Liquor plasticizer industry standard will be introduced within two months

Ma Yong, executive vice president and secretary-general of the Liquor Professional Committee of the China Food Industry Association, recently attended a liquor brand meeting and disclosed that the liquor plasticizer indicators jointly researched and formulated by nearly ten food inspection authorities, research institutes, and research centers at home and abroad It will be introduced within two months. If there are no accidents, there will be greater relaxation than the current implementation of the interim standard.

“The original standard is based on the maximum value of the maximum amount of migration specified in the relevant standards for food containers. It cannot be used as a limitation for the content of plasticizers in foods. It is unscientific to copy them completely.” Ma Yong accepted Beijing businessmen. In an interview with the reporter, the reporter said that after the plasticizer contamination incident occurred in Taiwan in 2011, according to the “Food Safety Law” and its implementation regulations, the Ministry of Health will use phthalates as consumers say what they call plasticization. Agents are listed as non-edible substances that may be illegally added in foods, and set temporary limits for their substances in foods and food additives.

“At that time, the adoption of standards was only a limited amount of artificially added, based on the value of the maximum amount of migration specified in the “Hygienic Standards for the Use of Additives for Food Containers and Packaging Materials” GB 9685-2008. We really need to To achieve the limited value in the product, we will formulate domestic plasticizer indicators based on the plasticizer limit standards of Hong Kong, the EU and the World Food and Health Organization and other agencies.” Ma Yong revealed that, unlike the above-mentioned food container standards, The forthcoming liquor industry plasticizer standards will be more relaxed than the previously proposed maximum of 2.32mg/kg, minimum 0.495mg/kg, average 0.537mg/kg standard.

This point was also accused of disguised as a “green light” for plasticizers in the domestic spirits industry. Ma Yong stressed that not all hazardous substances have to set standards, and some substances are not necessarily good, but the content is low, or Occasionally, it does not pose a great risk to the human body, so there is no need to set standards. “Plasticizers do not pose any risk to the human body. It is only taking into account that society has a high degree of concern for plasticizers. This time it has formulated the indicator of plasticizers for white spirits, and it is only a temporary limit value. It is not completely meaningful. On the standard." Ma Yong said.
