"Sudan red?" After hearing this, Boss Zhu was suddenly a little curious, "Is that a pigment?" ”

Fan Wuxi scratched his head and said, "I don't know very well, I only know that this thing is harmful and carcinogenic, but it still needs to be tested first to determine whether it contains Sudan dyes, and then talk about other things." ”

Seeing that Boss Zhu was at a loss, Fan Wuxian explained, "The function of this thing is to make things very red and very positive, but this is carcinogenic, it seems that the country used to have a list of prohibited additions, and there were Sudan dyes." ”

Boss Zhu sighed, and then instructed his secretary to contact the people from the General Administration of Quality Supervision and Supervision to come over and take samples for testing, and he and Fan Wuxian returned to the office to continue to discuss some issues.

That is, after waiting for more than an hour, the news came from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, which proved that the bottle of chili oil did contain Sudan dyes, and the secretary also got first-hand materials about Sudan dyes.

Ordinary people, as long as they are not operators in the production and processing process, do not know what Sudan dyes are?

In fact, Sudan dyes are a chemical dye and not a food additive. Its chemical composition contains a compound called naphthalene, which has an azo structure, and due to the nature of this chemical structure, it is carcinogenic and has obvious toxic effects on the liver and kidney organs of the human body.

Sudan dyes are chemical dyes, mainly used in petroleum, motor oil and some other industrial solvents, in order to add color, but also used for shoes, flooring, etc.

All in all, this stuff shouldn't be added to food.

The secretary reported, "Since Sudan dyes are a synthetic industrial dye, in 1995, the European Union and other countries have banned it from being added as a pigment in food, which is also expressly prohibited in China. However, due to its bright dyeing, some countries, such as India, also allow the addition of Sudan dyes in the process of processing paprika. ”

Sudan dyes can cause cancer is not news, it is news that Sudan dyes have never been checked in China after Sudan dyes have been listed as food banned substances for so many years, not only that, but now, even the methods and standards for identifying Sudan dyes in China have become a problem.

This time, if it wasn't for Boss Zhu personally sending a secretary to send it for inspection, the people from the General Administration of Quality Supervision heard that it was to check the Sudan red ingredients, so they got the testing method from foreign channels and investigated and dealt with the ingredients in the sample.

Since 1995, the European Union and some other countries have banned the addition of Sudan Dye No. 1 dye to food. In 1996, the "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives" issued in China also stipulated that Sudan dyes were absolutely forbidden to be used in food production.

After a temporary online search, we also found that not long ago, France found that the pepper products produced by a British company contained Sudan Dye No. 1, so it was required to immediately recall this product. Although the recall was small, it rewrote the EU's import and export regulations. Therefore, the EU stipulates that all chili powder entering EU countries must issue a certificate that does not contain Sudan Dye No. 1.

A lot of chili powder produced in India has been blocked from the EU for this reason, and the Asans have protested that the EU has a targeted and discriminatory import policy.

The UK's Food Standards Agency has also issued a warning to consumers and trade bodies about Sudan Dye 1 after it found Sudan Dyes, a colour containing potential carcinogens, in a new batch of food products in supermarkets. The UK Food Standards Agency not only requires food manufacturers to remain vigilant against red contamination, but also reiterates that it is strictly forbidden to use Sudan Dye No. 1 from the list of banned products that contain potential carcinogens.

However, these two Sudan Red No. 1 incidents do not seem to have attracted the attention of the relevant domestic parties, because since then, whether it is the domestic quality supervision department or the food safety authority, as always, neither requires the corresponding products from other countries to issue a certificate that does not contain Sudan Red No. 1 when entering China, let alone list it as a routine testing item.

"How can this happen?" After Boss Zhu heard this report, he felt very angry, "What did the quality supervision department do in a day?" This kind of thing should be their job responsibility, why has it never been checked? If I hadn't had dinner with Mr. Xiao Fan today and found out about it, I would still be in the dark! ”

Boss Zhu was angry, the problem was very serious, and the person in charge of the General Administration of Quality Supervision and the person in charge of the food safety department rushed over, and saw Boss Zhu angry, and they all felt a little trembling.

