Brand liquor can be blended? Food additive market expects more standard

If you put a certain brand of white wine flavor into a bottle of rice wine, stir a little, rice wine instantly became a highly white wine, and is "brand-name highly white wine," and this food additive has become an accomplice. While food additives have changed our lives, we have also allowed unscrupulous merchants to obtain certain business opportunities. The huge energy of a "flavor" is near the No. 2 gate of the cargo yard of Zhonghua Road Railway Station in Nanning City. There are many shops selling food additives.

On August 27th, the reporter went to investigate here and found that there are as many varieties of food additives sold in various stores as there are hundreds of kinds of food additives. Any food involved can be improved with food additives.

Some food additives are marked with manufacturers, some are not, and there are no contact telephones.

On the counters of the two stores, the "white wine essence" and "beer flavor" are particularly eye-catching and originated in Guangdong. The owner of the store said that when rice wine is brewed, some "white wine essence" will be added to reconcile it to reach the taste of aging and sauce. Now that science and technology have progressed, what kind of beer can be "blended"...

In a shop, a clerk takes out a small bottle of “sesame oil essence” to let a customer smell the fragrance. The customer said that the flavor odor is sesame oil, but the taste is a bit strong. The clerk on the spot taught how to blend "sesame oil" method, "Just put a few drops of sesame oil flavor into the general edible oil, you can blend a large bottle of sesame oil."

In the end, the woman did not purchase the products recommended by the clerk. Instead, she purchased the “Farmland Chicken Essential Oil”. She told the reporter that she had opened a home-style restaurant and heard from her friends that there was a kind of fragrant material that could make the feed chicken become as tasty as a chicken. She bought it.

Brand liquor can be blended?

On Jiefang Road, there are many shops selling chemical raw materials. Some stores secretly sell "flavors" for various famous brands of liquor.

On the morning of August 28, in a store, the reporter saw the owner sell a bottle of “flavor” 0.5 kg. In a closer look, the outer packaging of the bottle reads "Maotai type deodorant", which is produced in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province. This "deodorant" is not placed on the counter. As long as someone wants it, the boss will leave the store and take it out of the warehouse.

Soon, some people came to ask for Maoxiang and Wuxiang. The shopkeeper asks the customer to wait for a while and then goes to the warehouse to pick up the goods. It turns out that the so-called "Maoxiang" and "Five Spices" are flavors similar to Maotai and Wuliangye. Each "flavor" (one kilogram) is priced at 80 yuan. The shop owner said that they would provide any liquor flavor. As long as this flavor is added to white wine, the taste and texture of the flavor can be similar to genuine brand liquor.

When chatting with a customer, the owner said something that shocked the audience: “Any wine is blended. Before, someone even put dichlorvos into rice wine to achieve a certain degree of purity and flavor. In the early years, there was media coverage. This kind of thing, if you let me drink some liquor, I will not drink if I die!"

When the customer turned to go, he asked the boss how to blend "Maotai." The proprietress said that you would follow the instruction manual. See no text on the packaging, she said to the customer: "You are just like cooking, put enough salt and flavor, slowly taste, you can call out the kind of taste."

Poor meat can also become good?

In the trading floor and the Awaji market, wholesale stalls and food additives stalls, the reporter also saw many "three no" food additives doped.

According to the regulations, enterprises with the QS logo can only produce edible condiments and cannot produce food additives. However, some enterprises produce both seasonings and food additives. Companies with QS logos in Nanning and Liuzhou also have some "double" functions.

Even some underground processing plants use the QS logo indiscriminately. There is no such enterprise and no such product on the Internet. Previously, there were insiders who conducted investigations in these two markets and found that this phenomenon was very serious. This person said that companies with the XK logo are allowed to produce food additives. Now, it seems that any enterprise can produce food additives, to some extent impact the products of regular manufacturers.

On the same day, the insider also told reporters that the definition of food additives seems to be a bit blurry. For example, some companies use the words “weiwang” and “tango” on the outer packaging. It can be said that they are seasonings and they are also food additives. Because they use very few doses, they all improve the flavor and mouthfeel of foods. Even some use chemical raw materials as food additives.

Some inferior foods, after being treated with these "food additives" or "seasonings," have become high-end foods. In the interview, the reporter saw an owner who taught the customer how to use the "fork paste" to brewing barbecued pork.

"Even if it is a bad meat, you can make delicious things by using this kind of thing." The boss said that this kind of "fork paste" has a cover-up effect. At the time, he also took out a bottle of "mutton powder." "There will be smell of lamb. If you use this kind of food, you can remove the smell and make the meat red."
