Farmer Spring is referred to custom product standards: Allow mold to exist

According to the 21st Century Web report, farmers Spring from the beginning of March, "Black Suspended Matter", "water source garbage siege" and a series of "Quality Gate" incident, has not taken the initiative to eliminate the public concern about the safety of their water quality, but only repeatedly claimed that their products meet the relevant quality standards. But in fact, as the domestic well-known drinking water brands, the farmer spring implementation is not a strict product standards. Farmer Spring is the implementation of the product standard for "db33/383-2005 bottled drinking natural water", the standard for Zhejiang province local standards. But the 21st century network found that, compared to the old Zhejiang Standard and Guangdong Province standard, the standard relaxed the content of some harmful substances requirements, and allow the existence of mold and yeast, and the harmful strains of which may affect human health. Farmers spring in Guangdong production and sale of products, the use is still Zhejiang standard. According to the "Food safety local standard management measures", Guangdong province food production enterprises should be in accordance with local standards in Guangdong production. A number of lawyers to the 21st century network said that the farmer spring Guangdong company abandoned the Guangdong Standard, the adoption of Zhejiang standard behavior has been suspected of violating food safety regulations. The origin of Guangdong is not the Guangdong standard is too strict? Since March, the farmer Spring "Quality Gate" series of events caused public attention to drinking water security, from the "black, Brown suspended matter" to "water source garbage siege", all pointed to the farmer spring Danjiangkou water source. Despite the criticism of the public opinion, the farmer spring has not taken the initiative to take practical action to eliminate the community's doubts, only verbally insisted that its products meet the "db33/383-2005" quality standards. But the 21st century network found that the standard in China is not very strict drinking natural water standards. Is this the reason why the farmer spring is in the "Quality gate"? Farmer spring in Guangdong Green Lake water source, Zhejiang Qiandaohu water source and Hubei Danjiangkou water source are "db33/383" standards, and the standard is Zhejiang local standards. But it is strange that Guangdong also has the province's drinking natural water standards, but the Guangdong Green Lake water source products have not adopted the standard, still use of the lower water quality requirements of Zhejiang standard. The local standard for drinking natural water in Guangdong is db44/116-2000, while in the origin of lake, the farmer spring outside the Guangdong province, it shows that its implementation of the product standards for db33/383, still for Zhejiang local standards. 21st century network through contrast found that the farmer spring current db33/383 Zhejiang Standard, far less than Guangdong this 13 years ago has been developed natural water standards. From the table below can be seen in many water quality indicators, Zhejiang standards are greatly relaxed in Guangdong standards, even contains a lot of harmful substances. such as the "protagonist" of the recent Hunan poisonous rice event-cadmium, as well as the main ingredient of arsenic in highly toxic substances-the tolerance content of Zhejiang standard is one times higher than that of Guangdong standard. and mold, yeast and other fungi, Zhejiang standard tolerance of its existence, and Guangdong standard is "not to check out." A high in biological teachingChinese teachers to the 21st century network, mold and yeast are fungi, divided into beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria, mold in the flavus is a strong carcinogen, and yeast Candida albicans can lead to oral problems. Drinking natural water Zhejiang Standard and Guangdong Standard comparison table (part) test index unit Zhejiang standard db33/383-2005 Guangdong standard db44/116-2000 Notes ph value-5.5-8.5 6.5-8.5-chroma ≤10≤5 does not present his color turbidity ≤3≤1- Visible objects-no detectable-chromium mg/l≤0.05 (hexavalent) ≤0.01 Harmful substances Arsenic mg/l≤0.05 (total arsenic) ≤0.01 Harmful substances cadmium mg/l≤0.01≤0.005 harmful substances cyanide mg/l≤0.05≤0.00 2 Harmful substances carbon tetrachloride mg/l≤0.002≤0.001 harmful substances nitrite mg/l≤0.005≤0.002 harmful substances colony total cfu/ml≤50≤20-mold, yeast cfu/ml ≤10 not to detect the undetermined nitrate mg ≤45≤20 Limited Index Selenium mg/l≤0.05≤0.01 Limited index from the above table can be seen, Zhejiang standard significantly lower than the Guangdong standard is an indisputable fact, however, even the farmer spring in Guangdong's factory, also abandoned the existing quality standards in Guangdong, and chose the lower standards, And farmers spring in the domestic brand name of the forefront of drinking water does not match. Misuse of local standards for alleged violations or legal loopholes? Farmer Mountain Spring Guangdong region's producer for "Farmer Mountain spring Guangdong million Green Lake Co., Ltd.", Industry and commerce data show its registered address is located in Guangdong province Heyuan. In that case, Guangdong Enterprises in Guangdong Province, the existence of relevant product standards, the use of foreign provinces and cities to meet the standards of the relevant provisions? 