According to reports, according to the national standard "Drinking River", the flavor drink is one or more or more of the flavor drink (including sugar and starch sugar) and (or) sweet flavor agent, acidity regulator, edible flavors (ingredients), etc. The main means, liquid drinks made of processing or fermentation. For the technical requirements of flavor drinks, the first is that the raw materials should meet the corresponding food standards and relevant regulations; the second is that the sensory requirements must have the color of the product, no odor, odor, and foreign body.

Similar flavor drinks are not uncommon, such as tea -flavored drinks, fruit beverages, milk -flavored beverages, coffee flavor drinks, flavor water drinks, other flavor drinks, etc. Generally, ordinary consumers do not investigate the meaning of "flavor drinks". They think that litchi flavor drinks are processed by lychee, apple -flavored drinks are processed by apples, and tea -flavored drinks are tea. In fact, this is two codes. Named fruit juice drinks must contain fruit juice, but the problem of the amount of content. According to relevant regulations, the juice content must be at least 10%before it can be called a fruit juice drink. Fruit beverages do not necessarily contain fruit juice. The taste of fruit beverages is mainly matched with flavors. It has nothing to do with the fruit. It just has the taste of the fruit.

In terms of production, if you comply with national standards, "flavor drinks" are not illegal, but if it is in packaging and sales, it will be suspected of being violated. This mung bean soup flavor drink, the word "mung bean soup" is very eye -catching on the packaging, and mentioned "heat heat dissolution and thirst". The graphics also used mung beans. Playing with gimmicks, attracting consumption with mung beans, does not actually contain mung beans, misleading fraud.

Some lawyers said that in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, the operator provides consumers with information such as the quality, performance, use, and validity period of relevant commodities or services. publicity. Practicing or misunderstanding on goods or its packaging may also violate the provisions of the Anti -Unfair Competition Law.

It is not surprising that this "mung bean soup" attracts consumers. Similar gimmicks also often allow consumers to be in the clouds and fog, such as vitamin drinks named lychee flavors, without lychee components; drinks known as "0 sugar" have sugar, and some are under the guise of "without sucrose". Survage the city, but concealed the truth containing other sugar substances, and misleading consumers with "sugar -free".

Not long ago, a drink was found to have more than 200 ingredients on the ingredient table, which made people shock. Consumers who are unknown think that the drink contains 232 plants. In fact, it only adds an enzyme powder containing 232 plant elements. "Drinking the taste of grape juice, you can't drink other taste."

For this similar propaganda, it cannot be discovered by consumers. The regulatory authorities should restrict the speculation of manufacturers' speculation.
