Staff reporter Meng QingPu Crossed and oxidizes benzene formyl by flour brightening agent forbidden from the beginning of the year, to inferior nitrate stiring up trouble again and again, and then reach first ester benzoic acid to hydroxyl of preservative in the original liquid of coca-cola, if evaluate the hot word which Chinese pay close attention to most in the field of food security of this year, food additive is certainly listed. Under such a background, food additive of China - European Union held in Beijing a few days ago supervises the seminar and was concerned by industry extremely, it is only one among a small circle, internal meeting with very strong professional lines, officer, scholar coming because of respect for the fame are numerous, the host has to increase the seat temporarily. It is introduced, European Union has the strictest food security supervisory system of the whole world at present, its safety standard of food has been considered to be the global supreme range pole all the time. Compared with European Union, China supervise respect, have where be different in food additive? Our standard is really as compatriots worry about " Too loosely " (used at the end of a question)? It is the top food toxicologist of Europe that Central Europe of examination and approval procedures basically comes from the Danish technology university national Dr. MORTENSEN of the food research institute unanimously. She has introduced regulation frame and evaluation system about food additive of European Union at present. The European food security bureau is divided into 10 science groups, one of them is about the food additive, spices, process the group that auxiliary contacted the material with the food. This group is made up of two expert panels again, first, the expert panels (ANS group) of food additive and nutrition source regarding added to food ,Another to keep in touch material, enzyme, spices and expert panel that processes auxiliary about the food. ANS group is made up of 21 members, there are chemists, food technologist, exposing expert and toxicologist,etc.. From the risk assessment, examination and approval of the new variety of food additive to already have evaluation of the variety, 21 people groups are knowing food additive in the range of European Union " Grow and kill authority " . Group hold from 1 to 2 meeting per month, to relevant to apply and go on reviewing. Dr. MORTENSEN became one of ANS group members from July of 2008, served as this group of Vice Presidents from July of 2011. She introduces, in European Union, meeting 3 conditions at the same time may be sanctioned as food additive: Use because of technological demand, namely the unable other solutions that are more practical through technology are replaced; In drafting consumption, have no health to endanger to consumers; Will not mislead consumers. The examination and approval course of food additive of European Union is: After receiving the application document, the secretariat of security bureau of food screens and works out the opinion first draft in advance. Not in advance it screen through,from applicant hand in ANS secretariat application document,then discuss for expert panel, and determine whether to pass or not. During this time, the complete or expert panel objects to data such as applying for the data, explaining, examining to both sides can communicate at any time. Come from the food security of Ministry of Public Health and synthesize and coordinate with the officers of the sanitary control office food safety standard Liu Mings, have introduced the examination and approval procedures of Chinese food additive. Like European Union, the new variety entry (or expand the scope of application, consumption) of food additive of China Also in accordance with applying to examine and approve, in the charge of Ministry of Public Health, examining has two especially: It is really necessary technically; The evaluation certificate of the risk is safe and effective. The general procedure - accepts in order to apply it is evaluated - solicit the opinion - expert publicly - Ministry of Public Health releases the announcement. The present expert appraisal is accused of the organization that central nutrition and food security are responsible for by China's disease. By the look of examination and approval procedures, compared with European Union, there is many China to solicit the opinion publicly and verify two links live. In addition, except that technology examines and comments, there is production permit procedure of a food additive in China, in the charge of quality testing department. (leave and rotate the 2nd) (have and connect the 1st) " centralized " With " disperse " Difference last EU Committee consumer and health is to introduce European Union the supervision frames of the food additives of. In 2008, EU Committee will release common mandate procedure and food additive regulations of food additive, simplify relevant examination and approval systems, the committee of Europe will obtain the consent of member state, namely renewable and augmenting and can use the food additive list. All examination and approval cases will be based on security assessment of the European food security bureau. Set up the appraisal system again at the same time, according to the risk assessment of the European food security bureau, inspect food additive on the market of current European Union. Supervise