"Sultan Red?" Boss Zhu was curious after hearing this, "Is that a pigment?"

Fan Wubing scratched his head and said, "I'm not very clear. I only know that this thing is harmful and carcinogenic. However, I still need to test it first to determine whether it contains Sudan Red, and then talk about other things."

Seeing Boss Zhu's face was confused, Fan Wubing explained, "The function of this thing is to make things very red and very positive, but this is cancerous. It seems that the country used to have a list of prohibited additions, and there is Sudan Red in it."

Boss Zhu said oh, then instructed his secretary to contact the people from the State Quality Supervision Bureau to come over and take samples and test them. He and Fan Wubing returned to the office to continue discussing some issues.

After waiting for more than an hour, news came from the State Administration of Quality Supervision, proving that the bottle of chili oil does contain Sudan Red, and the secretary also obtained the first-hand ingredients for Sudan Red.

Ordinary people, as long as they are not operators in the production and processing stages, they don’t know much about what Sudanhong is?

In fact, Sudan Red is a chemical dye, not a food additive. Its chemical composition contains a compound called naphthalene, which has an azo structure. Due to the nature of this chemical structure, it is carcinogenic and has a significant toxic effect on the liver and kidney organs of the human body.

Sudan Red is a chemical dye, mainly used in petroleum, engine oil and some other industrial solvents. The purpose is to make it color and also used to enhance the shiny of shoes, floors, etc.

In short, this thing should not be added to food.

The secretary reported, "Because Sudan Red is an artificially synthesized industrial dye, in 1995, the EU and other countries had banned it from adding it as a pigment in food, and my country also explicitly banned it. However, due to its bright dyeing, some countries such as India also allow Sudan Red to be added during the process of processing chili powder."

Sudan Red can cause cancer is not news, it is news. After the Sudan Red has been listed as a food ban in China, we have never checked Sudan Red for so many years. Not only that, but now, even the methods and standards for identifying Sudan Red have become problems in China.

This time, if Boss Zhu had not personally sent a secretary to the inspection, the people from the State Quality Supervision Bureau heard that they were going to check the ingredients of Sudan Red, so they obtained the test method from foreign channels and investigated the ingredients in the sample. After any period, they would probably not be able to find it.

Since Sudan Red No. 1 is a carcinogen with strong toxicity, since 1995, the EU and some other countries have begun to ban the addition of Sudan Red No. 1 dye in food. In 1996, the "Sanitary Standards for the Use of Food Additives" issued in China also stipulates that Sudan Red is absolutely prohibited from being used in food production.

After a temporary online search, everyone also found that not long ago, France discovered that the chili products produced by a British company contained Sudan Red One, so it asked it to recall the product immediately. Although the scale of that recall was very small, it rewritten the EU's import and export regulations. Therefore, the EU stipulates that any chili powder entering the EU countries must issue a certificate that does not contain Sudan Red One.

Many chili powder produced in India are blocked from the EU for this reason. The three and others have also protested, believing that the EU is carrying out targeted discriminatory import policies.

The UK Food Standards Authority also issued a warning to consumers and trade agencies about Sudan Red One, because the agency previously discovered Sudan Red One, a pigment containing potential carcinogens in a batch of new food in supermarkets. The UK Food Standards Authority not only requires food manufacturers to continue to be vigilant against red pollution, but also reiterated that the use of potential carcinogens is strictly prohibited and the use of Sudan Red One in the product catalog is prohibited.

However, these two Sudan Red No. 1 incidents did not seem to have attracted the attention of relevant domestic parties, because after that, whether it is the domestic quality supervision department or the food safety authority, as always, it has neither required other countries' corresponding products to issue certificates without Sudan Red No. 1 when entering China, nor has it been listed as a conventional testing project.

"How could such a thing happen?" Boss Zhu was very angry after hearing this report. "What did the quality supervision department do in a day? Such things should be their work responsibility, why have they never checked it? If I hadn't discovered this when I had dinner with President Xiao Fan today, I would have been kept in the dark!"

When Boss Zhu got angry, the problem became very serious. Soon, the head of the State Administration of Quality Supervision and the head of the food safety department rushed over. When Boss Zhu was furious, he felt a little nervous.

