"disposable tableware" sampling pass rate is only 64.5% Walmart and other "black list"
China Economic Net Beijing August 13 (reporter Zhou Liang) With the "Food safety Law" and other relevant food safety regulations and policies implementation, food packaging industry product quality has been greatly improved. However, whether there are uncertified disposable tableware products on the market are still in production and sales, and whether the certified products are really safe and assured, no quality problems?
A few days ago, the International Food Packaging Association on China's disposable plastic tableware, disposable paper tableware and food contact related products such as convenient noodle bowls, fresh trays, milk tea cups, tofu boxes and other investigations and tests were released. At the same time, it put forward scientific countermeasures and suggestions on how to solve the problems of abuse of raw and auxiliary materials and additives as well as indiscriminate labeling of product information.
It is understood that in June 2012, the International Food Packaging Association and Beijing Kaifa environmental protection Technology consulting center formed an investigation team to Beijing, Guangdong area wholesale markets, sellers, supermarkets sales and use of disposable fast food boxes, plastic bowls, fresh trays, tofu boxes, plastic cups and other investigations, and randomly purchased 31 kinds of products, Sent to the qualified testing institutions for testing. Results There were 20 qualified and 11 unqualified, with a pass rate of 64.5%. Among them, 15 kinds of products were sent for inspection by supermarkets, while only 8 kinds were qualified and 7 kinds were unqualified.
Among them, Carrefour supermarket Shenzhen Hongbao store by Shenzhen Huabo United Industry Development Co., LTD. (production license number: Yue XK16-204-00600) produced the model of HBT-11 white tray, acetic acid evaporation residue detection value of 420mg/L, more than 30mg/L national standard requirements 13 times; The plastic mixing box used in the Nanjiecun brand noodles sold by Walmart store in Zhichun Road in Beijing failed to pass the test, and the acetic acid evaporative residue test value was 48.5mg/L, exceeding the national standard requirement of 30mg/L. The production license number marked on the packaging box is: QS32-10301-00067. Through the information query of the certified enterprise on the website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, it is learned that the packaging manufacturer is Changzhou Taihe Packaging Co., LTD.
The survey found that only 70% of the sellers can understand the requirements of the state to implement market access for disposable plastic tableware, resist the illegal behavior of selling products without production licenses, and the products for sale can be obtained production licenses, product testing reports, business licenses and so on.
It is reported that at present, China has clear requirements for the selection of raw and auxiliary materials such as food containers and packaging materials. Most production enterprises use new food-grade raw materials in accordance with national regulations and standards, and the additives such as talc powder are also in line with food-grade requirements. The investigation found that individual enterprises violated the use of industrial grade talc, purchased waste to produce disposable polystyrene tableware, but after testing the data showed qualified. That is to say, the product at the end of the test does not mean that the raw and auxiliary materials used are qualified. Therefore, for the supervision of production enterprises, should be the source of raw materials, enterprise procurement, production and processing, warehousing and other links of monitoring, in order to eliminate this illegal behavior, only the test report can not explain the quality problem, can not explain the safety problem, which is very important for law enforcers, operators and consumers.
Therefore, fundamentally standardize the raw and auxiliary materials used by production enterprises, improve the production environment, improve the awareness of safety production, strengthen the identification and labeling information, and as soon as possible to clarify whether the one-time expanded polystyrene tableware into the market access, in order to fundamentally solve the problem. Only establish the awareness of food packaging safety as food safety, in order to eliminate the occurrence of illegal acts such as adding harmful raw and auxiliary materials.
International food Packaging Association executive vice president and Secretary general, food safety and environmental protection expert Professor Dong Jinshi said in an interview with China Economic Network reporter, "Toxic and harmful chemicals, harm to the human body and the environment is hidden chronic, like cancer" cancer "word, piled up one by one, usually feel nothing, once something is too late."
