Harm of counterfeit sesame oil

According to the relevant standards of our country. There can only be one kind of raw material for sesame oil, and that is sesame. According to the different processing technology. Sesame oil can be divided into small ground sesame oil and machine-made sesame oil. The production environment of sesame oil factory should meet the safety and hygiene standards of edible plant oil factory. In addition, sesame oil should meet the corresponding safety and hygiene requirements in the process of packaging, transportation and storage to prevent food contamination. According to the investigation results of the industrial and commercial departments, some illegal operators of black dens rarely or never use sesame seeds, but use salad oil, cottonseed oil and edible spices to blend this sesame oil. According to the relevant laws and standards of our country, this kind of behavior is absolutely not allowed and is obviously adulterated. In addition, we can see from the scene that his production and processing environment is very bad and he does not have basic production conditions, so the sesame oil produced in this way is unsafe. ? In order to make adulterated sesame oil taste more like sesame oil, counterfeiters mixed sesame oil essence, which is an edible spice and a food additive. However, China's regulations and standards have strict restrictions on the use of food additives. If food additives are not used according to the corresponding norms, it is called abuse of food additives. For example, his excessive use of corresponding edible spices in the processing of sesame oil may have a certain impact on the digestive system of human body, and may also have a certain impact on the respiratory system, which may seriously cause symptoms such as diarrhea, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing.

In order to make the color of adulterated sesame oil more real, counterfeiters also mixed cottonseed covers, so everyone may know that refined cottonseed oil is edible. What happens if crude cottonseed oil is added? Edible vegetable oil must be refined, and this crude cottonseed oil, that is, crude oil, is inedible. Crude cottonseed oil may contain free gossypol, which is a substance that may cause damage to human stomach, kidney, digestive system and urinary system.
