Chinese market regulators spot-check some rice dumplings for microbial contamination

  China News Agency, Beijing, June 19 (Wang Qingkai) The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration of China has organized a special inspection and sampling of dumplings. The results of the random inspection announced on the 19th showed that some Zongzi products had problems such as microbial contamination and excessive use of food additives.

  It is reported that the market supervision department recently randomly selected 568 batches of dumpling samples from 212 dumpling manufacturers in the national circulation, catering and production sectors, and found that 2 batches of samples failed.

  Specifically, the 2 batches of samples are mainly due to the problem of microbial contamination and the excessive use of food additives. The total number of colonies and coliforms of Hong Kong-style five-spiced pork dumplings sold by Qinren branch of a lot of self-selected shopping malls in Chancheng District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, which are nominally produced by Dongguan Feige Food Co., Ltd. in Guangdong Province, do not meet the national food safety standards.

  The red bean dumplings sold by Vanke Jiayuan Store in Wuhan Zhongbai Storage Supermarket Co., Ltd., Wuhan City, Hubei Province, which are nominally produced by Wuhan Wutai Baifeng Food Co., Ltd., do not meet the national food safety standards. However, Wuhan Wutai Baifeng Food Co., Ltd. objected to the relevant judgment basis of the inspection agency.

  The State Administration of Market Supervision stated that for the unqualified food found in the random inspection, Hubei, Guangdong and other provincial market supervision departments have been immediately organized to carry out verification and disposal, clarify the flow of products, and take measures to control the risks such as recalling unqualified products; Violations of laws and regulations shall be dealt with in strict accordance with the law; the risk prevention and control measures and verification and disposal measures taken by the enterprise shall be disclosed to the society in a timely manner.
