What are some examples of food safety?

1, the "hanging white block" in tofu. In order to make tofu look good and improve its toughness, some unscrupulous merchants will add sodium bicarbonate to tofu, which will lead to excessive sulfur dioxide and endanger human health. According to the investigation reporter, the probability of this happening is very low.

2. The "poisonous vegetables" in jiaozi. When using "poisonous vegetables", the vegetables containing methamidophos are generally invisible and can't be smelled, but people are likely to have poisoning symptoms after eating them, which will seriously endanger their lives.

3. Jinhua ham containing dichlorvos. On June 165438+1October16, 2003, the weekly quality report of CCTV news channel revealed that during the production of Zhejiang Jinhua ham with a history of 1200 years, some enterprises not only paid no attention to hygiene control, but also specially sent dead pigs, sows and boars.

4. Sanlu milk powder melamine incident. The dairy product pollution incident in China in 2008 (or the milk powder pollution accident in China in 2008, the poisoned milk powder accident in China in 2008 and the poisoned milk powder accident in China in 2008) is a food safety accident in China.

5. Aquatic products are soaked in formalin. After being soaked in formaldehyde, aquatic products not only swell, deform, change volume and weight, but also formaldehyde lurking in aquatic products is a healthy invisible killer. Although its concentration is low, it is unlikely to cause acute injury, but it will have potential toxic effects.

Extended data:

1. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) announced the recent sampling results of liquid milk products in China. A batch of products produced by Mengniu Dairy (Meishan) Co., Ltd. was found to be aflatoxin M 1 exceeding the standard 140%. Aflatoxin M 1 is a known carcinogen with strong carcinogenicity.

2. Food safety means that food is non-toxic, harmless, meets nutritional requirements and will not cause any acute, subacute or chronic harm to human health. According to the definition of food safety, food safety is "a public health problem in which toxic and harmful substances in food affect human health".

3. This is of practical significance to the application of pathogenic microorganism detection technology in food, especially dairy products. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection technology has been applied to related industries at home and abroad, and international, national and industry standards have been formulated as legal basis.
