In March 16th, the State Food and Drug Administration issued a notice requiring the relevant provincial regulatory authorities to conduct a surprise attack on the gelatin enterprises in the area, and compared with the previous inspection, and found that the problem of illegal inspection was resolutely investigated and dealt with. < /p >
< p > it is worth noting that before the notification issued by the State Food and drug administration, the situation of CCTV exposure is obviously different from that of Fujian food and drug administration.

< p > March 15th evening, the reporter learned from the Fujian food and drug administration that the bureau announced the special inspection situation of gelatin in foreign countries. Since March 7th, according to the special inspection conducted by the State Administration of food and drug administration, the Fujian food industry has not found any industrial gelatin or unknown edible gelatin for processing and processing food. < /p >
< p > Fujian food and drug administration also said that as of now, 379 food related production enterprises have been inspected, 12624 business units have been run, and 3504 catering service units have sampled 207 batches of gelatin and rubber related food samples. The 207 batches of samples were in line with the national food safety standards, including 2 batches of gelatin raw materials purchased by golden crown (China) Food Co., Ltd., 4 batches of gelatin raw materials purchased by yako (China) Co., and 2 batches of confectionery products produced by Crayon Shin sin (Fujian) food industry Co., Ltd. < /p >
< p > "from the inspection situation, it is not found that food production enterprises use industrial gelatin or unknown edible gelatin for processing and processing food." The bulletin said. < /p >
< p > however, according to CCTV's report in March 15th, golden delicious, yako and crayon Xiao Xin and other brands have cooperation with the Cangnan gelatin Co., Ltd. < /p >
< p > further from the State Administration of food and drug administration, before the exposure of gelatin manufacturing enterprises such as Fujian, it has been deployed throughout the country specifically for illegal production, sales, use of gelatin and the use of industrial gelatin for processing and processing food, and so on. < /p >
< p > < strong > regulatory gaps need to be filled up < /strong > /p >
Under the supervision of P, why does leather waste still flow into the gelatin industry chain? < /p >
< p > the State Administration of food and drug administration has pointed out that in order to reduce production costs, some enterprises will use "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp "leather" /a "waste as raw material to produce edible gelatin, on the one hand, it is used for pharmaceutical gelatin. Therefore, the determination of chromium limit is added in the quality standard of medicinal gelatin. < /p >
< p > according to the information disclosed by China's < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > gelatin Association < /a > Secretary General Yao Longkun, now more than 30 thousand tons of gelatin in the whole country are using raw materials including leather waste. At present, there are several ten gelatin factories in the country, most of which use this tannery industrial waste skin as raw material for the production of edible gelatin. < /p >
According to Yao Longkun, domestic raw materials are scarce and can not meet the general demand of gelatin production in China. According to P, some gelatin factories use waste materials from this tannery instead of fresh skins to make edible gelatin. In 1994, the "national food additive gelatin" national standard only stipulates that the raw materials for the production of edible gelatin can be made from animal skins, but the skin should be fresh skins or leather processed by tanneries, and no detailed regulations and requirements are made. < /p >
< < p > > promulgated in 2005 "food additive gelatin production enterprise hygiene specification" clearly, leather waste material of tannery can be used as raw material for the production of edible gelatin, therefore, so many gelatin factories use industrial waste leather to process edible gelatin before they will be investigated. < /p >
< p > how to prevent enterprises from producing edible gelatin and medicinal gelatin products with garbage leather? Some food industry experts point out that in addition to filling the regulatory gap as soon as possible, we need to improve the regulatory system at a higher level. The problem of gelatin should be strictly investigated, not only for capsule manufacturing enterprises, but also for wider detection and higher frequency spot checks in the food and pharmaceutical industry. The admittance system should be implemented in gelatin production, and strict monitoring measures should be taken for the production and direction of industrial gelatin. < /p >
