Plasticizer incident: Wuliangye also "medium*"

After a wave of waves, it started again. The incident of alcoholic plasticizers seems to be still yesterday, and now Wuliangye plasticizer incident has also been reported.

On November 19, 2012, the alcoholic liquor known as “the best wine in the world” was over 260% of plasticizers. The inspection report of alcoholic liquors sent out showed that alcoholic beverages detected a total of three plasticizer components, namely dihexyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate and dibutyl phthalate. Among them, the content of dibutyl phthalate in alcoholic liquor was 1.08%, and the 551 document issued by the Ministry of Health in June 2011 “The official of the General Office of the Ministry of Health notified the phthalates in food and food additives. The letter of maximum residuals stated that the maximum residue of DBP was 0.3%, and the plasticizer in alcoholic liquor exceeded the standard by 260%.

Originally holding a fluke, he thought that only the drunken plasticizer had exceeded the standard, but unexpectedly, on December 13th, a test report of a white plasticizer obtained by a party named Beijing Zhongneng Xingye Investment Co., Ltd. was exposed. Kweichow Moutai , Wuliangye, Yanghe shares were not spared in the three liquors that were sent for inspection, and the plasticizer test results were all higher than the plasticizer limit letter previously published by the Ministry of Health.

It is worth mentioning that Maotai Cai held a press conference on December 12 and disclosed four test reports, saying that its DBP and DEHP content were in line with the provisions of the Ministry of Health.

Well, this new test report contrasts with Maotai's report. Is it true or false?

Perhaps the focus of our attention should not be on the true and false reports, but on what should be done by relevant departments after the plasticizer incident has been exploded.

Xiao Bian believes that at present, the plasticizer incident has caused consumers to feel uneasy, liquor companies are in fear, for fear that the next plasticizer was detected, and the plasticizer incident from alcoholic liquor development to Guizhou Maotai, It does not rule out that other companies will also be submitted for inspection. The masses are now not merely skeptical of Maotai or alcoholic liquor, but of the entire liquor industry.

Therefore, the country should also issue standards for plasticizers for liquors. Only in this way can companies know if they exceed the standards and consumers can know which wines they can drink and which wines they cannot drink, and the plasticizers event can be calmed down.

Xiao Bian sincerely hopes that the country's standards and policies on food safety can be further improved, so that we can truly be “clothes and food”!
