Food safety crisis attracts attention
The "Fast Chicken" incident once again provoked the nerves of consumers. CCTV News exposed news that white-feather chicken farmers in Shandong and other places illegally used a variety of antibiotics and banned hormone drugs to promote Changbai chicken. What is even more disturbing to the public is that many well-known domestic poultry products suppliers are involved in the storm.
"Food is food to safety first". Human production and life are inseparable from food, and the safety of food affects human health and even life.
It is imperative to improve food safety.
Is the food we eat every day really safe? Some time ago, "Stunned! A peasant woman told me that eating pork equals suicide" post once again sparked hot discussion on the Internet, "steamed oil" from the sewers, brand-name ham with "dichlorvos", "industrial salt" marinated Pickles, "poisonous peanut oil" extracted with "light gasoline" as solvent, artificial pigments are invading how many children's bodies. Some media lamented that "China is so big that it can't accommodate a table."
Therefore, it is imperative to improve food safety. The formal implementation of the Food Safety Law demonstrates the determination of the party and the state to safeguard the food safety of the people.
Feed additive safety red light
The aquaculture industry is closely related to food safety, and food safety crises related to aquaculture are endless. For example, "Sudan Red" duck eggs, "melamine" milk powder, "bodybuilding pigs" and so on.
Antibiotics can promote animal growth and inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Driven by the pursuit of maximum economic benefits, many people disregard social responsibility and add antibiotics at random or in excess. The problem of abuse of antibiotics is quite serious in the aquaculture industry. In 2010, India, Pakistan, Canada, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Japan reported the emergence of superbug infections and caused many deaths. This super bacteria, which can resist all antibiotics, may be used in large quantities in modern farming. It is related to the abuse of antibiotics that cause them to be extremely resistant. Super bacteria does not exist in China!
Clenbuterol is a kind of β-adrenergic receptor agonist, which can promote animal growth, promote lean meat deposition, inhibit fat deposition, increase carcass lean rate and improve feed utilization in a short period of time. However, eating meat containing "clenbuterol" can cause harm to the human body. Common symptoms include nausea, dizziness, weakness of the limbs, and hand tremors, especially for patients with heart disease and hypertension. Long-term consumption may lead to chromosomal aberrations, which may induce malignant tumors. However, the "Clenbuterol" incident still occurred one after another.
The addition of high-dose trace elements increases the deposition of trace elements in animal tissues and organs and also causes environmental pollution. Pigs fed high-copper diets had severe levels of copper in their livers. If people consume such high-copper animal products for a long time, it will cause copper to deposit in the internal organs, increase the level of free radicals in the body, change lipid metabolism, lead to atherosclerosis and accelerate cell aging and death, endangering human health. Many low-quality trace element additives have the problem of exceeding heavy metals, posing a hidden danger to food safety.
The abuse of hormonal feed additives in animal farming is obvious to people, especially children.
Arsenic preparations are widely used in feed additives, which can promote animal growth and improve animal hair color. Currently widely used are arsenic acid and Roxa arsenic. However, arsenic preparations are highly toxic and can damage the structure and function of chromosomes, leading to mutations in various genes. The absorption rate of arsenic in animals is only 5%. The large use of arsenic preparations will cause a large amount of arsenic to be discharged into the environment, posing a threat to humans.
In order to protect human health and ensure sustainable development, we must fundamentally solve the food safety crisis and must start from feed and from feed additives. Since ancient times, traditional Chinese medicine has the theory of "medicine and food homology". It is safe and reliable to find and develop feed additives from the "medicine and food homologous" plants.
Chinese herbal extracts have become a research hotspot for alternative antibiotics. The pharmaceutical industry has used Chinese herbal extracts such as Radix Isatidis and Houttuynia cordata to replace various antibiotics to treat various inflammations, and developed many proprietary Chinese medicines with significant effects and few side effects. In the field of feed additives, a variety of Chinese herbal extract products have been successfully developed, such as the perilla seed extract feed additive developed by Chongqing Yousheng Technology Development Co., Ltd., which promotes animal growth, improves feed utilization, and enhances animal disease resistance. It has played a huge role in improving the quality of meat products, and is non-toxic, harmless and has no harmful residues.
Therefore, the development of "medicine and food homologous" plant extract feed additives, improve product safety, improve food safety, is the trend of the times, the benefit of the country and the people.
Food additives are compounds or natural substances added to food for the purpose of improving the color, aroma, and taste of food, as well as for the needs of anti-corrosion and processing technology. At present, there are 23 categories of food additives, with more than 2,000 varieties, including acidity regulators, anticaking agents, defoamers, antioxidants, bleaching agents, leavening agents, coloring agents, color retention agents, enzyme preparations, and flavor enhancers, nutritional fortifiers, preservatives, Sweeteners, thickeners, spices, etc.
