The qualified rate of sampling of meat products in individual delicatessen restaurants in Guangzhou is zero
Stevia sweeteners are derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) plant, an herbal shrub native to South America. The stevia plant has been used for food and medicinal purposes for hundreds of years, and its leaves and crude extracts have been sold as dietary supplements. Purified extracts of the sweet substances found in the stevia leaf, called steviol glycosides, are considered to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, whole stevia leaves and crude leaf extracts are not permitted to be sold as sweeteners in the U.S. because there is not enough toxicological information on these products, according to the FDA. Stevia sweeteners are made by extracting steviol glycosides from the leaves of the stevia plant and purifying them to remove some of the bitter attributes found in the crude extract.

Microorganisms, artificial pigments exceeded
The unsatisfactory sampling of the foods were all on-site production of bulk cooked meat products. The unqualified items were: microorganisms (total number of colonies, coliform bacteria) items, synthetic pigments (lemon yellow, sunset yellow).
Among the 26 batches of unqualified cooked meat products, there were 18 batches of sample microorganisms (the total number of colonies and coliform bacteria) exceeding the standard, of which, 2 batches exceeded the total number of colonies, and 16 batches exceeded the standard for coliform bacteria. Because the cooked meat products extracted this time are ready-to-eat foods with high moisture content and high protein content, and microorganisms are easy to breed, the reasons for the unqualified total number of colonies and coliform bacteria may be due to simple production equipment and manual operations; Insufficient attention is paid to the production environment and personal hygiene; disinfection of the entire production process, including packaging materials, is not thorough; the protection of the product is not good, the place of production is the central kitchen, there is no gap, raw meat cooked meat is the same clean area, and microbiology is easy. Cross-contamination and cooked meat products are exposed for a long time.
Try to buy freshly baked meat products
At present, the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce has adopted measures such as removing shelves, sealing up, initiating investigations and other measures against unqualified foods, and preventing unqualified foods from entering the market. The industrial and commercial department reminds consumers that when choosing cooked meat products, enterprises should try their best to choose companies that meet hygienic conditions and try to buy freshly baked products, carry them as cold as possible and store them as quickly as possible.
