Some time ago, the online celebrity clock was questioned as an additive because it is difficult to melt at high temperature. As a high-end brand, Haagen-Dazs ice cream has now pushed itself to the forefront of public opinion. Recently, it has been found that there are pesticide components, and the main toxic component is ethylene oxide. Carcinogens detected in Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream. So what are the hazards to the human body after eating? Let's have a look. ?
First, ethylene oxide is an efficient bactericide, which is usually used to kill all kinds of bacteria at room temperature. Mainly used in washing, pharmaceutical, printing and dyeing industries, not for food sterilization. It is reported that ethylene oxide has certain toxicity, and half of the animals died when imported. According to the toxin classification standard, it is moderately toxic. Therefore, in 20 17, the international agency for cancer of the world health organization has listed ethylene oxide as a carcinogen. Secondly, ethylene oxide is a colorless and transparent liquid at low temperature, usually packed in steel pressure-resistant aluminum bottles or glass bottles. It is a gas sterilization agent with strong gas permeability and strong sterilization effect, and has good sterilization effect on bacteria, germs and fungi. Will not cause damage to most articles, and can be used for cooking and disinfection of fur, leather, medical instruments and so on. However, it is corrosive to respiratory tract and can cause gastrointestinal reaction, vomiting, nausea and diarrhea. And liver function damage and hemolysis. Long-term exposure may cause cancer.
Therefore, with the improvement of people's quality of life, our attention to food safety will continue to increase, and Haagen-Dazs itself is a high-priced positioning in China. In fact, as long as they participate in fair market competition, the high price of enterprises is understandable, but high-end brands have such low-end problems, which constantly infringe on consumers' rights and interests, harm public health and affect the development of the industry. I hope these enterprises can really enhance their sense of social responsibility, and the relevant departments can strengthen supervision and give consumers a healthy, safe and assured food market.
