Who is responsible for the management of the addiction in the beverage shop?

After the “toxic drink” incident in Taiwan, food safety issues related to additives were repeatedly exposed. Recently, according to the provisions of the State Food and Drug Administration, starting in June, except for the hotpot restaurants in the city, food additives used in homemade hot pot bases and home-made sauces should be displayed as required. Each beverage store should also publish self-made beverage additives. . Yesterday, reporters interviewed street drink shops at street vendors, fresh fruit outlets, and typhoon shelters. The shops that handle homemade beverages did not publicize whether the beverages they brewed contained additive and additive dosages. They asked the clerk to say “not knowing”.

Investigation of the status quo of a number of beverage stores have not publicly added additives Yesterday afternoon, the weather was hot and the beverage shops in the streets of Tianjin were booming. Those waiting to buy beverages had long queued up “long queues”. “What did Yang Zhigan Lu do with it?” At the window of a beverage shop, the reporter saw a 20-year-old girl pointing at a name on the price list to ask the clerk, and got a very vague reply. Later, the reporter visited and found that such inquiries are very common. For the production of more complex cold drinks, the clerk of most cold drinks shops is unclear.

“How can there be no publicity additives in the store?” When the reporter asked a clerk of “The Queen of Mango,” the clerk “stunned” and did not answer. For the same inquiries, a clerk at “Street” stated that they “know nothing” about the need for publicity of additives.

Afterwards, the reporter interviewed more than a dozen citizens at random, and most citizens said that “although we do not know such a provision, we think it is necessary”. “My children like to drink brightly colored beverages. When they look at them, they add a lot of pigments. And I hear that they have added a lot of flavors and spices. It certainly is not healthy,” said one young mother.

In response, the reporter contacted Typhoon Zhengzhou Head Office yesterday and the staff member stated that “the requirements of the local regulatory authorities are different, and the franchisees in Tianjin did not explain the situation to the parent company. Therefore, it was not possible to timely publish the beverage ingredients in accordance with the regulations. There may be some omissions in the work.” The staff said that the drinks and food in the typhoon shelter are in full compliance with national food safety standards and are subject to inspection by the supervisory department at any time.

The department responded that “the streetside beverage shop is not our management”

For a beverage shop near the south floor of the Hexi District, there was no publicity of additives. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter asked the Hexi Health Supervision Office. A staff member said that this issue is not under their control. “We are only responsible for the catering industry, street drink shops, and we should find the Bureau of Industry and Commerce!”

However, the business and industry staff of 12315 made it clear that the self-made beverage store publicity additives do not fall within the scope of industrial and commercial supervision. It is recommended that reporters consult with the Food and Drug Administration. The staff of the Catering Service Supervision Office of the Food and Drug Administration of the City stated that the supervision and management of beverages made by beverage stores is It is the responsibility of the health authority.

The three departments have three voices. Who should supervise this beverage additive publicity?

If relevant laws and regulations are not publicized, they are illegally added. According to the provisions of the National Food and Drug Administration, catering units that make hot pot ingredients, homemade drinks, and home-made sauces should file with the regulatory authorities the name of the food additive used at the end of May and store them at the restaurant. Highlight it or place it on the menu. Even if the additives in the beverage meet the "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives," if the additives used by the catering company's self-made beverages are not publicized according to regulations, they are also illegal additions.

Experts revealed that additives are mainly based on sweetener pigments. "The majority of homemade drinks currently on the market are mainly based on the addition of milk products, and a few beverages require the addition of additives." Yesterday, food experts from the Tianjin Sanitary (Catering Food) Supervision Institute. It is stated that fruit juice beverages, if they do not contain milk or additives, will have less taste and taste. “In addition to milk products, common additives are mainly lemon yellow, sunset yellow, bright blue and other coloring agents, sweeteners and depositors, but can not be added arbitrarily, must be strictly in accordance with the "Food Additives use health standards" implementation "Experts say that additives in the standard range will not cause harm to the human body.

Food experts said that catering companies should publicize the ingredients and additives of homemade drinks in accordance with regulations, so that consumers can clearly understand what they drink.
