So, what exactly is propylene glycol? Is it really "toxic"?

Will children drink this milk, will it be harmful to the body? Can you drink it?

1

What is propylene glycol?

According to the national "Food additive use standards", propylene glycol is a food additive approved by approved, and it is also a solvents allowed to use in food synthetic spices and food fragrances allowed to be used.

my country stipulates that the use of propylene glycols is raw noodle products (noodles, dumplings, ravioli, etc.), pastries (such as Chinese cakes, western -style pastries, moon cakes, etc.) and pastries.

■ Among the wet noodle products, the amount of propylene glycol must not exceed 1.5g/kg;

■ In the pastry and edible decoration, the maximum amount of propylene glycol is 3g/kg.

Therefore, propylene glycol, as a very toxic and allowable food additives, are allowed to be added to some foods when the content is not exceeded.

Can propylene glycol "appear" milk?

So why is Meloel exposed by sampling because of "meol"?

Because according to the national standard requirements, propylene glycol shall not be used in pure milk.

Before the storm, Mc 之 was a "net red brand" that was popular on the entire network. It was recognized as "stronger than other milk". Therefore, it was favored by parents. Many people would buy them for children.

Dr. Yun Yun, a scientific science writer, biological and food engineering professional, said:

"Pure milk is not allowed to add fragrance spices, but in order to improve the flavor, some manufacturers will‘ illegally add ”. In this case, it will not be a small amount of products or individual batches, but the same products will be detected."

The evaluation of McWell's "stronger pure milk fragrance" is related to the use of flavors (propylene glycol is fragrance solvents), and the relevant departments need to be further investigated.

At present, McWell's official explanation given to "unqualified pure milk products" is:

"Unqualified products are mixed with pure milk by the company's residual milk in the production and switching of pure milk and modulation milk, which fails to effectively clean the product tank line, which causes the legal food additives (including propylene glycol ingredients) in the modulation milk."

The child has drank this problem milk

Do you need to worry?

In response to the question of whether I amol -containing diol milk will endanger children's health, experts such as Yun Wuxin generally believe that:

Parents do not need to be too anxious. Even if the child has already drank, it will not hurt health.

The standard dose standards formulated by the International Food Additives Joint Experts (JECFA) are: The intake of each kilo weight per day does not exceed 25 mg per day.

Expert analysis is converted according to the propylene glycol content (0.32 grams/kg) detected by Matur's pure milk (0.32 grams/kg):

60 kg people drink 4.7 kg every day to "exceed the standard";

A 30 -kg -weight child drinks 2.3 kilograms a day and is still in the "safe range".

In other words, adults and children who have drank this brand of milk do not need to worry about or intractication.

There is also this milk at home

Can you drink it for your child?

Experts said that although it contains propylene, it will not harm health after drinking it, but it is still a "unqualified product."

For parents who have already purchased McWell Milk, it is also recommended that you do not drink it for your child. You can contact the brand to refund and return the goods.

On July 4th, Meloel said that the company had stopped production of pure milk, and unqualified products were removed, sealed, and recalled unqualified products.

Milk is not the "fragrant" the better

Many parents pick up milk for their children to buy "flavor". In fact, the taste of milk is not the better. The so -called "milk flavor" depends on various factors such as cow feed, processing technology and fat content.

Li Dahe, a youth member of the Nutrition and Food Society of Chinese Medical Society of China, said:

If you read the food ingredients table carefully, you may find some milk with the banner of "flavor", adding cream, cream, water -free cream, etc. Although the flavor is strong, the calories are also very high.

People with high blood lipids and less physical and physical activity should drink less such thick milk.

So, how should parents choose good milk suitable for children?

Look at the ingredient table

The shorter the ingredients, the better, the ingredients of pure milk should only be raw milk.

If some additional calcium, vitamin D, immunoglobulin, milk iron protein and other active nutrients can also be selected (but this is a modulation milk).

See nutritional ingredients

■ Preferred calcium content, general pure milk calcium content is about 100mg/100ml, and can be called high calcium pure milk with more than 120mg/100ml. ■ According to national standards, the protein content of pure milk is ≥2.9g/100ml, and those who are lower than 2.9g are not "pure milk". It is not recommended to drink it for children.

For children with high protein foods such as meat, poultry, egg beans in the diet, comprehensively consider the protein content of most pure milk on the market, and give priority to milk ≥3.2g/100ml of milk.

■ The content of carbohydrates of milk should be about 5g/100ml.

In addition, parents also remind parents:

1. Be sure to buy milk through regular channels.

2. Milk is a must -have for children in daily life. You can usually choose a few more brands to change.

Finally, I hope that the relevant departments can thoroughly investigate the "propylene glycol" incident, give all consumers an explanation, so that parents will no longer worry about food safety issues, so that children can drink good milk and rest assured to drink milk!