When they heard Boss Zhu ask about Sudanhong, both sides were confused. It was obvious that they themselves didn’t know what Sudanhong was. Later, they called experts from the State Administration of Quality Supervision and the experts from the Additives Society, and then they figured out what this thing was.

Experts told Boss Zhu that although the "Sanitary Standards for the Use of Food Additives" in China has long been issued, prohibiting the use of Sudan Red No. 1 as a food additive, he has never conducted Sudan Red tests in his more than ten years of work, and no unit has ever applied for Sudan Red testing. In fact, even he himself has never seen the standard samples of Sudan Red.

Officials from relevant departments who rushed over admitted that if it weren't for Boss Zhu asking about Sudanhong this time, they had never even heard of the term Sudanhong.

"You are a corpse-positioning meal!" Boss Zhu said furiously, "Then I don't ask what you can't do, I'll ask, what can you do?! It's just that during the holidays, I go to the market for a while, and I have been taking the goods as a sample for many years as a sampling sample. Or do I charge the inspection fees twice a year, which makes the public resentment? Apart from these, what else can you do?!"

Everyone looked at each other and thought to himself, why did Boss Zhu even know this? Maybe who reported it in front of him? Otherwise, how could he know about this?

In fact, the quality inspection department also has its own difficulties on this issue. At present, the country has not issued a unified testing method and standard, which has brought insufficient judgment basis to the report of many ingredients that cannot be added. Therefore, they are not able to issue certain testing reports. Some merchants can also grasp this point after their products are found, claiming that there has never been a Sudan Red indicator in the food safety inspection report. Regarding the characterization of Sudan Red, the country has not issued official materials.

The ban without investigation, the ban without standards, and the ban without evidence can be followed. This makes non-food additives such as Sudan Hong No. 1, which are still hidden in food as food additives for six years, has been embarrassing today's law enforcement investigation and punishment work.

"No matter what, what are you doing over the years?" Boss Zhu naturally refused to listen to their ruthlessness. In fact, as Boss Zhu said, they were not interested in collecting money, but they did not have any enthusiasm for actively conducting business, which led to today's situation.

Finally, Boss Zhu asked all departments to conduct self-inspection and correction to see how many crises there are within their respective jurisdictions. Food safety additives cannot be checked or have no processing standards. He said that today, as the commodity economy is developing faster and faster, relying on the initiative and integrity of merchants is not enough, and government departments must take on their own responsibilities tangibly.

In addition, the food safety department is ordered to conduct random inspections of relevant products in major supermarkets across the country to determine whether there is a case of adding Sudan Red, a non-food additive?

After sending these people, Boss Zhu said to Fan Wubing with some headaches, "Look, this is the case. From top to bottom, you don't realize where your responsibility is. When fighting for power and profit, everyone rushed up to break the head. When it was time to discuss responsibilities, they all shrank their heads like turtles. If you sit in my position, you will have to be old for at least twenty years!"

Fan Wubing smiled slightly when he heard this, "I believe this, so I will never enter the officialdom. I will do my business with my conscience and be free and free. I am also working for this country and nation, and I will do a great job. What's wrong with it?"

After hearing Fan Wubing's words, Boss Zhu shook his head and said, "Your idea seems to make sense at first glance, but it is actually not right. It is precisely because of this system that we have to work harder to transform it. Otherwise, what else do we need to do? Just like your father, Comrade Fan Heng, isn't you working hard every day for these things now?"

"I don't deny this. Actually, I still admire your labor efforts." Fan Wubing said righteously.

"I can't see anything that I admire. I guess you are laughing at us in your heart that we are pedantic and unrealized—" Boss Zhu would not be moved by Fan Wubing's words, and shook his head with a smile.

The two discussed for a long time. After having supper together, Fan Wubing said goodbye and left.

When he got home, the lights were already on. Only then did he notice that Shen Ying was not at home. When asked about her mother Zhang Mei, she said that Shen Ying had returned in the afternoon and left again, saying that she probably wouldn't come back tonight.

"Oh, if you don't know how to come, you're probably just communicating with her sister--" Fan Wubing nodded and said intimately.