as to food additive, European Union mainly depends on the rigorous laws and regulations, take charge of by food security bureau. So far, European Union has more than 1300 regulations (order) Used in food additive to manage. Its core is: The service condition that food additive must be clear, scientific foundation, transparent, get easily, applicable in all member states. Take label of food additive as examples, sell to the consumers finally directly, the label is different. Only if food additive sold to consumers directly, must list the name or electronic number on the label, which kind of additive and explain to belong to, in case that and other products are obscured. In addition, European Union stipulates, must list all compositions on the food label in order of composition, weight, including food additive, and can't let consumers misunderstand to the attribute of the products. The principle of control over food additive of China is using according to the regulation in accordance with the law. But, according to the stipulations of law, food additive of China is supervised and distributed in a plurality of departments such as hygiene, quality testing, industry and commerce, food medicines supervising, agriculture, commercial affair, engineering letter, each performs its own functions in every department, each in charge of for a while. The materials reveal, China's new national standard stipulates that there are 2400 kinds of food additive of 23 kinds at present, process 158 of auxiliary, for food the intersection of spices and 1853, the intersection of candy and basic the intersection of pharmaceutical and 55 of material, other 334 of food additive of classification, nurse of glue, among them. In addition, our country also makes" the food nutrition fortifier uses the sanitary standard ", about 200 kinds food nutrition fortifiers allowed to use. At present, the criteria for classification of food additive that European Union sanctions is different from that of China, about 2600 kinds in total number of all kinds of additive, the two have higher coincidence degree. Public questions are " Sneak " The thing burning combs Central European food additive to supervise carefully, the expert thinks, China has disparity with European Union, but disparity is not big. But why in reality did someone always query the standard of China is lagged behind or supervised loosely? The expert says, these involves people to food additive standard, problem of perception of the management style. Not long ago, Taiwan announced detection preservative in the original liquid of a batch of coca-cola to the news of first ester benzoic acid of hydroxyl, cause the extensive concern of the public of China's Mainland. Coca-cola respect responds and claims this preservative is in China's Mainland the area is legal food additive, the use of the coca-cola accords with the law of China's Mainland. Yes Comment that queries food additive in China's Mainland for this " Standard loosely " ,The relevant food company carries out " The double standard " . According to the introduction of expert, the same kind of material, different countries or area adopts different and standard situations to be extremely common in the field of food. Though the material is the same kind, data of risk assessment are that the world share too, and the equilibrium of security and necessity that the country or responsible institution of the area is real according to oneself that but different, may choose different management styles. For example, first ester benzoic acid of hydroxyl is regarded as a kind of safe and high-efficient preservative and used in China's Mainland, U.S.A., European Union. The regulation of Taiwan " Can't be used in the soda to hydroxyl benzoic acid first ester pharmaceutical " . Another typical example is additive of flour ' Commonly called as brightening agent) Cross and oxidize benzene formyl, U.S.A. thinks it " the risk can be neglected, and the advantage that it brings is quite obvious " ,So allow to use; But European Union thinks, " the advantage brought is limited, it is harmful perhaps" ,So forbid. Also the expert says, write thing on the paper as to the regulation, standard these, everybody is easy to understand for the similarities and differences between different countries or areas. Domestic masses, to the doubt of the food security question, the back has some invisible things instantly. A little interlude at the seminar seems to confirm this. A Chinese scholar questions to Dr. MORTENSEN, how to guarantee the member's selection, examining and commenting science of ANS group is just? The from Denmark woman doctor can't say for a time the intersection of understanding and meaning of questioner. She says, 21 members of ANS group are all top experts of relevant fields of Europe, its selection and behavior have clear legal provision. The selection procedure of ANS group is: The food security bureau announces the condition, the expert in the whole range of European Union registers freely, the security bureau selects, the result announces on websites, still announce the experts' resume, main academic achievement,etc. at the same time. When participate in the expert panel activity, these experts must issue the interests statement, namely participated in in personal name, do not represent the interests of any group or enterprise. Her towering shoulder is replied: "Why did people distrust them? "
