[00:02:27] So, is it really true? Let's check the reporter's investigation. In August and September of this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued food抽减 (random inspection) unqualified reports. Both explicitly mentioned
[00:02:31] Once it was Ga'anzheng Tiaowei store in Shinan District
[00:02:34] and the other was selected Chengde Tiaowei wholesale
[00:02:38] center in Shibei District. The two businesses received sulfur-smoked star anise and the residual amount of sulfur dioxide
[00:02:42] did not comply with the national food safety standards.
[00:02:45] The local market regulatory department has investigated and dealt with the businesses.
[00:02:49] So, after the rectification, has the star anise sales in the local market been fully standardized
[00:02:52] and has the sulfur-smoked star anise been completely removed from the market?
[00:02:56] The reporter went to Qingdao to investigate.
[00:03:01] In Qingdao Xindazhong Tuandao Agricultural Trade Market, many stores specializing in spices
[00:03:05] still sell star anise. During the inquiry, the reporter found that, affected by the previous random
[00:03:09] inspection penalties and rectification requirements, most businesses were aware of the
[00:03:13] regulations prohibiting the sale of sulfur-smoked star anise.
[00:03:17] The star anise displayed on the counter was all dark-colored natural
[00:03:21] star anise. Is this smoked?
[00:03:23] ?
[00:03:29] We don't sell that anymore.
[00:04:30] The signboard and storefront have been changed. In response to the reporter's inquiry,
[00:04:33] the business said that all the star anise sold in the store now is sulfur-free.
[00:04:37] 。
[00:04:43] As the investigation deepened, the reporter found that sulfur-smoked star anise has not truly
[00:04:46] disappeared. In the same market, about 20 meters away from the reported
[00:04:50] store, a store named Jingyan Gan
[00:04:54] Tiao, the owner introduced that the store sells two
[00:04:58] kinds of star anise, displayed in the seasoning area.
[00:05:12] Which one is better?
[00:05:24] The reporter further found in the market that the hidden sale of sulfur-smoked star
[00:05:28] anise is not an isolated phenomenon. In another store
[00:05:31] named Guangfu Yuantiliao, the business also admitted that there was sulfur-smoked
[00:05:35] star anise for sale. Do you have smoked ones?
[00:05:37] But once used as a spice on the dining table, it
[00:06:24] must comply with the national food safety standards and sulfur dioxide
[00:06:28] should not be used for smoking. The reporter found in further investigation
[00:06:32] that compared to the market vendors' evasiveness, some
[00:06:36] traditional Chinese medicine wholesale market operators not only sell sulfur-free
[00:06:40] star anise .
[00:07:43] The salesperson introduced that their own sulfur-free star anise for stewing was good,
[00:07:50] but for dishes with added sulfur.
[00:07:55] You
[00:07:56] for example, if I buy vegetables from your house Right
[00:08:00] Then you definitely want it to be fragrant, you definitely want to have beef, it will be more fragrant
[00:08:04] Oh
[00:08:05] Because they really sell hot pot dishes, they must sell well
[00:08:08] Right, because speaking without taking a bath
[00:08:42] has the effect of preventing deterioration and prolonging the shelf life. But the reporter learned
[00:08:46] that the statement that smoked star anise processed with milky food will make the taste
[00:08:49] more fragrant currently has no scientific research data to prove
[00:08:53] it. When spice merchants sell smoked star anise, they are evasive.
[00:08:57] Natural colored products are displayed on the counter, but good-looking
[00:09:01] smoked star anise is hidden under the counter.
[00:09:03] 。
[00:09:48] Please watch. There are still sulfur-smoked star anise for sale in the current food wholesale market. The situation of e-commerce platforms also deserves attention. In September
[00:09:52] this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a food
[00:09:55] random inspection unqualified report, including businesses on some e-commerce platforms.
[00:09:59] So, after being reported, has the smoked star anise
[00:10:03] sold by platform stores already complied with food safety standards?
[00:10:07] The reporter specifically conducted an investigation. On September
[00:10:11] 18th, the market.
[00:10:25] The sulfur dioxide residual amount of star anise produced by Sanfa Tiaoweipin Co., Ltd.
[00:10:29] did not comply with the national food safety standards. The reporter
[00:10:32] found the Jingxi Siying official store and found that the store was still
[00:10:36] selling star anise normally. The product page claimed "special grade sulfur-free spice
[00:10:40] braised flavor to remove fishy smell large pieces sulfur-free" and so on. Oh, no
[00:10:44] way, no way, are you still worried about the fishy smell of stewing meat and soup?
[00:10:48] Today I bring you a magic weapon, authentic sulfur-free star anise slices. This is authentic
[00:10:52] sulfur-free spice, which retains the original color and taste of star anise.
[00:10:55] The promotional video repeatedly emphasized sulfur-free. The page showed sales of 9,000
[00:10:59] units and a recent good rating of 100%.
