Two brands of canned mud carp were found to contain malachite green in Hong Kong. The provincial quality supervision department has conducted law enforcement inspections on canned aquatic products enterprises in the province.

 

After the first discovery of malachite green in canned dace samples in Hong Kong last week, two other brands of canned dace samples were recently found to contain malachite green, namely "Ganzhu brand dace" and "Eagle Gold Medal dace dace". Reporters yesterday in Baijia, Hao Youduo, Wanjia, Carrefour, 7-11, OK convenience stores and other stores, have found that Eagle Money and Ganzhu two brands of canned fish products are the main brands, accounting for about half of the same commodities.

 

Supermarkets see eagle money canned fish hanging high "special" card.

 

At Baijia Supermarket in Tianhe District, the reporter saw a special price sign hanging high above the pile heads of Eagle Money Brand Douchi and Douchi Fish. When the reporter asked many consumers whether they were worried about purchasing soybean dace, they said they were not sure what the problem would be. Some consumers also said, "after eating for more than ten years, there should be no problem." Sales staff told reporters that the shop can sell fish such as bean sauce and dace for several hundred yuan a day, of which Eagle Money and Ganzhu brand sell best.

 

The person in charge of Guangzhou Wanjia Supermarket said that a few days ago, they had communicated with the manufacturer of Eagle Money and Ganzhu brand, and the two companies also provided the hygiene certificate of the products. However, in recent days, after the withdrawal of these two brands in Hongkong, Wanjia Guangzhou also began to prepare for withdrawal. Carrefour, PARKnSHOP and other stores also said they would withdraw the goods.

 

Manufacturers can not respond to the problem of canned 100% recycling

 

Reporters found Gan Zhu in Shunde's office phone, after several setbacks, and did not find any responsible person, but an unknown staff and reporters have a chat. "It's just a little bit more malachite green in one batch of products," she said. "It's not a problem in the processing of our company, it's a problem in the raw materials themselves, it's a problem in the whole canning industry, and it's not good for our company to clarify it alone."

 

Zhan, the propaganda minister of Guangzhou Eagle Money Group, said the mainland had not set a standard until September this year, with the current requirement of less than 2 parts per billion; cans found to be too high in content were produced before September this year, with a content of 4 parts per billion.

 

Minister Zhan said it was impossible to recycle 100% of all cans produced before September. First, many cans were circulated to more remote areas. Second, large-scale recycling would cause panic in the market.

 

Quality supervision departments have conducted sampling inspection for Canned aquatic products enterprises.

 

The Hong Kong Food and Environmental Hygiene Department recently announced the existence of malachite green in the canned soybean milk carp. Reporters learned from the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau yesterday that the Guangdong Provincial Quality Supervision Department had launched an emergency early warning mechanism in accordance with the established system as soon as the Hong Kong Food and Environmental Hygiene Department announced.  Ren Xiaotie, deputy director of the Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision, told reporters that a few days ago, the Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision had organized relevant law enforcement departments to conduct law enforcement inspections on canned aquatic products enterprises in the province and carried out spot checks on related products of enterprises. At present, the results of spot checks have not yet come out.

 

He said that food safety actually covers four types of safety concepts (food quality, health, health, biosafety). Food quality safety and hygiene safety are the basis of health and safety, but they are by no means equivalent to health and safety. The misunderstanding that food quality safety and hygiene safety should be promoted to the problem of substituted food health and safety often appears in society.

 

Such a "aquatic products containing malachite green incident" from the quality and safety point of view, it is absolutely unqualified. But how much harm does it bring to human health and safety? According to the Hong Kong Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, it is estimated that malachite green intake will not seriously affect health even if up to 290 kilograms of freshwater fish are eaten daily.

 

Weak supervision of expert opinions led to violations of the whole industry

 

"In 2002, the Ministry of Agriculture banned malachite green as a veterinary drug. In the light of the present effect, it is not ideal.

 

It is this kind of violation that the whole industry may take part in so that every enterprise is not convinced of its own violation. As soon as something goes wrong, the manufacturer is pushing the responsibility to the supplier, as if he is not responsible or all the responsibility. Suppliers are often smaller enterprises that are hard to find. But if consumers who are weaker than these companies eat more than 200 kilograms of malachite green a day, where should they go after acute poisoning?

 

In the early days of the malachite green scandal, some Guangzhou residents were still eating canned food with ease, thinking that as long as they did not eat "that brand" would be good, but when many cans were found to be higher than the prescribed level, they began to worry: "I have eaten this kind of canned food for several years, if really toxic, eat enough. Now it is said to eat more than 200 kilograms a day before the problem, who knows whether it will be a few years and say that there are sequelae what ah!

 

Mao Xinwu said that the key to the problem is that supervision is too weak. Although malachite green was banned as early as 2002, there is no corresponding regulatory penalty. For example, malachite green is still sold illegally in some fishery supplies stores, and it can not block the circulation of malachite green in the aquatic market from the source. There is still no corresponding regulatory penalty for the illegal use of malachite green. Less detection of malachite green residues in aquatic products.
