710. Food safety
A series of events in Kim Polo have caused quite a stir on the Internet.
This kind of thing, if it had been put ten years ago, might not have caused such a big repercussion. On the one hand, the Internet was not developed at that time, and if it were not reported by the national media, people in other places might not know about accidents in one city and one place. On the other hand, it was also because the common people at that time had just solved the problem of having a full stomach, so how could they care about health? The so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure, this statement is absolutely correct, only when the people can eat their stomachs, they will enjoy football, and when the enjoyment can also be satisfied, everyone will pursue health.
It's a step-by-step process.
Ten years ago, people did not have the channel to know too much food safety knowledge, and even if they did, not many people cared.
But that's no longer the case.
Nowadays, people's lives are getting better and better, and problems such as quality of life, food hygiene and safety have gradually become big problems.
The reason is very simple, it is because it involves food hygiene, so everyone is very concerned. The distant group used a lot of money and contacts to reluctantly settle this matter. As a result, the dust has not completely settled before, and now there is a problem on the side of Kentucky Chicken.
In fact, Kende chicken really often has problems, not to mention foreign countries, the situation abroad is far from clear, just talk about domestic.
In the original time and space, in the world before Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth, Kende Chicken broke out the problem of Sudan red.
About next year, that is, in 05, Sudan dyes were first discovered in Kentucky chicken food in the United Kingdom, and more than 500 kinds of food were removed from the shelves at a very fast speed. In February of the same year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China issued an urgent notice, focusing on the prosecution of Sudan Red No. 1 in imported products to prevent them from entering the domestic circulation channel. Yum Restaurants, to which KFC belongs, immediately required the supplier to test the relevant seasoning and provide written confirmation. On Feb. 25, Yum supplier Guangzhou Zhongshan Ji Kuaifu Food Company sent a written reply confirming that the products it supplied did not contain Sudan dyes.
As a result, on March 4, the relevant departments in Beijing detected "Sudan Red No. 1" from Heinz chili sauce and confirmed that Sudan Red came from Tianyang, Guangshi. Yum once again asked all suppliers to continue to check for Sudan Red No. 1 and shift their focus to domestic raw materials. Then on March 15, trace amounts of Sudan Red (No. 1) were found in the Kentucky Chicken New Orleans Roast Wings and New Orleans Roast Chicken Trumstick Burger Seasoning. On March 16, Yum asked all Kentucky Chicken restaurants in the country to stop selling New Orleans Grilled Wings and New Orleans Chicken Thigh Burger. At the same time, the internal process is initiated to properly dispose of and destroy all leftover seasonings to prevent the problem seasonings from flowing back to the consumption channel. Issued a "statement on the Sudan Red (No. 1) issue" by Kentucky Chicken through the media and restaurants to apologize to the public.
On March 17, when Yum quality control personnel were further investigating Sudan dyes at the Jikuaifu factory, they found in the production records that the spicy powder containing Sudan dyes provided by Hongfang Fragrance Co., Ltd. had also been used in some KFC spicy chicken wings, spicy chicken thigh burgers and hot chicken rice pastries before January 12, 2005. Kentucky Chicken immediately notified all restaurants to stop using a small amount of leftover Jikuaifu seasoning and replace it with the same McCormick. On this day, before Yum Group replaced the seasonings of the above three products, the Beijing Import and Export Inspection and Quarantine Bureau sampled the batch of problematic seasonings at the company's Wanhui restaurant.
On the 18th, the inspection report confirmed that the base fast rich seasoning contained Sudan dyes. It was not until the 28th that KFC held a press conference in 16 cities across the country, announcing that it had been tested by professional institutions on hundreds of related items of KFC and confirmed that all products did not contain Sudan dyes. The company identified that all the problems came from Hongfang Fragrance Co., Ltd., a supplier of Zhongshanji Kuaifu. Hongfang had supplied two batches of chili powder containing Sudan dyes to Ji Kuaifu. Some of these two batches of paprika are used in Kentucky Chicken's New Orleans and Spicy products. At the meeting, KFC announced three food safety measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The reaction of Kentucky Chicken at that time was not unpleasant, but even so, it had a huge impact on the business of Kentucky Chicken at that time.
But do you think that's the end of it?
Far from it.