[00:11:03] But some consumers also reported that they threw it away as soon as they received it,
[00:11:06] because it had a sour and pungent chemical smell. After being reported, how about
[00:11:10] the situation of this store selling star anise? The reporter
[00:11:14] ordered this product claiming to be sulfur-free star anise from the store
[00:11:18] and sent it to the Zhejiang Provincial Institute for Food and Drug Inspection and Research
[00:11:22] for sulfur dioxide residual amount testing. The test results
[00:11:25] showed: the sulfur dioxide residual amount of this star anise sample from Jingxi Siying
[00:11:29] official store was 1991 mg per kilogram. Star anise, as
[00:11:33] a food spice, is prohibited from using sulfur yellow professional needles,
[00:11:37] and also from using sulfur dioxide and sulfite food additives.
[00:11:40] If sulfur dioxide is detected positive, it indicates a high probability of artificial
[00:11:44] sulfur yellow treatment. The reporter also checked multiple mainstream e-commerce platforms
[00:11:48] and found that sulfur-free is almost the standard promotional
[00:11:52] language for star anise products. On Taobao platform,
[00:11:57] this star anise sold by Caijiayi Qiqi store claims to be naturally sun-dried, clean and impurity-free, and has sold 100,000
[00:12:01] units nationwide. The customer service said that it is fine for
[00:12:05] family use for stewing meat. Is the widespread sulfur-free
[00:12:09] claim for star anise spices true? The reporter randomly purchased six
[00:12:12] allegedly sulfur-free star anise products from different e-commerce platforms
[00:12:16] and sent them to the Zhejiang Provincial Institute for Food and Drug Inspection and Research.
[00:12:20] The testing personnel followed the national mandatory standard for the determination
[00:12:24] of sulfur dioxide in food,
[00:12:25] 5009.342022.
[00:12:29] First, the sample is placed in a distillation flask, then acid is added, and under the protection of nitrogen, the sulfur dioxide is distilled out, and then converted to acid with a pot,
[00:12:42] and finally the content of acid and iodide is measured with a titrator, so as to calculate the residual amount of sulfur dioxide.
[00:12:48] 。
[00:12:48] The results showed that sulfur dioxide was detected in two of the six samples,
[00:12:53] among which Bao
[00:13:55] the effect will be reduced, and its effective substances will decrease
[00:13:58] by 2.5 times. So if used as a medicine, the
[00:14:02] clinical efficacy will be reduced. As food, its aroma will certainly
[00:14:05] not be as good as the spices we used to make. In our food and drug
[00:14:09] administration, it is clearly stipulated that among all spices,
[00:14:13] only star anise can use sulfur yellow,
[00:14:17] others are prohibited. In addition to damaging the quality
[00:14:21] of star anise itself, sulfur dioxide will be transformed after entering the human body.
[00:14:55] So, we say that sulfur is not only not limited to
[00:14:59] star anise, many, many things are for making it white and good-looking.
[00:15:02] After using sulfur yellow, it will cause these adverse
[00:15:06] effects. Experts especially remind that compared to acute
[00:15:10] irritation from single contact, long-term repeated intake of food with excessive
[00:15:14] sulfur dioxide will cause sulfites to gradually accumulate in the body, bringing
[00:15:17] more hidden and more serious chronic health risks.
[00:15:21] 。
[00:15:47] In recent years, the State Administration for Market Regulation has successively issued 21 reports
[00:15:51] on unqualified food random inspections. The results show that
[00:15:54] the problem of excessive sulfur dioxide in star anise has been frequently detected,
[00:15:58] with a total of 19 reports involving such unqualified star
[00:16:02] anise samples, totaling 32 batches. The randomly
[00:16:06] inspected samples came from offline.
[00:16:37] Seriously sulfur-smoked star anise often has an irritating smell, and
[00:16:41] if you take a light bite, it will have a slightly sour taste. You should be careful
[00:16:45] when buying such products. The problem of sulfur-smoked star anise
[00:16:49] is endless. It reflects not only the pursuit of profit by businesses to improve
[00:16:53] appearance and extend shelf life, but also the inadequate control of production and processing
[00:16:57] areas, the blind spots in offline circulation, and the lack of strict control
[00:17:00] by online platforms and many other regulatory shortcomings. Here, we also remind
[00:17:04] consumers to pay attention when buying star anise and other spices. Do not
[00:17:08] blindly pursue products with bright white color and fresh appearance.
[00:17:11] Natural color and pure taste are more reliable. Try to choose
[00:17:15] regular supermarkets and compliant stores to buy, and keep
[00:17:19] the shopping receipt. If you find that the product has an abnormal
[00:17:23] sour taste or sulfur problem, you can call 12315 to complain
[00:17:26] and report to the market regulatory department. China Daily
[00:17:30] News, for the strivers.
[00:17:32] 。
[00:17:36] Peach is strong.
[00:18:00] Next, let's look at a set of news. Various full-discount pre-sale live broadcast activities are densely launched. Today, the China Consumers Association,
[00:18:04] the China Market Supervision and Management Society, and the China
[00:18:08] Commodity Barcode Center jointly issued consumer tips.
[00:18:12] Beware of price tricks, do not judge discounts by the discount
[00:18:16] degree on the page. Second, clearly understand the nature of the deposit, be cautious
[00:18:20] about pre-sale locking. Third, break down
[00:18:23] the coupon maze, and do not be led by complex rules. Fourth,
[00:18:27] distinguish between live broadcast and testing, and do not be misled by
[00:18:30] false information. Fifth, stay away from private drainage,
