Survey indicates that the shelf life of food can be arbitrarily changed with "potions" as a potential rule

Into the supermarket to buy food, people are most concerned about the shelf life of the package. What is less known is that, including many brand-name foods, information such as shelf life can be changed by simple means.

“Xinhua Viewpoint” reporter recently found out in Beijing and Hunan that some businesses use “props” such as printing machinery and toxic chemical agents to alter the shelf life of food as “juggling”, which is hard to distinguish. Relevant experts called for the special rectification of the "hidden rules" of the food industry, the combination of "human defense" and "technical defense," and consumers should understand it.

"Shelf-life date" was easily changed. The quality supervision department of Liuyang City, Hunan Province, recently discovered that a medium-sized food company has tampered with the date of packaging production. The female worker who was operating on this false "work procedure" has also been burned.

Recently, the reporter with the deputy director of Liuyang City Bureau of Quality Supervision Yu Xianghuai came to Hunan funny fun food factory. The person in charge of the plant admitted that at the end of May this year, there was a Guangdong dealer's trick, saying that the production date stamped on the packaging bag was “old-fashioned”, and it was proposed to change the “sale phase” to coding printing.

According to the dealer’s instructions, “entertainment” bought a printer, and at the same time arranged two female workers to use the “medicinal water” to erase the printed production date and reprint it into a new date. Unexpectedly, the two women workers do not know how to wear gloves, but they have been corroded by “medicinals” for a few days, and there have been large blisters. Later, due to disputes over treatment and other issues with the factory, the event finally came to light.

The funny and funny food factory altered the date of production of the food was investigated, and the “shelf” was used to arbitrarily alter the issue of the shelf life of the food to be presented to the public.

According to informed sources, the so-called "medicinal water" is mainly "banana water" (isoamyl acetate), paint thinner and so on. These compounds are flammable, toxic, and can damage the skin, throat, bronchus, lungs, and even the nervous system. Using "medicine" to alter the warranty period is an "open secret" in the industry.

According to the instructions of quality supervisors in Liuyang City, the reporter did an experiment. First from a large "foreign supermarket" bought snow cakes, cooked foods, dried fruits, carbonated drinks, juices, teas and other first-line brands at home and abroad, and then went to the market to buy "medicine". In a paint shop, the reporter easily spent $ 3 to buy 300 ml of paint thinner in a used medical infusion bottle.

Use a cotton swab to dip "thinners" and lightly spread the production date, batch number, etc. of the fonts on various "big" food packages. After a few seconds, the reporter witnessed the "miracle": whether it is plastic bags or aluminum cans. Or cartons, production dates, etc. are basically smeared clean!

It's easy to paint, and it's not hard to print it again. The reporter telephoned the manufacturers of several coastal cities and found that they could easily purchase coders and printers. Among them, there are "economical" machines with a price of only 1,000 yuan, which is said to be particularly suitable for small workshops and small shops. The printers that can be installed on the production lines cost more than 20,000 yuan. This does not constitute a price for manufacturers. Obvious burden.

"Either printing or coding, as long as the use of ink, can be altered." A supplier of coding equipment, said, "Printing time information, within 3 years can be adjusted!"

Consumers have been “hidden rules” in the dark Local food regulatory authorities often remind consumers that they can check whether the production date is “ambiguous” and whether the printing date has “ink left and the color is dark”. Rights protection. Some industry insiders frankly stated that these identification techniques have now basically failed with the “upgrading” of altering methods.

Yu Xianghuai et al. said that the out-of-date re-listing of foods would be very harmful. The bacterial population originally controlled within a safe range may be amplified by “geometry”. The “healthy killers” such as Salmonella, Shigella and Staphylococcus aureus, which should not have existed, will also take advantage.

"For the problem of altering the shelf life of foods, many people know from big companies to small vendors." A well-known manufacturer of food packaging machinery in Beijing revealed that at present, more effective countermeasures are the use of laser printers. The production date and other information are "burned" on the package with a laser.

However, for the "laser machine", many manufacturers in the food industry are away from it. The reporter found that the main reason is that the cost is too high, the price is about 2 times the use of ink equipment. At the same time, the production efficiency is lower than the "ink machine", which will affect the company's production capacity.

For this reason, some large companies in the food industry adopt an “internal control risk” attitude toward the date of correction: they include special codes in the coding information such as the production date, and one code corresponds to only one batch of products. In this way, when the product date is altered and there is a quality dispute, the company will give evidence to seek exemption. However, after the company seeks to “go it alone,” consumers are still blindfolded and become the biggest victims.

Preventing Food from "Never Expires" Should Attempt to Attempt Both the Present and the Present The problem of "distortion" of food shelf life is becoming one of the most prominent hidden dangers in food safety. Relevant experts appealed that the regulatory authorities urgently need to take measures to combine "technical defense" and "human defense" with all their efforts.

Chen Zhiqiang, vice president of Backgammon's commercial chain company, suggested that the country should vigorously support research on anti-corruption technology in food packaging. China's food labeling general standard has been used for many years, and some places have obviously lagged behind the development of the industry. At present, on the one hand, the licensing system should be used to regulate the production of food marking machines and smearing agents; on the other hand, higher requirements should be placed on the food packaging printing technology and content, and the “date game” should be contained from the source.

A person in charge of a supermarket in Beijing admits that at present the "meeting regulations" in the food circulation field are the rejection of the remaining 1/3 shelf life of the packaged foods, and the remaining 2/3 shelf-life products are included in the sales promotion target. The final expired goods, businesses will often return the manufacturers, the loss is borne by the manufacturers. This unreasonable distribution system provides the possibility for manufacturers to forge food shelf life.

In this regard, experts suggest that the regulatory authority should implement a formatted contract in the circulation field and prohibit the return of expired food products to manufacturers. The relevant losses should be shared by supermarkets and manufacturers.

So, how do you deal with expired foods? Professor Luo Yunbo, Dean of the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering at China Agricultural University, believes that foreign companies can learn from foreign practices and introduce "third-party mechanisms." Supporting "third party" companies to make expired foods into feed, fertilizer, or fermentation to produce methane as an industrial energy source. "This will allow about 70% of expired foods to be recycled."

Prof. Zheng Fengtian of Renmin University of China proposed that the regulatory authorities should refer to international experience and require domestic food packaging to be marked with a “sales deadline” to allow consumers to purchase, store, and leave room for consumption; to mark “the best taste period” and to clarify the taste or quality of food. The best time for the labeling; indicate the "use period", specify the date of last food consumption; print the "packaging package date" so that the problem can be investigated.

According to national conditions, the government can't sing food safety at this stage. The government cannot sing "one-corner operas." It must mobilize social forces and encourage disclosure of the "dark screen" of the food industry.

“But the current consumer rights protection laws and food safety laws and other laws and regulations have no explicit support for 'Wang Hai-style' professional anti-counterfeiting etc.” Zhu Yuexian, the Quality Supervision Bureau of Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, said that law enforcement officials at the grass-roots level should use judicial interpretation, etc. The method creates conditions for reporting, counterfeiting and judicial claims by various social forces. "Only the supervision of the whole society, all kinds of 'lose strokes' can not hide."
