Beijing suspended the sale of 9 unqualified foods such as mung bean cakes, and Jiuwei won the black list.

According to the information released by the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce on this week, the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce discovered nine unqualified samples of beef ribs, mung bean cakes and bean platters in the recent food sampling inspection and decided to stop selling the nine kinds of food.

According to reports, five of the food products involved in this issue were unsatisfactory for the detection of sweeteners and synthetic food dyes in food additives. There are three types of sweeteners involved in the detection of unsatisfactory sweeteners: sodium saccharin, sodium cyclamate, and acesulfame-methyl; and three varieties of unsatisfactory edible synthetic pigments are lemon yellow, sunset yellow, and carmine red. According to the national food safety related standards, the above inspection items are only allowed to be used in limited quantities in some food varieties, and they cannot be detected in meat and its products.

In addition, four other foods have exceeded the total number of colonies.

The reporter noticed that just last week there were 3 batches of “Qiu Wei” foods that were taken off the shelves and this week they were even on the black list. This food was nominally produced at Jiuwang Food Factory in Huangcheng Town, Wangcheng County, Hunan Province. The reason for the disqualification was that the sodium saccharin and cyclamate exceeded the standard.
