Consumers are absent from the decision of going or stay of brightening agent of flour The complicated interests entanglement gets into the dispute
The battle that brightening agent of flour went or stay, has reflected the complicated interests entanglement; And want the masses of consumers of the edible flour every day, it is absentees of the decision all the time. Dai Lian, probational reporter of our publication,
gentle to plant the scientific name to shout " Cross and oxidize benzene formyl " Material,have efficiency of brightening more flour its,last wheat powder national standard additives legal, lasted more than 20 years already. Hereafter, it is said that the worry of the potential risk existed to the health out of this material, and to the doing in the test amount of trade development, the grain system has called upon all the time to cancel this standard in the past ten years, but the unexpected resistance of experience. Finish, solicit opinion in " national standard food additive of food security uses the standard " in September 12, commonly called as people " Brightening agent of flour " If you can't cross, oxidize by benzene formyl and if you can't cross, last calcium, list by flour in for lasting pharmaceuticalling still. This news initiates the dispute of the public opinion after the media reveals, " forbid brightening agent of flour " Voice again go up. But, the member of the CPPCC National Committee Feng Ping reveals on September 15, as far back as July of this year, the office of Ministry of Public Health is " about proposing issuing the new wheat powder national standard as soon as possible again " to it Motion make, answer, say national the intersection of food additive and standards committee examine, agree, cancel oxidize benzene formyl already already. But when on earth this standard will cancel, Ministry of Public Health has not provided the clear answer; The reporter inquires whether Ministry of Public Health has already started and cancelled the demonstration which has oxidized benzene formyl, have not been also answered clearly. Although like this, Feng Ping says to the reporter, the statement of Ministry of Public Health has already been a great progress at present. Will not feel very reasonable to spread one tin: In " brightening agent of flour " On the question of going or stay, had during the last ten years appealing for " mainly abolish and send " that is cancelled all the time ,In fact bear " Abuse brightening agent " Grain manufacturing enterprises and national grains bureaus of the bad name; " mainly store and send " But Ministry of Public Health responsible for food safety matters. Before this, Feng Ping once submitted motions many times for this. In 2008, State Bureau of Quality Testing will reply to claim to it, have already organized the department of sanitary control of Ministry of Public Health and national standard mass centre of grains bureau to hold the coordination committee again, "but not reached the unified opinion. After the meeting, Ministry of Public Health still holds different opinions in the letter on August 13. " The above-mentioned dispute is not simple " Science " Its battle. As far as reporter know, the stores and abolishes and is accused of representing different commercial interestsing of brightening agent. The decision bases of the disputants, besides the public health risk, also include the factors such as production cost, trade barrier, different trade interests etc.. And want the masses of consumers of the edible flour every day, it is absentees of the decision all the time. Why use brightening agent? 1986 is over oxidized benzene formyl to enter powder national standard of wheat as legal additive, had 24 years so far. In the eighties of last century, Wang RuiYuan of incumbent former grain and oil industrial office chief, Deputy Chairman of employer's organization of incumbent Chinese grain of Ministry of Commerce was while investigating in Britain, find it is prominent that the flour of Britain brightens the result after adding this material. Under the circumstances that it promotes, Ministry of Commerce allows to add and oxidize benzene formyl in the wheat powder standard issued newly. Meanwhile, Ministry of Public Health will cross and oxidize benzene formyl to list in " food additive uses the sanitary standard " too. Hereafter, according to " Standardization Act " issued in 1988, the wheat powder standard was made by the national grains bureau, food additive standard is made by Ministry of Public Health, the two are national standards, managed in unison by the national standardized board of trustee. In fact, because of increasing the production cost, some manufacturers are unwilling to add brightening agent of flour. One has served as the sales manager's personage to reveal to the reporter in flour enterprises, on one hand, cross and oxidize the formyl price of benzene and is far higher than the flour; On the other hand, in order to accord with the standard, " cross and oxidize benzene formyl " that should make in the flour Control in 60 milligrams per kilogram, need technological content very much, will " exceed standard once being not careful, exceeding standard must be fined " . The problem is, " others all