21st Century Network access to the Ministry of Health issued the "Food Safety of local standards of management measures" (health supervision issued [2011]17) found that the method fourth stipulates that food production operators should be in accordance with the location of the production of food safety local standards organization production and management. According to the above provisions, farmers Spring has been suspected of violating the provisions of Zhejiang local standards. But are drinking-water related issues applicable to food safety laws and regulations? Farmer Spring Packing instructions. The Food Safety Act 99th of the People's Republic of China defines food as: food, which is a variety of finished products and raw materials for human consumption or consumption, as well as items that are both food and medicine in accordance with tradition, but do not include items for therapeutic purposes. Lingyun Law firm lawyer Huang Luyuan to 21st century Network said that the safety of drinking water is related to public health and life safety, but also in line with the legislative principle of food safety law, "bottled or barreled drinking water should belong to the regulation of food safety law." Xiangdong, lawyer of Shanghai Han-Shang law firmDai Jiapeng, a lawyer at the Beijing National Union law firm, also said in 21st century that bottled and barreled drinking water was applicable to food safety laws. Farmer spring Guangdong million Green Lake Co., Ltd. is a local registered enterprises in Guangdong, the use of local raw materials, local production and sales, local and there are corresponding local standards. For farmers Spring Guangdong Company to abandon more stringent local standards and to adopt provincial standards of behavior, xiangdong lawyer bluntly said, "This is illegal." Dai Jiapeng further pointed out that, according to the local standards of the two provinces to "natural water" definition, can be judged that its norms belong to the same product, so the farmer spring Guangdong Company to adopt Zhejiang standard is illegal behavior. 21st Century Network on this and consulted the Guangdong Provincial health department, the Guangdong Provincial Food and Drug Administration and the Guangdong Provincial Quality and technical supervision, but the deadline for the press has not received a clear answer. Mystery revealed: Zhejiang Standard Department farmer Spring to participate in the 21st century network found that the farmer spring to Zhejiang standard "Love Has a single clock", in fact, because the standard is the farmer spring himself tailored for himself. "db33/383-2005" bottled natural water industry standards show that the standard of drafting units include Zhejiang Fangyuan Testing Group Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Disease Prevention and Control center, Zhejiang Fair Testing Center Co., Ltd., Farmer Spring Co., Ltd. In the drafting unit, only the farmer Spring family is a drinking water production enterprise. In Guangdong "db44/116-2000" standard, a total of 3 drinking water and beverage enterprises to participate in the formulation. It is clear that in Zhejiang Standard, only the farmer spring can express the views of the enterprise, the industry standards promulgated, naturally inevitably have to the farmer spring tilt suspicion. In the Guangdong Standard, the farmer spring is not involved in the formulation. In fact, the current Zhejiang local standards, not only far less stringent than the Guangdong local standards, and even compared with the past standards in Zhejiang, but also slightly inferior. Industry standard Notes on the page, "db33/383-2005" as the "db33/383-2002" alternative, the standard of the last four-bit for the year issued by the standard. By contrast, the 21st century network found that, compared to the 2002 standards, the 2005 standards in a number of indicators on the decline in demand. In the present standard, the finished product water Cadmium index is ≤0.01mg/l, but in 2002 standard, the cadmium index is ≤0.005mg/l, the current standard is compared with the old standard to be relaxed one times. In microbiological testing, the 2002 standards for finished products in the water mold and yeast detection requirements for the "No Check Out", and in 2005 standards, the request was changed to "Mold ≤10cfu/ml, yeast ≤10cfu/ml." According to biological data, mold or yeast if a large number of breeding, the water will produce floc floating objects. Does the farmer's spring, which allows mold and yeast to exist, have something to do with the "floating" events since March? As of press, the farmer spring is still silent. (21st century Net Liang)
