00:02:27So, 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
00:02:31Once it was Ga'anzheng Tiaowei store in Shinan District
00:02:34and the other was selected Chengde Tiaowei wholesale
00:02:38center in Shibei District. The two businesses received sulfur-smoked star anise and the residual amount of sulfur dioxide
00:02:42did not comply with the national food safety standards.
00:02:45The local market regulatory department has investigated and dealt with the businesses.
00:02:49So, after the rectification, has the star anise sales in the local market been fully standardized
00:02:52and has the sulfur-smoked star anise been completely removed from the market?
00:02:56The reporter went to Qingdao to investigate.
00:03:01In Qingdao Xindazhong Tuandao Agricultural Trade Market, many stores specializing in spices
00:03:05still sell star anise. During the inquiry, the reporter found that, affected by the previous random
00:03:09inspection penalties and rectification requirements, most businesses were aware of the
00:03:13regulations prohibiting the sale of sulfur-smoked star anise.
00:03:17The star anise displayed on the counter was all dark-colored natural
00:03:21star anise. Is this smoked?
00:03:23?
00:03:29We don't sell that anymore.
00:04:30The signboard and storefront have been changed. In response to the reporter's inquiry,
00:04:33the business said that all the star anise sold in the store now is sulfur-free.
00:04:37。
00:04:43As the investigation deepened, the reporter found that sulfur-smoked star anise has not truly
00:04:46disappeared. In the same market, about 20 meters away from the reported
00:04:50store, a store named Jingyan Gan
00:04:54Tiao, the owner introduced that the store sells two
00:04:58kinds of star anise, displayed in the seasoning area.
00:05:12Which one is better?
00:05:24The reporter further found in the market that the hidden sale of sulfur-smoked star
00:05:28anise is not an isolated phenomenon. In another store
00:05:31named Guangfu Yuantiliao, the business also admitted that there was sulfur-smoked
00:05:35star anise for sale. Do you have smoked ones?
00:05:37But once used as a spice on the dining table, it
00:06:24must comply with the national food safety standards and sulfur dioxide
00:06:28should not be used for smoking. The reporter found in further investigation
00:06:32that compared to the market vendors' evasiveness, some
00:06:36traditional Chinese medicine wholesale market operators not only sell sulfur-free
00:06:40star anise .
00:07:43The salesperson introduced that their own sulfur-free star anise for stewing was good,
00:07:50but for dishes with added sulfur.
00:07:55You
00:07:56for example, if I buy vegetables from your house Right
00:08:00Then you definitely want it to be fragrant, you definitely want to have beef, it will be more fragrant
00:08:04Oh
00:08:05Because they really sell hot pot dishes, they must sell well
00:08:08Right, because speaking without taking a bath
00:08:42has the effect of preventing deterioration and prolonging the shelf life. But the reporter learned
00:08:46that the statement that smoked star anise processed with milky food will make the taste
00:08:49more fragrant currently has no scientific research data to prove
00:08:53it. When spice merchants sell smoked star anise, they are evasive.
00:08:57Natural colored products are displayed on the counter, but good-looking
00:09:01smoked star anise is hidden under the counter.
00:09:03。
00:09:48Please 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
00:09:52this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a food
00:09:55random inspection unqualified report, including businesses on some e-commerce platforms.
00:09:59So, after being reported, has the smoked star anise
00:10:03sold by platform stores already complied with food safety standards?
00:10:07The reporter specifically conducted an investigation. On September
00:10:1118th, the market.
00:10:25The sulfur dioxide residual amount of star anise produced by Sanfa Tiaoweipin Co., Ltd.
00:10:29did not comply with the national food safety standards. The reporter
00:10:32found the Jingxi Siying official store and found that the store was still
00:10:36selling star anise normally. The product page claimed "special grade sulfur-free spice
00:10:40braised flavor to remove fishy smell large pieces sulfur-free" and so on. Oh, no
00:10:44way, no way, are you still worried about the fishy smell of stewing meat and soup?
00:10:48Today I bring you a magic weapon, authentic sulfur-free star anise slices. This is authentic
00:10:52sulfur-free spice, which retains the original color and taste of star anise.
00:10:55The promotional video repeatedly emphasized sulfur-free. The page showed sales of 9,000
00:10:59units and a recent good rating of 100%.