On October 19, 12, the report on food safety inspection and testing in the third quarter of Shonan Province was announced, and the spicy chicken leg burger of the Apollo branch of Kender Chicken Co., Ltd. appeared in the unqualified list. The Health Bureau of the Shonan Provincial Capital sampled the batch of Kender Chicken Spicy Chicken Leg Burger on August 29 and found that the coliform bacteria content was 230MPN/100g, which was nearly 8 times higher than the standard according to the standard of 30MPN/100g for food safety cakes. The food safety department of Kentucky Chicken objected to this, arguing that the burger is not bread and cannot be measured by the standard of bread and pastry, and asked the health department to reconsider. The local health bureau reported the matter to the Shonan Provincial Health Department, and after consulting relevant experts from the Shonan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, temporarily removed the Kentucky Chicken Burger from the list of ineligible people. The relevant person in charge said that the safety of foreign fast food burgers cannot be determined, because the country does not have technical testing standards.
But in any case, it is indisputable that the detection data exceeds the standard.
There is also the "fast-growing chicken" incident that was exposed in December of the same year, and its main supplier is Sanhe Group, which has a greater impact on its sales.
As a result, the turmoil of the "medicine chicken" incident has not subsided, and it is reported that Dayong Group in Nanhe Province has been processing sick chickens and dead chickens for a long time and selling them to foreign fast food such as McDonald's, Kende chicken, and Tex. In this regard, Dayong Group firmly denied it. KFC stated that if any violations are found, they will be dealt with strictly. The fact is that due to the poor growth environment of the white feather chickens of Dayong Group, a large number of chickens were slaughtered due to some diseases before they grew up, and then entered the market. The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying: "Dead chickens were not harmlessly disposed of on the spot, but were pulled dozens of kilometers away to be processed into chicken powder and chicken bone meal." ”
Although dead chickens are not unusable, after all, they are different from sick chickens and medicine chickens, but they are still uncomfortable, and they always feel that what they eat is not very good.
After that, there is the famous ice cube incident.
At the time, there were media reports that more than 60 percent of restaurant chains in the UK provided ice cubes with more bacteria than water from toilet tanks. On the same day, a TV reporter bought edible ice cubes from the Chongwen store of Kende Chicken, and at the same time took a sample of toilet water and sent it to the testing center for comparative testing. The test results showed that the total number of colonies of Kender chicken edible ice cubes was as high as 2,000 per milliliter, which was 19 times higher than the national standard and 12 times higher than the toilet water.
Others, such as genetically modified soybean milk incidents, supply of expired meat incidents, chicken farm incidents, etc., don't look at Kentucky Chicken can be called one of the largest fast-food chains in the world, but it itself is not a blank slate.
So is it only Kentucky Chicken that has the problem?
Of course not.
On the McDonald's side, there are also many very serious food safety problems.
For a simple example, let's start with the Chicken McNuggets incident. According to reports at the time, the McNuggets sold in McDonald's contain chemicals such as mud gum and petroleum. For a time, the safety of the food of this well-known fast food brand was once again questioned. Dimethylpolysiloxane is a chemical defoamer that is often used in toys and cosmetics, and it is also one of the ingredients in drugs to treat bloating. As for tert-butylhydroquinone, it is a preservative of animal and vegetable oils, containing petroleum ingredients, and eating one gram can cause nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, and even suffocation in severe cases. Regarding the presence of these chemicals in the McNuggets sold by McDonald's in the United States, McConn, global media relations manager at McDonald's, explained that the use of dimethyl polysiloxane is based on safety reasons to prevent the oil from foaming. The tert-butylhydroquinone content contained in each serving of Chicken McNuggets is controlled at 0.02 per cent, which is also within the safe range.
However, at that time, some food experts pointed out that chicken nuggets must contain these chemicals in order to maintain their shape and taste, and health experts also said that McNuggets contains trace amounts of chemicals and should not pose much risk to human health. In the end, it's no longer over, after all, such a big consortium can't just go wrong because of a little thing.
But McDonald's to be honest, in fact, it's not much better than Kentuck's chicken, and all kinds of accidents on their side are also frequent, and the one above is not much to say in the end, but what about the others.
For example, the incident of the poisoned glass.
On June 4, 2010, McDonald announced that it had recalled about 12 million glasses printed with the pattern of "Shrek 4" due to the detection of cadmium, a carcinogenic metal.
