Chapter 267 Food Safety


Chapter 267 Food Safety

The broadcast time of "Weekly Quality Report" is 9:50 tonight, so there is still plenty of time.

And it is necessary to have a good relationship with the Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Suzhou has a small arable land resource, but it is a province with a large grain output, and its grain yield per unit area ranks among the highest in the country.

Rice has ranked first in the country for many consecutive years.

In 1998, the rice yield in Jiangsu Province exceeded 1,100 kilograms, and it has always been at the forefront of the country in terms of rice scientific research and planting technology.

Recovering, Guo Yang said with a smile: "Just in time, I also want to taste the taste of seawater rice."

Zhu Jie said: "I am also interested in Tianhe's rice. I am very interested in sea rice scoring.”

Tiaozini Reclamation Area is home to a large number of scientific research institutions, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences also has corresponding laboratories here.

So, after a while, a few people braved the cold wind and arrived at a simple and plain laboratory.

A strong aroma of rice hits my face.

Here, more than a dozen rice cookers have cooked rice, and a group of scientific researchers are waiting to appreciate more than a dozen portions of rice.

This is a real jobber.

Each variety must also be scored. Only those with high scores will have the opportunity to enter the fields to promote planting and serve it on the dining tables of ordinary people.

Guo Yang also tasted them one by one.

Occasionally, I pretend to make some comments, but in fact I don’t really understand them at all. I only know that there are some slight differences in the entrance.

But he is not very sensitive to these.

Until we came to the sea rice.

The rice grains in the bowl are crystal clear and full, with distinct grains. Guo Yang took a bite and chewed it carefully. There was a long and pleasant sweetness among the fragrant glutinous rice.

“This tastes good!”

Zhu Jie also came over and took a taste, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"The texture of the rice is very firm, and the taste is a bit unexpected. It doesn't look like rice grown in saline-alkali soil."

He looked at the score sheet in front again, and no one had given it to Tianhe yet. The sea rice varieties are scored.

The national standard stipulates the taste score of high-quality rice. First-class, second-class, and third-class rice must be greater than 90, 80, and 70 respectively.

Generally speaking, a rice variety with a taste score of 85 to 90 is considered a very high-quality rice variety.

The several varieties that have been tasted are mostly around 60 to 70 points, and only one has more than 70 points.

The taste of rice usually depends on the variety and growing environment. Rice with good taste usually grows in places with fertile soil.

And it has high starch content and low protein content.

The soil in the saline-alkali land is poor, and the rice produced by sea rice has a high protein content, so the taste is not good.

In terms of food taste score, naturally it cannot be high.

In fact, my country has developed sea rice varieties in the early 1980s.

However, due to poor taste and many other problems such as low output and lack of marketability, it was ultimately difficult to promote it.

Tianhe's sea rice is definitely of high quality in terms of taste, and its yield is not low at all.

If it can compete with high-quality rice varieties in terms of taste and yield, then the other advantages of sea rice will be even more obvious.

For example, there are fewer pests and diseases on saline-alkali land, so there is no need to spray pesticides, which is more environmentally friendly and healthier.

There are more trace elements...

This is absolutely extraordinary.

Zhu Jie thought for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally scored 90 points in the score column.

At this time, the researchers behind also noticed his score and asked: "Lao Zhu, are you serious about scoring 90 points?"

"How much? 90 points?" ”

“Which breed actually got a score of 90 points from the director?”

“Isn’t the director the most strict in scoring?”

“There are very few people before me who have scored more than 70 points.”

"Me too, the rice grown on saline-alkali land does not have an advantage in taste!"

A group of people gathered around, and it is really rare for the director to score a high score of 90. .

Their research center has participated in scoring many sea rice varieties over the years, but only a few can score more than 70 points.

Guo Yang, who was walking in front, also attracted his attention. He turned around and looked at the people who were eager to try in surprise.

Zhu Jie smiled and said: "This is just my evaluation. I think it is worth it. Don't let me interfere and make your own evaluation."

"Okay."< br>
“Let me try.”

"The rice grains look pretty good, white and plump."

The researchers successively picked a handful of rice and put it in, tasting it carefully.

“It’s really good.”

“Glycol and soft.”

“What a rice!”

"I feel that today's tasting was worthwhile. It is rare to taste high-quality rice. Every grain has a natural taste."

"Another high-quality variety."

