Pearl milk tea, sweet and spicy, pink round, slats, chicken platters... These Taiwanese classic foods have recently been plagued by “toxic starch†due to the “toxic starch†turmoil in Taiwan. The food safety in Taiwan is also facing the “plasticization†in 2011. "Chemical agent" the biggest crisis after the incident.
Eat 20 pieces of chicken may be infertile
The “toxic starch†incident was kicked off. From March this year, the investigation station in Chiayi County, Taiwan, received a report that toxic starch containing maleic acid was found in food. With the launch of a thorough investigation by Taiwan, the “toxic starch†incident has snowballed.
Maleic acid, also known as maleic anhydride, is an industrial raw material. Adding starch can increase the elasticity, stickiness and appearance brightness of foods, but it will cause great damage to human kidneys.
Lin Jieliang, director of the Department of Clinical Toxicology at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou, Taiwan, said that there is usually about 200 grams of fried flour on a chicken platter. If there is “poisony starch†in the fried flour, an adult weighing 60 kg, for one year As long as you eat 20 chicken chops, it may cause infertility or affect kidney function.
Some name snacks detect poisonous starch
After inspection, there are no shortage of snacks containing "toxic starch", such as the hundred-year-old shop of Keelung Miaokou Night Market. 11 of the starch products exported to Singapore from Taiwan were also found to contain maleic acid, including well-known Forrest Gump Green Tea, Tainan Shangzhimiao Temple, and Berth's Pearl Powder Circle.
As of the 26th, Taiwan's health bureau sealed up more than 200 tons of starch. Inspectors said that 50 kilograms of maleic acid can modulate 6,000 kilograms of modified starch, which is quite large. I am afraid it has already flown to the downstream night markets and snack stalls.
Taiwanese people like to use “Q†to describe the smoothness of food. The “toxic starch†incident was exposed. People could not help but talk about the “Q†change. Taiwan’s famous snacks also faced a crisis of serious trust. Kaohsiung's famous snacks, the Black Wheel King, have been temporarily closed and closed after being identified as a "poisonous starch" source.
Taiwan's pearl milk tea has an annual output value of more than 100 billion yuan (NT, the same, about 20.3 billion yuan), known as the "Oriental Coca-Cola," and pearl milk tea "pearl" is made of starch. When reporters visited a number of beverage outlets on the streets of Taipei, they were asked to know that because of the “poisonous starch†that made people feel bad, sales of pearl milk tea were greatly affected these days.
The maximum penalty is proposed to be 10 million
In addition to "poisonous starches," Taiwan has recently discovered "toxic soy sauce" and abused expired raw materials, which has served as a wake-up call to food safety.
On the 27th, Taiwan’s Ministry of Health announced that it would adopt the policy of clearing the wall and immediately clear all starch factories in Taiwan within three days to determine the source, direction, and recycling of the problematic starch. From June 1st onwards, all manufacturers or distributors of starchy materials in Taiwan are required to provide safety certificates to downstream manufacturers, and they are clearly posted at stores for inspection by consumers. The offenders have to pay a maximum fine of 150,000 yuan.
In addition, Taiwan’s legislature also intends to review the “Amendment to the “Food Hygiene Management Law,†which aims to increase the maximum fine from RMB 6 million to RMB 10 million for unfragmented workers who use foods that are toxic to human health.