Hearing Boss Zhu ask about Sudan dyes, both sides were at a loss, obviously they themselves didn't know what Sudan dye was, and then they called experts from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, and then called experts from the Additive Society, and everyone figured out what this thing was.

The expert said to Boss Zhu that although the "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives" have long been issued in China, prohibiting the use of Sudan Dye No. 1 as a food additive, but in the course of his more than ten years of practice, he has never carried out Sudan dye testing, nor has any unit applied for Sudan dye testing, in fact, even he himself has not seen Sudan dye standard samples.

The officials of the relevant departments who rushed over confessed that if it weren't for Boss Zhu asking about Sudan red this time, they would never have even heard of the term Sudan red.

"You guys are a corpse vegetarian meal!" Boss Zhu was furious and said, "Then I won't ask you what you can't do, I'll just ask, what can you do?!" It's the time of the New Year's holiday, go to the market for a turn, and that person has been sampling samples for many years. Or do you take the inspection fee twice a year, causing public resentment to boil? What else can you do?! ”

Everyone looked at each other, how could Boss Zhu even know about this matter? This is probably who made a small report in front of him again, right? How else could he have known about such a thing?

In fact, on this issue, the quality inspection department also has its own difficulties, the country has not yet introduced a unified testing methods and standards, which has brought a lack of judgment basis to the inspection of many ingredients that can not be added to the report, so they have not yet been able to issue some test reports, and some businesses can also grasp this point after their products are found to be problematic, claiming that the food safety inspection report has never been Sudan red this indicator, the characterization of Sudan red, the state has not issued official materials.

Prohibition but no investigation, no standard to follow, no basis to follow, this makes Sudan Red No. 1 such non-food additives, in the case of the domestic ban on its use as food additives, still as food additives hidden in food for six years, but also to today's law enforcement investigation and punishment work has brought embarrassment.

"Anyway, what have you been doing all these years?" Boss Zhu naturally refused to listen to their shirk, in fact, as Boss Zhu said, in addition to being interested in collecting money, they did not have any enthusiasm for taking the initiative to conduct business, which led to today's situation.

Finally, Boss Zhu asked all departments to conduct self-inspection and self-correction to see how many food safety additives in danger of food safety within the scope of their respective jurisdictions can not be inspected or have no treatment standards, he said that in today's rapid development of the commodity economy, it is not enough to rely on the initiative and integrity of businesses, and government departments must take their responsibilities seriously.

In addition, the food safety department is ordered to conduct random inspections of relevant products in major supermarkets across the country to determine whether there is a non-food additive such as Sudan dyes?

After sending these people away, Boss Zhu said to Fan Wuxian with a headache, "Look at it, it's like this, from top to bottom, I don't realize where my responsibility is, when I fight for power and profit, everyone rushes up and breaks their heads, and when it's their turn to discuss responsibility, they shrink their heads like turtles one by one, if you sit in my position, you have to be old for at least twenty years!" ”

Fan Wuxian smiled slightly when he heard this, "I believe this, so I resolutely do not enter the officialdom, do my business with my conscience, be free, and contribute to this country and the nation, and make great efforts, what's so bad?" ”

Boss Zhu shook his head and said, "Your idea seems reasonable at first glance, but it's actually wrong, it is precisely because this system has such and such faults, so we have to work harder to transform it, otherwise, what else do we need to do?" Just like your father, Comrade Fan Heng, isn't he also working hard every day for these things? ”

"I don't deny this, in fact, I still admire your labor." Fan Wuxian said solemnly.

"I don't see anything to admire, I guess in your heart, it's true that you're laughing at us for being pedantic-" Boss Zhu was not moved by Fan Wuxi's words, and shook his head with a smile.

The two of them discussed for a long time, and after having dinner together, Fan Wuxian said goodbye and left.

When he got home, it was already the beginning of the lights, and at this time he noticed that Shen Ying was not at home, and when he asked about his mother Zhang Mei, she said that Shen Ying had come back with a young girl in the afternoon, and then left, saying that she probably wouldn't come back at night.

"Oh, if she doesn't come, it's probably just to exchange feelings with her sister-" Fan Wuxian nodded and said secretly.

"What?" Zhang Mei heard Fan Wuxi muttering there, so she raised her head and asked.

There are no pop-ups