use, sell well " ,So many enterprises are quite a bit helpless for adding brightening agent. However, it is not that all flour mills are unwilling to use " cross and oxidize benzene formyl " . In case of not using brightening agent, the color of the flour relates to precision, the higher the precision is, the whiter the flour is. Because " cross and oxidize benzene formyl " Can make the flour white, it is convenient for some flour mills to pretend to be the flour lower in precision as the flour of higher precision with brightening agent, and call it " Powder rate happens to raise the flour " . Some opposition persons still come from quality testing and administration for industry and commerce. The above-mentioned grain system authority tells reporters, the national grains bureau often hears the quality surveillance and complaint of industrial and commercial administrative department at the basic level, think it is subject problem the most found in spot check of quality of the powder of wheat that brightening agent exceeds standard. And manufacturing enterprise uses the flour " White one hang " Wait for illegal additive to brighten the flour. Therefore, " exceed standard and add to brightening agent illegally, since supervise strength currently limitedly, it is unable to stop, not so good as all forbidding brightening agent of flour " Sound follow. However, this demand is opposed by Ministry of Health. Object to the representative figure that forbids brightening agent, it is Chen JunShi, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering. He has taken the post as the Deputy Director of Ins of Nutrition Food Hygiene of China Preventive Medicial Science Inst, food director, standards committee General Board, international food additive code committee's president of food additive of professional committee of sanitary standard of Ministry of Public Health. Chen JunShi adheres to a view all the time, " food additive is the soul of the food industry " . " in order to let consumers have Doreen's thinkling sound in this way and meet the eye on every side, accord with many kinds of people's flavor, shelve one to lengthen that he says to the reporter, the food that and the price can accept, must use food additive " . For many years, for cancel the intersection of flour and voice of brightening agent, JunShi Chen claim, " use brightening agent of flour there is no safe problem within the range of national standard firmly. " The dispute of giving tit for tat is fierce day by day as time goes on. Since 2000, once tried hard to recommend Wang RuiYuan of brightening agent, beginning will call upon enterprises to forbid brightening agent of flour with the grain trade meeting in various grain and oil industry. Make king's auspicious attitude of yuan produce 180 degrees to change, according to its explanation, except up to the flour " Whiter and whiter " And the strong sense of insecurity that comes, the most key factor is, he finds that has already begun to eliminate brightening agent of flour progressively in the world. Wang RuiYuan finds while investigating in Norway the locality has already forbidden brightening agent of flour, found and no longer used inside the whole of European Union again hereafter. Wang RuiYuan's appeal has caused the response of the large-scale flour processing enterprise. The leading enterprises of national flour successively jointly wrote to the responsible institution of higher level four times, demand to prohibit using and oxidizing benzene formyl. Soon, the national grains bureau has stood to and " mainly abolished and sent " formally This Side. In 2006, the national grains bureau was in draft of " powder national standard of the wheat " that it was drafted, ? The evil spirit slanders the toothed oak of �� suburb of ��'s mould ��'s wholesale of Ke's soft-shelled turtle: Protruding ��, wholesale of ��, it rejects streets to be only mist accurate �� s of �ѧ� �� looks come pack Does protruding � smelt Yao Ji �� Fei Zhai �� the curtain? " mainly abolish and send " Put forward a plurality of reasons and query the security question of oxidizing benzene formyl. "It is strong oxide to cross and oxidize benzene formyl, it will destroy xanthophyll, carrotene in the wheat; Have something to do, study, it indicates their to be can be carcinogenic still; It proves will cause the liver to bear to cross residue benzoic acid which oxidizes benzene formyl. " The aforesaid grain system authority says to the reporter. The reporter consults the relevant literature is found, 2002, OECD (OECD) Also provided one for crossing and oxidizing the monitoring data of benzene formyl. The result reveals, crossing may produce and endanger the human body as follows to oxidize benzene formyl: Cause and stimulate reacting, lightening the testis weight, reducing the weight, promoting the skin tumour activity etc.. However, China stipulates the maximum consumption of brightening agent of flour is 0.06 grams for per kilogram of flour. In all previous dispute, " mainly store and send " Often invoke Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to unite Committee of Experts (JECFA) with affiliated food additive of World Health Organization Standard,correctly brightening agent " talk about unsafely " Refute. JECFA is to passing the appraisal which oxidizes benzene formyl: Cross, oxidize the intersection of benzene and formyl allow handling capacity to be 0mg/kg-40mg/kg (40mg/kg-75mg/kg under special terms) with the intersection of wheat and powder in people ,Namely " estimated value that take in a kind of food additive and not prominent and allow the intaking amount every day when endanger healthily in all one's life according to the human weight " . For example, an adult whose weight is 50 kilograms, eat the quantity of oxidizing benzene formyl to limit to 2 grams every day in all one's life, would not produce prominent danger to the health. A meeting communication that the reporter obtains reveals, " annual meeting of 29th time of standardized technical committee of national food additive " held in December of 2007 Have, prohibit using the proposition of oxidizing benzene formyl and is rejected in the flour, the reason is to " it is insufficient to forbid the scientific basis of this additive " . Because Ministry of Public Health refuses to forbid brightening agent of flour in " food additive uses the standard " all the time, draft of " powder national standard of the wheat " that the national grains bureau makes is unable to pass. So far, it is still the old standard revised to guide the legal standard for producing enterprise of flour in 1986. "Can't fight in two national standards, if the standard of Ministry of Public Health is not changed for one day, the new standard of the national grains bureau can't be passed for one day. " The aforesaid grain system authority says to the reporter. Because the appeal of the national grains bureau and the responses of large-scale flour enterprises, the inner wrapping flour in the retail markets mostly no longer increase brightening agent of flour at present, "but the problem is, this very small part which takes the total sales volume of flour, a large number of flour flows into the dining room, restaurant, food processing enterprise, those flour has mostly still added and oxidized benzene formyl. " The aforesaid grain system authority says. In the dimly visible dispute of interest group, both sides are criticized for influencing by some interest groups. " mainly prohibit sending " Thought to represent the interests of large-scale flour enterprises, intend to push small-scale flour enterprises. It's time, criticize irrational, to exceed standard, violate legal provisions, use, take place in small-scale flour mill more even brightening agent. Familiar with after brighten, cross, oxidize the intersection of benzene and formyl, still can accelerate flour " " . The wheat powder viscidity rubed newly is great, lacking flexibility and toughness is difficult to use and cook the millet cake, used for, produce steamed bun and bread food will present color of the leather to be dark getting up piece, easy to collapse, shrink, and organize the irregularity. But after preservation of some time, the above-mentioned shortcoming can be improved. This kind of phenomenon was called powder of wheat " And then familiar with " . Natural the intersection of wheat and back familiar time that powder need, generally for get all around three week, add oxidize the intersection of benzene and formyl, can make the intersection of wheat and powder can familiar with finish, within a few days in the intersection of wheat and powder. So, as to small-scale flour enterprise, can save the storage area and investment in fixed assets for it while passing and oxidizing benzene formyl, reduce the circulating fund that enterprises need. Another criticism appearing recently is: " mainly prohibit sending " Attitude last flour to last apparatus the influences of the producers. Because cross and oxidize bleaching function of benzene formyl, make flour enterprises adopt the home equipment to get the result of importing the flour abroad and processing the apparatus, so " some foreign flour processing equipment traders are harvesting the safe shop sign of public diet of caring, reach the monopoly of processing the apparatus to the Chinese flour by prohibiting being been used and oxidized benzene formyl " . " mainly store and send " Accused of having illict sexual relations with manufacturing enterprise of brightening agent. The above-mentioned grain system authority thinks, the reason why Ministry of Public Health behaves on the essential problem of the rice fast, have very great relations with the current situation for producing enterprise of brightening agent. Because crossing can only be used in the flour to brighten to oxidize benzene formyl, once cancel brightening agent of flour, the destiny for producing enterprise of brightening agent only stops production, changes the line of production. So, in the dispute during the last ten years, flour brightening agent enterprises spared no effort to prevent brightening agent of flour from being cancelled through various either overt or covert ways. It is reported, these enterprises run, Ministry of Public Health, State Bureau of Quality Testing complaining to General Office of the State Council, national letters and visits from the masses many times, the spearhead points to the national grains bureau " Do not understand science " ,Even express it to the resistance forbidding brightening agent in the way that the staff sit quietly. Associate professor of Nankai University law school Song HuaLin says to the reporter, entanglement of these interests is " the common phenomenon in the standard formulation process " . Song HuaLin is in his theme is " Standardization is studied " Thesis for the Doctorate in once write: "Today, enterprises often hope to get involved in the formulation process of the technical standard for the substance. Because who leading the intersection of standard formulation and right, ' hold standard under the arm in order to make duke under an emperor ', try hard to let the standard in step with one's own level of production and condition, thus form the technological barrier to the rival, in order to obtain large market interests. " Who does additive go or stay to decide? Except forbid and is lack of evidence, Ministry of Public Health objects to the reason to forbid brightening agent of flour, also include influencing the foreign trade of the flour. At present, American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Not allowing in the flour, limit has been added to oxidize benzene formyl. Do not add and oxidize benzene formyl in the flour sold inside European Union, add only in exporting the flour. The related departments of Ministry of Public Health refer to the above-mentioned reason while exchanging with the member of the CPPCC National Committee Feng Ping in August of this year too. "The person of Ministry of Public Health says, prohibits using and oxidizing the exit where benzene formyl will influence the flour. " Feng Ping says to the reporter. But the intersection of Tsing-Hua University and the intersection of hygiene and the intersection of law and the intersection of research center and director, law, hygiene of China, learn Deputy Chairman originally right ChenGuang Wang The publication reporter says, this reason is not convincing: "Domestic market, need to be responsible for Chinese ordinary people at first. " But in any case, in the battle using the standard and going or stay of additive, Chinese consumers do not have substantive words right. ? Let out �� and claim to slander and press and smooth pupas to hold back �� bottom and fall from the sky or outer space freshly blue? 0 times develop fast, has already sanctioned using 2500 multi-type of food additive by 2009, the annual output exceeds 60 billion yuan. Meanwhile, the public health event of abusing additive and even using additive to initiate illegally is exposed again and again, a wave of folk voice supervised to the food security question including additive more strictly exceeds a wave. With this concord, " food safety law " will be issued and implemented in 2009. " food safety law " stipulates: "Food additive should be really necessary technically and passes the evaluation certificate of the risk it is safe and reliable, Fang KeLie enters the range allowed to use. The health authorities of the State Council should follow technological necessity and food security risk assessment result, revise the variety of food additive, the standards of the scope of application, consumption in time. " Song HuaLin thinks, means implying, the use of food additive is " generally forbidden in these two regulations, only accord with the permission of the condition " ; Use food additive to have two conditions, " one is really necessary, it is safe and reliable for another one to pass the evaluation certificate of the risk " ; In addition, the standard already made should also be according to using the result to adjust in time. In his view, that kind " have evidence prove flour brightening agent store safe problem in, so can't forbid " View contrary to "food safety law ". Relate to this, after " food safety law " is issued, " mainly prohibit sending " Main view already from " Brightening agent of flour is unsafe " It is " unnecessary " to transfer to . According to aforesaid grain system authority, once there is systematic leadership of grain that patted the desk to query: "Have left brightening agent, can't steam into a steamed bun, can't roll into noodles, can't bake into a pancake or can't fry into deep-fried twisted dough sticks? " September 15 this year, a group of special " consumers " One lawyer's office in the northwestern part has held spontaneously in Beijing " Food additive standard formulation and public policy " Forum. Participant include many of the intersection of research and food, nutrition and expert of law, they require until policy make sending out one's own sounding; Object to a few expert and the intersection of department and monopoly in standard formulation, participating in the conference persons of expert mention much too. In their view, start a set of timers, avoid the commercial interest with " science " Name public without being corroded for interests,this essential for food additive standard formulation. After all, as to the public, in expanding the market of additive of share constantly, how many will be existed and presented" Cross and oxidize benzene formyl " ,It is a question that must be considered. It also has contribution that the Tang, cub reporter of our publication baby is gentle with this
