First of all, we need to know what aromatic mineral oil is. Aromatic hydrocarbons, referred to as aromatic hydrocarbons, are the general name of benzene and its derivatives, which are derived from chemicals such as petroleum and kerosene. Long-term repeated exposure to low-concentration benzene or other aromatic substances can cause chronic poisoning symptoms and damage the central nervous system or hematopoietic system. As can be seen from the report, the content of aromatic mineral oil in these eight affected milk powders is between 0.5 mg and 3 mg per kilogram. The official statement is that this contaminated milk powder will not cause any other acute diseases or symptoms for the time being. In addition, it can be seen from the relevant laws and regulations of the European Union and Germany that there is no statutory limit statement on the residual amount of aromatic mineral oil in food.
On the other hand, in China, does this dosage of aromatic mineral oil residue meet the current regulatory limit standards in China? Especially at present, there is no relevant or similar sampling standard for carcinogens in mineral oil containing aromatic hydrocarbons in China, because aromatic hydrocarbons have never been extracted from various sampling items of milk powder in China. As for whether the content of aromatic mineral oil in this range is a threat to human health, there is no final official confirmation at present, but I suggest that parents should treat products related to their baby's health, especially the baby's rations, with a distrust attitude, which is related to the baby's healthy growth.