At that time, inspectors from the Consumer Product Safety Commission of the United States found cadmium on the paint of this batch of drinking cups, and the cadmium contained in this batch of drinking cups can seep out of the surface, which is potentially harmful to users, especially children. Cadmium is a known carcinogen that can cause respiratory diseases, osteoporosis and kidney problems when ingested. Fortunately, it was recalled in time, otherwise McDonald would be another big basket.
It's not over yet.
A nutritionist named Brusseau once conducted an experiment with McDonald's "Happy Children's Meal", and found that the burgers and fries purchased in 2009 were still intact a year later, and accused McDonald of having too many preservatives.
Bruso admits that her home is close to the Denver Rocky Mountains in Colorado and has a dry climate. But she added that during the year-long experiment, she opened the windows several times, but no flies or other insects were attracted to the food. "If the fly doesn't eat the Happy Meal, it means that the microbes can't break it down, and the child's body can't metabolize it properly. Now you know why it's called junk food. When the news came back to China, the relevant nutritionists in China were also "surprised" when they heard the news, knowing that even in extreme environments such as deserts and refrigerators, hamburgers and other foods could not be spoiled. Suddenly, McDonald was once again pushed to the forefront.
This is McDonald's.
As for the others, such as the leftovers or something, don't they have food safety problems?
Yes, as long as you are engaged in the catering industry, it is impossible to have no problems at all. After all, people are not machines, and there will always be times when they are negligent, or because of personal factors such as laziness and greed, there will inevitably be some scenes that everyone does not want to see. This is quite normal. It's like this Sudan dyes, the Sudan dye seat fuel is used in the seasoning, although it is not long, but the radiation range is very large. Especially for these foreign fast food products entering the country, they are bound to improve their products, and after the improvement, the use of chili powder and other seasonings has become inevitable.
It can't be said that all chili powder has a problem, but first of all, it is certain that there must be a problem on the side of Kentucky chicken.
McDonald's may not have it, but it doesn't matter, when the account on Weibo published about the issue of Kentucky chicken having Sudan dyes, it broke out that McDonald's veteran fried oil has been reused many times, resulting in serious internal carcinogens exceeding the standard.
The oil used for frying has not been refined and impurities, so it should not be used repeatedly. Because under the action of high temperature for a long time, there are often some oxidative decomposition substances and harmful substances produced by high temperature in frying oil, such as triglycerides, nitrosopyridines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, unsaturated fatty acid peroxides, etc., which seriously affect human health, resulting in human nerve paralysis, tumors, and even death. And this situation is actually common in various fast food restaurants. If you want to say whether Kim Polo has or not? That is definitely the case, and it is impossible to completely prevent it.
It's just that Jin Polo has just checked himself, and even canceled the franchise qualifications of more than a dozen franchisees, and the manager of the self-operated store has taken off several in one go, Zhou Fangyuan took advantage of the incident in the previous paragraph to catch Jin Polo's situation, and now Jin Polo is of course no problem, so he can rest assured that he can boldly expose this information. Anyway, his own family is like this, whether it is the black hand of several other families, he can't let them just watch the joke on the sidelines.
As a result, as soon as there was movement on Weibo, it was immediately reprinted on the whole network, and because of the problem of Kim Polo, the enthusiasm of the media had just been mobilized, and now there were also problems in fast food restaurants such as Kender Chicken and McDonald's, and the reporters immediately surrounded them like flies that asked about the smell. The relevant state departments also immediately intervened to launch an investigation, and in the end, sure enough, in the two cases of Sudanese red pepper and repeated frying oil, Kentucky Chicken and McDonald's Lao, as well as other foreign fast food companies, have similar problems. Of course, Kim Polo's side was also checked, but Kim Polo had no problem.
As a result, Zhou Fangyuan was finally able to stand aside and watch the jokes of several other companies.
In addition, Jin Polo is a national enterprise, Ken Mai and other foreign enterprises, and someone with a heart is a little bit of a stir on the Internet, and the saying that "the United States wants to destroy the next generation of the Chinese people" began to be very popular. Although someone immediately intervened to suppress the news, before this statement was suppressed, it had completely spread among the people, and overnight, the turnover of several major fast food companies began to plummet.
