Isn't Lu Hua Nut Blend Oil produced on 20 15?

Lu Hua, I don't want to tell you the secret-the label of Lu Hua nut blending oil violates the national standard. At the end of 20 1 1, the reporter received a report from consumers, which reflected that Lu Hua nut blended oil sold in Wu Mei, CR Vanguard, Auchan and other supermarkets in Hangzhou was suspected of passing off rapeseed oil (or soybean oil) as nut oil, and the product label was unclear, which was a kind of consumer fraud. After receiving the report, the reporter went to these supermarkets for field investigation and found that the problems reflected by consumers were basically true. The main component of Lu Hua nut blending oil is rapeseed oil (or soybean oil), and the most prominent walnut oil and grape seed oil on the label are actually very few. In Wu Mei Supermarket Hangzhou Wen Yi Road Store, the reporter saw that the shelves were filled with Lu Hua oil, and the words "Nut Blended Oil" on the bottle were particularly conspicuous. The label hanging on the seal of the oil bottle indicates with striking words and pictures that the oil is composed of "walnuts, peanuts and grape seeds" and calls itself the golden triangle of vitality. At first glance, people think that "walnut, peanut and grape seed" should be the main components of this blended oil, among which walnut is listed at the front and should be the most important component. The label is turned over, and the content on the other side is to publicize the benefits of walnuts, peanuts and grape seeds to the human body. Looking further down, the bottle was labeled with the slogan "Nuts every day, brains are flexible and healthy", because there has always been a saying in China that nuts such as walnuts supplement the brain. This slogan further strengthens people's understanding that the main component of this blended oil is walnuts. However, when the reporter carefully studied the small font of the product label, he found that the composition of this oil was not what the label's large font and picture propaganda said at all. The ingredient list marked with small font is rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, camellia oil, walnut oil and grape seed oil. In terms of ranking, walnut oil and grape seed oil, which are particularly prominent in the publicity, have the least content in Lu Hua nut blending oil. Article 5 of the national mandatory standard "General Rules for Labeling in prepackaged foods" stipulates that "if one or more valuable and distinctive ingredients are added to food labels or food instructions, the added amount of the emphasized ingredients shall be marked." Obviously, Lu Hua Nut Blend Oil violates this regulation. Although the benefits and advantages of walnut oil and grape seed oil are particularly emphasized, people can't know the true content of these two ingredients because there is no label at all. What is the content? The promoter couldn't tell, saying it was a secret recipe. During the interview, the reporter repeatedly asked the supermarket selling products and Lu Hua Hangzhou Branch to provide explanations on the contents of walnut oil and grape seed oil in the blended oil, but no reply was received. Cui Heng, manager of Lu Hua Hangzhou Branch, explained that Lu Hua nut blending oil is a national patent product, and the formula of blending oil is confidential. The contents of walnut oil and grape seed oil are trade secrets of the company and cannot be provided to reporters. Why not label it according to the requirements of national standards? Is it because the contents of walnut oil and grape seed oil are too small to be labeled? Or is there another reason? People can't help asking, is Lu Hua's secret recipe to protect trade secrets or is the quality questionable? In fact, people can roughly understand the main components of Lu Hua nut blended oil products by comparing the market prices of various oil products. The reporter collected the prices of various oils contained in Lu Hua nut blended oil in Hang Cheng supermarket. The price of 5 liters of Lu Hua nut blending oil with rapeseed oil as the main component is 10 1.9 yuan (converted to 20.4 yuan per liter), while the price of 5 liters of Lu Hua rapeseed oil of the same brand is 88 yuan per bottle (converted to per liter 17.6 yuan), and the price of 5 liters of Lu Hua peanut oil is 125 yuan (converted to per liter of 25 yuan) Other nut oils are not produced in Lu Hua, but according to the low prices of other brands in shopping malls, tea seed oil is the cheapest per liter in 70 yuan, grape seed oil is more than per liter in 200 yuan, and walnut oil is more expensive than that in 600 yuan. According to the prices of various nut oils, we can basically calculate the contents of walnut oil and grape seed oil in Lu Hua nut blending oil. Rapeseed oil ranks first in the ingredient list, and it is definitely the main component of Lu Hua nut blending oil. The price difference between Lu Hua nut blended oil and rapeseed oil per liter is 2.8 yuan. If walnut oil is simply added to rapeseed oil, the maximum content of walnut oil in Lu Hua nut blended oil per liter will not exceed 5 ml; If grape seed oil is simply added, the maximum content per liter will not exceed 14 ml. If these two oils are added at the same time, the actual content will not reach 1% of the total. Of course, if the prices of walnut oil and grape seed oil in Lu Hua are much cheaper than those of other merchants, or Lu Hua is willing to sell nut oil at a loss, then the contents of walnut oil and grape seed oil in nut blended oil may be higher than the reporter's estimate, but no matter how much, consumers are not informed according to national standards. Does the labeling and publicity of Lu Hua Nut Blended Oil constitute consumer fraud? The reporter interviewed Han Zhibin, director of the Complaints and Legal Affairs Department of Zhejiang Consumer Protection Committee. Han Zhibin said that the laws of many countries clearly stipulate the authenticity of food propaganda: "Article 48 of the Food Safety Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that food labels shall not contain false or exaggerated contents; Article 9 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "Operators shall not make misleading false propaganda on the quality, composition, performance, use, producer, expiration date and place of origin of goods by advertising or other methods; Article 4 of the General Rules for Labeling in prepackaged foods stipulates that "all the contents of prepackaged foods labels shall not introduce food with false, misleading or deceptive words and graphics, and shall not mislead consumers by using the size or color difference of the font size; It is also forbidden to use direct or indirect suggestive language, graphics or symbols to make consumers confuse the food they buy or the food of a certain nature with another food. " Director Han believes that judging from the label of nut blending oil, the label always puts walnuts and grape seeds in the most eye-catching position by enlarging fonts and pictures, which is quite deceptive, and it is easy for consumers to mistakenly think that the main components of this blending oil are walnut oil and grape seed oil, but in fact, the contents of these two components are very low, which is an illegal act to mislead consumers by labeling. So what is Lu Hua Nut Blend Oil? What kind of nut oil is it made of? What is the content of valuable nut oil such as walnut oil and grape seed oil? Consumers have reported to relevant departments in Zhejiang and Hangzhou. We will follow up the investigation and wait for Lu Hua's reply with the consumers.