00:11:03But some consumers also reported that they threw it away as soon as they received it,
00:11:06because it had a sour and pungent chemical smell. After being reported, how about
00:11:10the situation of this store selling star anise? The reporter
00:11:14ordered this product claiming to be sulfur-free star anise from the store
00:11:18and sent it to the Zhejiang Provincial Institute for Food and Drug Inspection and Research
00:11:22for sulfur dioxide residual amount testing. The test results
00:11:25showed: the sulfur dioxide residual amount of this star anise sample from Jingxi Siying
00:11:29official store was 1991 mg per kilogram. Star anise, as
00:11:33a food spice, is prohibited from using sulfur yellow professional needles,
00:11:37and also from using sulfur dioxide and sulfite food additives.
00:11:40If sulfur dioxide is detected positive, it indicates a high probability of artificial
00:11:44sulfur yellow treatment. The reporter also checked multiple mainstream e-commerce platforms
00:11:48and found that sulfur-free is almost the standard promotional
00:11:52language for star anise products. On Taobao platform,
00:11:57this star anise sold by Caijiayi Qiqi store claims to be naturally sun-dried, clean and impurity-free, and has sold 100,000
00:12:01units nationwide. The customer service said that it is fine for
00:12:05family use for stewing meat. Is the widespread sulfur-free
00:12:09claim for star anise spices true? The reporter randomly purchased six
00:12:12allegedly sulfur-free star anise products from different e-commerce platforms
00:12:16and sent them to the Zhejiang Provincial Institute for Food and Drug Inspection and Research.
00:12:20The testing personnel followed the national mandatory standard for the determination
00:12:24of sulfur dioxide in food,
00:12:255009.342022.
00:12:29First, 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,
00:12:42and 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。
00:12:48The results showed that sulfur dioxide was detected in two of the six samples,
00:12:53among which Bao
00:13:55the effect will be reduced, and its effective substances will decrease
00:13:58by 2.5 times. So if used as a medicine, the
00:14:02clinical efficacy will be reduced. As food, its aroma will certainly
00:14:05not be as good as the spices we used to make. In our food and drug
00:14:09administration, it is clearly stipulated that among all spices,
00:14:13only star anise can use sulfur yellow,
00:14:17others are prohibited. In addition to damaging the quality
00:14:21of star anise itself, sulfur dioxide will be transformed after entering the human body.
00:14:55So, we say that sulfur is not only not limited to
00:14:59star anise, many, many things are for making it white and good-looking.
00:15:02After using sulfur yellow, it will cause these adverse
00:15:06effects. Experts especially remind that compared to acute
00:15:10irritation from single contact, long-term repeated intake of food with excessive
00:15:14sulfur dioxide will cause sulfites to gradually accumulate in the body, bringing
00:15:17more hidden and more serious chronic health risks.
00:15:21。
00:15:47In recent years, the State Administration for Market Regulation has successively issued 21 reports
00:15:51on unqualified food random inspections. The results show that
00:15:54the problem of excessive sulfur dioxide in star anise has been frequently detected,
00:15:58with a total of 19 reports involving such unqualified star
00:16:02anise samples, totaling 32 batches. The randomly
00:16:06inspected samples came from offline.
00:16:37Seriously sulfur-smoked star anise often has an irritating smell, and
00:16:41if you take a light bite, it will have a slightly sour taste. You should be careful
00:16:45when buying such products. The problem of sulfur-smoked star anise
00:16:49is endless. It reflects not only the pursuit of profit by businesses to improve
00:16:53appearance and extend shelf life, but also the inadequate control of production and processing
00:16:57areas, the blind spots in offline circulation, and the lack of strict control
00:17:00by online platforms and many other regulatory shortcomings. Here, we also remind
00:17:04consumers to pay attention when buying star anise and other spices. Do not
00:17:08blindly pursue products with bright white color and fresh appearance.
00:17:11Natural color and pure taste are more reliable. Try to choose
00:17:15regular supermarkets and compliant stores to buy, and keep
00:17:19the shopping receipt. If you find that the product has an abnormal
00:17:23sour taste or sulfur problem, you can call 12315 to complain
00:17:26and report to the market regulatory department. China Daily
00:17:30News, for the strivers.
