However, the results show that the ratings of these products are quite poor, and only the evaluation grade of D- is obtained. The main deduction points are carcinogens such as mineral oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, plasticizers and flavor enhancers contained in oil peppers! ! The final score of several products, including Laoganma Chili sauce, is only D (poor). The core reason is that oil pepper contains excessive mineral oil, sodium glutamate, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, plasticizers and flavor enhancers. Laoganma and other detected foods contain a variety of additives, which have a significant impact on human health.
Mineral oil 1
In this evaluation, mineral oil component-mineral oil saturated hydrocarbon (MOSH) was detected in all products.
The assessment report of European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) in 2065438+03 shows that some saturated mineral oil can accumulate in animals, producing tiny granulomas in organs such as liver, spleen and lymph nodes, which will cause cancer if accumulated for a long time.
The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) suggested that the migration of MOSH from packaging to food should be controlled within 4 mg/kg.
The mineral oil content of these oil peppers, including Laoganma, far exceeds these requirements.
2. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been detected in all products by German laboratories, some of which are carcinogenic.
According to EU regulations, the content limit of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pollutants is 2 μ g/kg.
However, two products, Lao An Ti flavor douchi oil pepper and Lao An Ti spicy tributyl oil pepper, were downgraded to level 2 because of their high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons content (exceeding 50% of the EU limit); Seven products, such as Cuihong, Haorenjia, Laoganma and Youjia, dropped by 4 grades due to the high content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
3. Plasticizer
Plasticizer is a kind of plastic polymer, which can increase the plasticity of plastic. If applied to things, it will show reproductive toxicity.
In this evaluation, the plasticizer content of eight products, such as Haorenjia, Cuihong, Laoganma and Youjia, is higher than the EU standard value.
3. Smelly
Here mainly refers to sodium glutamate-monosodium glutamate.
The main component of monosodium glutamate is sodium glutamate. According to the report of the American Federation of Experimental Biology (FASEB), if you directly ingest 3 grams or more of sodium glutamate in clinic, it will cause headache, neck stiffness, fatigue and other symptoms.
Except for Cuihong spicy red oil and Haoren spicy red pepper, all other products were degraded because they contained flavor enhancer-sodium glutamate or monosodium glutamate.
Ko-Test in Germany is a neutral evaluation organization, and this sampling is anonymous. In order to ensure the accuracy of the test, half of the samples were purchased online and half came from offline stores. The institutions for inspection are 12 authoritative laboratories distributed all over Germany, but the results are not optimistic.
After the results came out, the evaluation agency did not announce the media at the first time, but first informed the relevant enterprises of the results, hoping to analyze them with the enterprises. Unfortunately, after receiving the test results, many enterprises are cold-treated, regardless. Only the old godfather took the initiative to call to ask about the situation.
What is even more surprising is that when reporters called to interview relevant companies, most of them did not recognize such a result. However, when asked whether mineral oil and other indicators were within the company's testing range, people in Sichuan Friendship Food Company were speechless and even said that it was "inconvenient to comment". It can be seen that there are a lot of tricks.
In fact, this is not the first time that "Laoganma" and other foods have been found to have ingredient problems. According to Swiss data, as early as June 2007, Laoganma Chili sauce was found to contain excessive harmful softener in plastic ring materials by the quality inspection department of Zurich, and was ordered to ban the sale.