"The key is this It’s still a salt-alkali-tolerant variety. I remember the salt-alkali resistance is quite high!”

“It’s a pity that this is a variety from Tianhe Seed Industry, not a variety cultivated by our hospital!”

Guo Yang didn't expect that the sea rice variety would get such a high evaluation. In his opinion, this rice is delicious.

But it was far behind Tendao 20. It was the most delicious rice he had ever eaten.

Nowadays, it has become popular among scientific researchers who have tasted various types of rice for a long time.

This forced him to re-examine the taste quality of Tiandao 20, or let the experts in the south taste it?

At the moment when Guo Yang was stunned, a group of scientific researchers had already started scoring.

88, 87, 89, 85, 88... There is no more 90 points. This is the threshold for first-class rice.

Tianhe's sea rice tastes very good.

But compared to the first-class high-quality rice they have seen, there is still a slight gap.

Looking at these scores, Zhu Jie was not surprised. He scored 90 points entirely because of the bonus of sea rice varieties.

The final average score fell to 88 points.

This is a more reasonable score.

Looking at Guo Yang who was standing still, Zhu Jie said: "Mr. Guo, this score is not low. It is definitely a variety worthy of vigorous promotion."

"And we are only in the preliminary round, and in the end There will be a selection team composed of experts and consumer representatives, and their scores will be the final score."

Guo Yang smiled. He was not dissatisfied. This was already the highest score today, and far from it. Super other varieties.

"Director Zhu, I am very satisfied with this score. I am thinking that Tianhe also has a conventional rice variety and I also want to participate in this kind of scoring. How should I do it?"

Zhu Jie raised his eyebrows, a little surprised. Is Tianhe's breeding ability so strong?

Corn, vegetables, wheat, cotton, and now rice seeds have begun to enter the field again.

Sure enough, the commercial breeding platforms of large enterprises also have great advantages.

Zhu Jie said: "If Mr. Guo doesn't mind, you can get some seeds next year and sow a small part in our experimental field."

Guo Yang thought for a while and said: "We Two hundred acres have been planted this year, and I think the quality of the rice is excellent.”

“According to today’s scoring standards, I think it can score above 95 points.”

"Oh? Is it so good?"

"Yes."

"Where did it come from?"

"Hainan."

Zhu Jie said: "Then I still recommend planting this year and scoring this year. After all, the water and soil support one person, and the quality of rice is also determined by the water and soil."

Tiandao 20 does have very high requirements on water and soil quality. But with conventional rice seeds, it is perfectly fine to keep them for at least two or three generations. The seeds are easily leaked.

After hesitating for a while, Guo Yangcai said: "Then you may need to ask the director to help find a good paddy field. Tianhe wants to build a rice planting base."

" That's no problem." Zhu Jie asked again: "What about seawater rice? There are a lot of coastal saline-alkali lands here?"

Guo Yang said with a smile: "The rice grown by Tianhe is for internal consumption. For sea rice, Tianhe will vigorously promote seeds.”

Zhu Jie was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by Guo Yang's thoughts.

Building a rice planting base is just for employee welfare?

Really wealthy.

In today's society where food safety problems occur frequently, it must be said that it is a blessing for Jiahe employees to have such a safe source of food.

Guo Yang did not stay at the rice station for long.

Before leaving, someone secretly expressed their feelings to Zhu Jie.

The promotion of sea rice in Jiangsu Province requires dealing with these local scientific research institutions.

There will also be a professional evaluation in the future. What is certain is that experts from the Rice Institute will be indispensable.

It is very likely that Zhu Jie is one of them.

……

9:50 p.m.

Lying on the luxurious bed in the hotel, Guo Yang saw the TV report about duck eggs with red hearts.

The reporting is simple and straightforward.

The main course is served directly from the beginning.

Some markets and distribution companies in Beijing sell "red duck eggs" produced by feeding ducks with Sudan red-added feed from certain places.

Sudan red was detected in this batch of duck eggs.

In line with the consistent style of the "Weekly Quality Report", we crack down on counterfeiting, eliminate the bad and support the good, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

The core audience of the program is consumers.

The purpose of the audience is also very clear, which is to see where and what problems have arisen.

So, when we see Sudan Red coming out again, it is still in the food field that is closely related to life.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves and instantly caused an uproar in the country.

Beijing.

In an ordinary community.

