In the parts workshop, there are many white glue materials piled up. Workers told reporters that these glue materials were directly dissolved in water and added to noodles, and the monthly consumption actually reached 70-80 tons. The reporter took some samples and found that these white glue materials are sodium polyacrylate (commonly known as edible glue). According to experts, as a food additive, the beneficial monomer of sodium polyacrylate should not exceed 1%. But the polyacrylic acid in Keming vermicelli has exceeded 1%. In addition, the inspectors also found that the heavy metal of sodium polyacrylate used in Keming vermicelli also exceeded the standard and could not be used as a normal food additive.
How can everyone rest assured of such sanitary conditions? In the ingredient room, the reporter also saw the workers scooping up some sticky gelatinous things with a big peony and adding them to the flour. These things look clear, but what are they? Do people eat it? In order to find out, the reporter came to the warehouse and found a lot of non-iodized salt in addition to the whole table powder. According to national regulations, iodized salt must be used in food processing. Why use non-iodized salt here? Workers in other places told reporters that because of their special processing, the quality inspection department stipulated that non-iodized salt must be used, and the Keming vermicelli packaging tape sold in the market clearly stated that the ingredient was iodized salt.
At the same time, a few days ago, public opinion monitoring Center for Food and Drug of China Health Media Group directly under China Food and Drug Administration and truer professional fact-finding platform under Tencent News jointly released "10 Big Rumor about Food and Drug in March", in which it was mentioned that "the washed glue of noodles can't be eaten" circulated on the Internet and WeChat video was a rumor, but the so-called "glue" was actually gluten, and the main component of gluten was protein, which was rich in nutrition.
