Moldy Flour Causes Baking Shop Retire Card Tide in Hangzhou

CCTV's 3.15 party exposure exposed a large amount of expired raw materials sold by Hangzhou Guangqi Co., Ltd., and its suppliers were involved in a number of well-known bread baking shops in Hangzhou.

Guangqi mold flour "buried mine" baking industry "earthquake"

The mildewed agglomerated flour was sieved out of the insects and then placed in a new flour bag. The production date changed from January 19, 2013 to November 21, 2013. Hangzhou Guangqi Trading Co., Ltd. arbitrarily tampered with the date of production of food raw materials, a large number of expired food raw materials were exposed by the media, people are even more worried about is that Hangzhou Guangqi once sold 10 tons of expired raw materials, most of the flow to the cans, honey, gold Point, Danby, Buoyin Forest, BreadTalk and September Life, and other well-known pastry baking companies, and these companies cover most of the pastry baking shops in Hangzhou.

The “landmine” planted by Kwokki flour triggered the “earthquake” of the baking industry in Zhejiang. In the past two days, the reporter visited a number of bakery stores in Hangzhou and saw that the lineup for the old days was no longer the case. The variety is still on the shelf. The Danby cake shop clerk at Baoshu Road introduced that the business had dropped over the past two days, reducing the turnover by about 50%. The buoyancy forest and September life also indicate that the turnover in the past two days has been directly affected.

The Hangzhou Mayor Hotline and the Hangzhou Business and Industry 12315 hotline received dozens of related complaints, most of which were disputes between consumers and businesses regarding refunds and refunds of cards, with buoyancy forests, Danbys, and Kesik's honey as the majority.

Can bakery companies sit on the "victim" seat?

As the supplier of “mild flour”, many baking companies have issued a statement “screaming” or irrelevant. The reporter found that most of the emergency statements issued by various bakeries appeared as "victims," ​​but it was clear from the consumer's foot vote that the market did not buy it. “The raw materials with such poor quality are not seen by the procurement staff of the bakery? Bacheng is because its price is low and it can reduce costs!” Some Hangzhou netizens have speculated at the forum.

Consumers' questions are not without reason. According to the “Regulations on Food Raw Materials, Food Additives, and Food-Related Products” of the “Guidelines for the General Hygiene Practice of Food Enterprises” of GB14881-2013, “Food raw materials must be qualified before acceptance.” It also stipulates that “before processing Conduct sensory tests and laboratory tests if necessary; inspections found that food safety project indicators that are abnormal shall not be used; only food materials that are determined to be suitable for use shall be used.” Food production enterprises are the first responsible persons for food safety, and are using processing. Before the inspection of raw materials is due responsibility.

The reporter also learned from one of the self-inspection statements issued by McCain, a baking company, that in November 2013, the company had conducted raw material tests on the bakery king gluten flour provided by the Guangqi trading company, and discovered that the company provided The quality of flour is not closed and there is no purchase. It can be seen that food production enterprises should have the ability to inspect raw materials for quality.

The scale of these companies is not small, and some have chains in the country, not small food workshops, from the survey that the cooperation with Hangzhou Guangqi is not a "temporary couple", from the purchase to the processing link, do many years of procurement are attributed Is it true that baking companies can really sit on the "victim" seat?

How many other "Guangqi" licenses may be evil?

Hangzhou Guangqi Trading Co., Ltd. is a fully licensed legal company. According to the registration data of the industry and commerce department, the company was established on July 5, 2007. The company type is a private limited liability company. The scope of business is wholesale and retail prepackaged foods (valid until June 28, 2014), corporate legal representative, total Manager Wu Lei. It is reported that it is a "well-known" enterprise in the industry, which is evident from its suppliers to well-known baking companies in Hangzhou.

According to the manager of the Marketing Department of Kezimeier, Guangqi was chosen as a supplier of some raw materials, because “Guangqi can basically meet the needs of one-stop shopping, and its inspection reports and authorization documents are very complete.” Ms. Luo, the person in charge of the Brand Promotion Department of Breadnews, also stated: “The suppliers we have selected must at first meet the national standards. Hangzhou Guangqi is a full-fledged brand.”

The reporter learned that Hangzhou Guangqi did a lot of work in order to cover up the eyes and ears. His registered company was in Dingqiao Town, Jianggan District, Hangzhou, and the dens of expired food labels had been altered along the village of Chongxian Street in Yuhang District.

Of course, people have to ask: Is it not easy for a legitimate and well-known company to commit illegal activities? Is the "smell" of some food regulatory functions too sluggish? Do you need to obtain information through unannounced visits by media reporters before you can attack? In this case, should we worry that there are still many "Guangqi" licenses that are still in the dark?

The reporter learned that the Hangzhou supervisory department stated that it is taking this opportunity to dispose of expired food raw materials in Hangzhou Guangqi Trading Co., Ltd., and has thoroughly explored the operating conditions of the food wholesale enterprises in Hangzhou. Each of the city’s food wholesalers and large shopping malls The supermarkets are required to conduct comprehensive investigations on cable claims, purchase and sales ledgers, daily operations, and warehouse management, and must completely eliminate illegal companies like Guangqi.
