The new national standard of food packaging is implemented for three days. What is the "weight loss" of the moon cake market?

Wuhan Evening News August 20 (Trainee reporter Liu Ke took the correspondent Wu Jinhuan) The new national standard for the "weight loss" of moon cakes was implemented on the third day. What about the moon cakes on the market "slimming"? On the 18th, the market supervision departments of the two levels of the urban area of ​​Wuhan and Pukou District jointly conducted special inspections on the moon cake market for overpowering of the moon cake market.

It is reported that on August 15, 2022, the National Standard No. 1 (referred to as the "New National Standard") of the National Standard No. 1 (referred to as the "New National Standard") was officially implemented.

The new national standard clearly stipulates that the number of packaging layers of moon cakes does not exceed three layers; the packaging materials shall not use precious metals and mahogany; moon cakes should not be mixed with other products, and the packaging gap rate shall not exceed 30%. The moon cakes produced before the implementation of the "new national standard" (August 15, 2022) can be sold to the end of the shelf life; moon cakes produced after the implementation date should strictly implement the new national standard.

The packaging gap rate refers to the ratio of the necessary spatial volume and the total capacity of the packaging in the packaging of the container. The smaller the value indicates the smaller the packaging gap.

On the morning of the 18th, law enforcement officers of the Municipal Bureau and the Market Supervision Bureau of the Laantou District led the technical personnel of the Municipal Agreement Institute to the large chain supermarket located on Changfeng Avenue. Law enforcement officers randomly selected two boxes of moon cake gift boxes from the shelves for testing, namely "Shunxiang Fraud Cake Mooncake" and "Guoshi Tianxiang" moon cakes. The production date was August 3, 2022. After checking the food names, net content, production date, and shelf life of the packaging label, the inspection personnel of the Municipal Institute of Municipal Agreement opened the gift box packaging, took out the cricket ruler, steel ruler and electronic balance, and calculated one by one. Since this is a moon cake produced before August 15, it is still tested in accordance with the original national standards. It is estimated that the packaging gap rates of "Shunxiangfu Ceremony Mooncake" and "National Sex Sky" moon cakes are 12.96%and 20.84%, respectively, less than 60%of the maximum packaging gap rate indicated by the original standard, and the test passes.

Law enforcement officers went to Asian hotels for inspection. The hotel launched 4 exquisite packaging moon cake gift boxes, and law enforcement officers randomly extracted a moon cake gift box called "pacifer" for inspection. The gift box was produced in July, and its packaging gap rate was less than 60%, which was qualified.

At the scene, the inspectors calculated the three boxes of moon cakes in the test method of "new national standards" to see if they could pass the new regulations. The results showed that "new national standards" were stricter, and two moon cakes did not meet the standards.

The packaging rates of the packaging of "Shunxiangfu Ceremony Mooncake" and "Pucci" moon cake gift boxes were 52.16%and 30.87%, respectively, exceeding the maximum packaging gap rate specified in the "new national standard", which did not meet the requirements. The packaging rate of the "national color Tianxiang" moon cake gift box is 24.08%, less than 30%, which meets the standards.

According to the relevant person in charge of the measures, the implementation of the "new national standard" can avoid the routine of "small moon cakes, big packaging", which is more scientific.
