respectively, about one-tenth of the latter two, four thousandths.
Data from the municipal Quality supervision Bureau show that the city has carried out special supervision and spot checks on wine, fruit wine and liquor products in the production field of Shanghai this year, and 1 batch of 9 batches of products is unqualified, and the unqualified project involves the total number of colonies, rather than plasticizers. On the 12th of this month, the Ministry of Health held a relevant conference, the person in charge of the Ministry of Health has said that it will start food plasticizer monitoring and related risk assessment, to understand the current Chinese food plasticizer migration and pollution problems, and whether there is artificial addition of the situation, for the development of plasticizer migration into food standards to accumulate experience.
