Concern
The intersection of infant and pre-school children and milk power this time " The involving in case "
Sweden national the intersection of food and office claim the intersection of forest and research institute, card of Sri Lankan, Carol of Swedish, test Nestle, like, find at the inclusive famous baby food by treasure, may include a large number of poisonous elements such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, uranium inside.

View
The food safety standard must be rebuilt once in 3
Now many nutritionists all propose, the baby should introduce diatery supplement such as the rice flour since 4 months. But the suggestion that this Swedish researcher provides is, because it is difficult to estimate these poisonous elements (including arsenic, lead and cadmium) accurately To the risk that the baby causes, parents mustn't feed and eat the food taking rice as raw materials for the baby under 6 months.
Then, can the arsenical baby's diatery supplement be still eaten? The intersection of institute and associate professor, food science of China Agricultural University and project of nutrition where count the country call when being interviewed by media, the carcinogenic probability of arsenic is relatively small, so long as arsenic, within the range of national standard, the food is safe, needn't be too anxious.
Researcher Chen JunShi express academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, Center for Disease Prevention and Control of China nutrition and food security, our country is revising" the pollutant puts a limit on quantity in the food ", but does not involve the rice, arsenical limit of infant and pre-school children's food to adjust, " it is adjusted that is not there reason " .
But, as to the above-mentioned view, but food processing expert, food science of agricultural university of Jilin and institute food science dean Professor Liu XueJun of the project inside the province hold different views. "The national standard is authoritative, as to consumer, are selecting all right this while purchasing as and consulting the basis; But may not be certain the standard that the country makes is totally rational. " Liu XueJun says, arsenic belongs to a kind of carcinogen, but really carcinogenic, relate to intaking amount, personal physique,etc..
Generally speaking, standards are all according to the scientific and technological level at that time, had done a large number of tests and fixed later. Have the intersection of science and problem that cognitive level raise progressively too, so related to food security some standard to take, must revise one again 3 year usually.
