Lipton accused of double standards in Central Europe using GB as a shield

24th, a foreign environmental group released a report that the world's largest tea brand Lipton in China sold four samples of products ——— black tea, green tea, jasmine tea and tieguanyin bag tea, was detected 17 pesticide residues.　　According to the report, although pesticide residues in accordance with China's national standard, but 7 of them have not been approved by the European Union, 1 kinds exceed the EU limit, Lipton suspected in Central Europe set double standards. In this regard, netizens have said that Lipton in pesticide residues in the double standards, the products sold in China to Europe is not qualified, which is not responsible for Chinese consumers.　　Netizens also said that Lipton in the national standards to do "shield", so the most rational proposal is to modify the national standards of tea, so that it to the EU standards.　　What is the "double standard"? Netizens "Summer" that many consumers choose to Dayton, is the trust of its world-class brands, the original has always thought that Europeans drink at ease, we are relieved. But I did not think that there will be domestic and foreign standards are not uniform phenomenon.　　As the world's largest brand of tea, Lipton side in the world to promote its health, fashion image, while giving uninformed Chinese consumers "add" high toxic illicit pesticides, feel their "right to know" was violated. The Netizen, Winston Churchill Hero, said that it had claimed to use only the state-approved pesticides, using the smallest amount of chemicals, but it turned out to be empty promises. Lipton markets around the world, it is clear that such tea if in Europe, it is certainly not allowed to sell.　　That is to say, Lipton is selling products that are not up to the EU's requirements to countless unsuspecting Chinese consumers. Netizens "Minlida" that China's own "GB" also for Lipton pesticide residues provide a "well-deserved" excuse. Under the background of world economic integration, China's "GB" has become a stumbling block to the "eager" and "complacency" of enterprises in some degree. GB of loose, so that tea companies are unwilling to invest in the cost of adhering to product quality.　　From the cultivation of tea to production, packaging and storage links, there should be strict quality procedures to be standardized to ensure that they do not drill loopholes. "GB" PK "European standard" netizens "precisely" said that the cause of the storm, mainly the environmental protection organizations cited the EU standards, and Lipton said is China's "GB". In fact, compared with Japan, the European Union and other countries and regions, our current national tea health standards of pesticide residue limit is significantly lower, involving too few pesticides, and did not ban the agricultural garden banned pesticide limit index included.　　Of the more than 600 pesticides registered for use, fewer than 30 pesticides have a residue standard for tea. "Peng Yang" blog article said the report was the domestic tea companies and industry experts to refute the retort, but also because its control standards are not "GB", but the selection of tougher EU standards. For example, according to the "GB", the maximum residue limit for the 10mg/kg, measured by this standard, was investigated by the 9 brands of all tea-likeProducts, the highest residual content of piperazine is a kind of jasmine tea, for 0.3mg/kg, pesticide residues far from exceeding the standard.　　However, in accordance with EU standards, the content of the ketone has been far exceeded, the EU's maximum limit for this pesticide residue is 0.05mg/kg. Netizens "true Yemen" also said that this is actually a tea "GB" and "European standard" between the PK. In fact, the former national standard of tea, strictly in the European Union standards, but to 2005 years, in order to expand the size of the export, the national standard for technical amendments. It is this amendment, so that the national standard "striding back", or even lower than the EU standards, but also led to the domestic tea in recent years excessive heavy metals, pesticide residues increased significantly.　　Now, although the industry experts and enterprises do not endorse the report, but the fact is that China's tea exports are declining trend, especially with the European Union and other countries and regions continue to strengthen export testing standards, strict restrictions on the minimum limits of pesticides, domestic tea exports have been restricted. Don't let "GB" become a shield many netizens believe that the quality of Chinese tea and the process should be the standard set the world role model, but the current "GB" too much reflects the interests of enterprises, and ignore the high standards of consumer demand.　　Many netizens suggest that regulatory departments and tea enterprises should improve quality awareness, ensure product quality and safety, and accelerate the further improvement of relevant standard system. "Hu Sunxin" blog that the development of the vision, the Chinese market sooner or later to the developed countries to the market, including the relevant industry standards, market supervision and so on, can not always wear the "Chinese characteristics" of the hat and reduce the demand for enterprises.　　Although consumers may be helpless in some market management system, tea companies can take "GB" as a shield, but consumers can choose to stay away from products produced in China. There are also netizens said that we are not only worried about the low requirements of the current national standards, but some tea companies always take national standards as a shield, always think in front of consumers can be justly, this is the eager of the terrible performance.　　In this incident, including Lipton several brands to take national standards to say, incredibly no one company will take all measures to the European Union standards, such as the opening of new tea plantations, the use of real non-toxic and low toxicity pesticides, from the source to ensure the food safety of tea.
