Mengniu Pure Milk detected strong carcinogen executives said the problem product did not leave the factory

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China announced on the 24th the recent results of spot checks on the quality of 200 liquid milk products. Spot checks found that Mengniu and Changfu Pure Milk, two products of the aflatoxin M1 project, did not meet the requirements of the standard.

Among them, a batch of products produced by Mengniu Dairy (Meishan) Co., Ltd. was found to have exceeded 140% of aflatoxin M1. In response, Mengniu acknowledged the test results on its official website yesterday and “apologized to consumers nationwide.” In addition, Mengniu said that all the products in the batch were sealed and destroyed.

Mengniu Pure Milk Consensus Cancer Exceeds 140%

It is reported that in August this year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine carried out a random inspection of 200 liquid milk products involving 128 companies in 21 provinces and cities, covering protein, acidity, lead, inorganic arsenic, total mercury, chromium, and aflatoxin M1. There are 18 items such as Staphylococcus aureus and melamine.

The inspection report released by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine showed that Mengniu Dairy’s batch of products that exceeded the standards were detected by the National Processing Food Quality Supervision Fuzhou Testing Center. The actual value of aflatoxin M1 detected was 1.2 μg/kg, and the highest value in the country was 0.5 μg/kg. The Mengniu batch exceeded 140%. Mengniu’s product that exceeded this batch was the 250ML/box-packed pure milk product produced by the company Meishan on October 18, 2011.

Published data show that aflatoxin M1 is a known carcinogen and has a strong carcinogenicity.

Another Changfu pure milk (fine milk) produced by Fujian Changfu Dairy Co., Ltd. was also found to be unqualified for aflatoxin M1, which was 80% higher than the standard.

Mengniu said that the product in question has not yet been manufactured. For this test result, Mengniu released the “Indications on the Sampling of Mengniu Meishan Factory Products” on its official website yesterday, acknowledging the test results and “apologizing to consumers nationwide”.

The reporter found out that in the Mengniu statement, whether the products that the consumers are concerned about have been detected have already been sold to the market? How will the products sold out be handled? What is the specific number of products in this batch? And it is not clear whether these issues are explained in relation to compensation to consumers.

In response, the reporter contacted Lu Jianjun, vice president of Mengniu Dairy, yesterday. He said that the batch of products was detected by the Fuzhou quality inspection agency in Mengniu's Meishan factory in Sichuan, so the products were not sold yet. After a problem is detected, the company has sealed and destroyed it, so it does not involve a series of issues such as recalls.

At 21:30 last night, Mengniu Dairy issued a renewed statement on the incident and emphasized that the batch of products had not been released at the time of sampling.

The Meishan-made Mengniu will not flow into pure milk containing carcinogens in Beijing. Will Beijing sell it? Will the related product be removed?

The reporter consulted supermarkets such as Carrefour, Wumart, and Wal-Mart last night and related parties said that they have not received any notice to be removed from the market. Moreover, Mengniu products are mostly property-based and Meishan products will not enter Beijing.

Aflatoxin can cause liver cancer dairy expert Wang Dingmian said yesterday that the aflatoxin in milk is derived from the feed of dairy cows. Even if the amount of aflatoxin is excessive, it will gradually accumulate in the human body as the person takes in food. Carcinogenic. The Mengniu milk detected more than 100% of aflatoxin M1 exceeding the standard. If the product is already on the market, it must be dismantled.

It is understood that since the aflatoxin M1 is quite stable and pasteurization cannot kill it, the detection of aflatoxin M1 is not only to be detected in feed ingredients, but also in the final product.

Aflatoxin was classified by the Cancer Research Institute of the World Health Organization (WHO) as a Class 1 carcinogen in 1993 and is a highly toxic and highly toxic substance. The danger of aflatoxins lies in the destruction of human and animal liver tissues. When severe, it can cause liver cancer and even death.