When Zhu Qin was changing the program channel, she accidentally saw the words "Red Heart Duck Egg" and immediately tuned it back.

Any problem with red duck eggs?

Didn’t experts say that red duck eggs are rich in nutrients, including carotene and other elements, and can also fight cancer?

After spending a few minutes reading the cause and effect, Zhu Qin was stunned.

Feeds with Sudan red added?

Their family just ate duck eggs with red hearts tonight!

Not just today, but for some time in the past, her family has had this eating habit.

He also repeatedly recommended the benefits of eating red duck eggs to neighbors, friends, and relatives, and even helped businesses promote them online.

And that netizen from Qixing Island, the ducks raised on the beach also laid red eggs!

There are so many fake ones.

But this is CCTV!

This is authoritative. Every time it exposes relevant issues, it is always accurate. So far, no one has been wronged.

Suddenly, she remembered a netizen on the Tianya Forum who kindly reminded her.

“Real duck eggs with red hearts should be red with yellow, not bright red.”

“It’s best not to eat eggs with red hearts.”

At first she still said I don’t really mind it, but if I think about it carefully, the duck eggs seem to be really bright red lately.

She quickly came to the computer, opened the forum, found the post, and the photos she shared were still vivid in her mind.

Zhu Qin felt like the sky was falling.

She has always paid great attention to diet, and she pays great attention to the quality and nutritional combination of food.

Always proud of it.

Now the boat has capsized.

How should she explain it to her family, relatives and friends? Will eating those red duck eggs already cause damage to the body?

Worry, fear, fear, anger and other emotions were constantly intertwining in her heart.

That night, Zhu Qin began to call the official phone numbers of the General Administration of Inspection and Quarantine, or make complaints and reports on the official website, and also posted online.

The influence of red duck eggs continues to spread.

Two days passed.

The Food Safety Office released the test results of red duck eggs in the Beijing market, in which Sudan Red B was detected in 6 red duck egg samples.

It also investigates the cases of production companies and implements recall and destruction of unqualified products.

At the same time, the authoritative health department issued a notice requiring all localities to urgently investigate and deal with red duck eggs.

A farmer readily admitted that he used Sudan red.

"Yes, I have also used red medicine."

"The buyer said that there is a need for red eggs in the market. They are valuable and people in the capital like to eat them."

"He said this is a new high-tech additive, costing 25 yuan per bag, 0.5 kilograms per bag. Ducks eat it with high yields and red yolks. Moreover, he also comes to collect this kind of duck eggs. 1 kilogram costs two or three cents more. .”

“Then I bought it.”

What’s even more frightening is that there are forty or fifty duck farmers in the township who have been doing this for several years.

There are other counties and cities...

In just a few days, the reputation of the poultry and egg industry has been seriously damaged.

In a market that was originally booming, sales suddenly dropped by 60%, and prices also dropped sharply.

There are no intact eggs under the nest.

Not only eggs, but also roast duck, roast chicken, chicken liver, chicken neck and other cooked foods, despite being sold at special prices, few people are interested.

However, while the influence of the red duck eggs was still spreading, it was revealed in Shanghai that the market issued a ban on the sale of Turbot due to the presence of multiple banned drug residues.

There was a huge uproar.

But the matter was not over yet, as mandarin fish containing carcinogens came out again.

The consequences of any crisis will be endless.

Some unscrupulous merchants have ruined the reputation of the entire industry, and the original unique and authentic "red heart" duck eggs are experiencing an unprecedented cold wave.

But food worries always seem to linger. In the past, we were worried about food shortages, but now we are worried about food safety.

Every tree and tree is surrounded by soldiers, and it seems to have become the norm to be increasingly frightened.

It was during this period.

Hexi Dairy quietly completed the update of its marketing advertising for the new year.

Blue sky, white clouds, grassland, and pasture all come together to form a natural source of milk.

One piece of grass, one cup of milk.

The strong natural atmosphere and unique advertising effect have attracted many eyeballs.

Not to be outdone, other dairy companies have come up with new promotional methods.

Some are still branding themselves as food safety at this juncture.

Guo Yang couldn't help but sneer.

Although Hexi Dairy's publicity campaign is large, it does not touch on the food safety brand.

Safety or safety is not something you can decide, but needs to be tested by authoritative departments and recognized by the public.

However, contrary to the plan, Hexi Dairy also changed its previous low-key development character, and the management frequently made bold statements.
