Duff chocolate is a famous brand and is very popular with consumers. However, this brand of chocolate product has been detected as “extremely too high oil content and claiming that it would cause harm to human organs such as liver, spleen and so forth”, causing widespread social concern. In response, on 7 march, dev responded to a reporter who reported to sheep town that not only were the results of the tests unfounded, but the quality of the products was much better。
Authoritative experts have indicated that while there are currently no criteria in place for mineral oil residue, it is recommended that children should eat less chocolate。
Testing agency: high mineral oil content or damage to organs such as liver
Media have been informed by a third-party testing agency, e-net, that devose milk chocolate has been detected in german laboratories as a mineral oil component, either mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (mosh) or polyolefin hydrocarbons (posh). The results showed that the mineral oil content was too high (mosh/posh > 4 mg/kg for c17-c35)。
According to the above-mentioned testing agency, the product it tested was the chocolate deveilles smooth milk that it purchased in december 2016. The test report indicates that the mineral oil components in the milk skis of devos are likely to come from lubricant used in the production and packaging of mechanical equipment, printed ink on packaging paper containing mineral oil components, etc。
The report refers to the 2013 assessment of the eu food safety agency: “mosh-type substances with moderate and low viscosity (carbon atoms of c16-c35) can accumulate in animals and produce micromeat swelling in organs such as liver, spleen and lymphomy
According to the german federal institute for risk assessment, the health hazard of the mineral aromatic hydrocarbons (moah) is not fully established, but may contain carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons。
Dev response: product quality is absolutely guaranteed
As to the health risks to the product components, at around 11 a. M. On 7 a. M., a journalist from the beam city evening newspaper contacted the deve brand parent company marx food (china) ltd. According to the company's staff concerned, the relevant information has been received that “not only is there no basis for it, but that test and the results have nothing to do with us and the quality of our products is absolutely guaranteed”
It is worth noting that journalists have been searching online to find that reports of chocolate problems in dev have continued since 2006, with the 2013 dev “little worm door” terrorizing consumers into one of the top 10 hotspots of public interest in the year。
At 3. 15 p. M. On the same day, deve explained to the evening reporter in sheep city that marx had always given priority to food safety, that it followed the requirements of the marx global uniform quality standards and that it met the requirements of chinese laws and regulations。
Experts are skeptical: the lower the mineral oil content in food, the better
Did the mineral oil in chocolate come from its packaging or mechanical equipment? In response, zhu yi, an associate professor and doctoral teacher at the school of foods at the chinese university of agriculture, told the journalist of the sun city newspaper that he had been unable to remove the printed ink from the recycled packaging and that the mineral oil in the ink had been recycled into chocolate through packaging。
Chu yi said that the hazards and types of mineral oil are closely related to the doses and that scientists are still studying them further, but one thing is certain: the lower the content, the better the better, the better。
However, chu yi explained that there are no relevant standards in place for mineral oil residue limits and that mineral oil content monitoring is not included in the regular food quality safety testing project。
Is mineral oil safe from routine testing? Chu il stated that the trace mineral oil in food did not cause health damage. But the most important thing is not to give more chocolate to children, not to scrutinise mineral oil, but to have high sugar heat in the chocolate sugar itself。
Reporter visits: sales may decline
On 7 july, just the day before women's day in “38”, a journalist from the late sheep town newspaper visited a number of supermarkets in guangzhou and found that deve chocolate sales were cold. In tien ha'i lafoux, journalists saw a snack shelf full of deff chocolates, but no one looked after them. The staff refrained from talking to journalists about whether chocolate contained mineral oil, but stressed that “the deve case and the barrel were on sale”
On the other hand, in a supermarket in tianhe city, staff indicated that deve chocolate lemons and teas could be sold well, while others were not. He claims to have been affected by the “negative news of mineral oil” of dev, which, although sales data had not been available for a short period of time, would certainly have declined from now on。
Netizen: don't make sweet a burden
Netizens, first known as dev chocolate, have been detected as being “super-high” in mineral oil, which deserves vigilance and attention. In his view, there were many faithful consumers in the country, and some people used dev as a daily snack and often ate it. If dev chocolate can cause bodily harm, many consumers will be affected, and many consumers do not know what adverse effects dev may have on the body。
He indicated that due attention should be given to these food safety risks in dev and that the relevant domestic authorities should be able to conduct professional and authoritative testing and evaluation. If these chocolates do pose a physical hazard, they should be able to respond accordingly, such as whether the actual content of mineral oil should be indicated on the chocolates, or which groups are unfit for consumption, or not for consumption, etc., in order to safeguard the right of consumers to know and protect their right to health。
