On December 22, around the theme of the 2023 Food Safety Publicity Week, the Nanning Municipal Administration for Market Supervision held a public open day activity of strict economy, opposition to waste and "you point and I check" laboratory at the Nanning Food and Drug Inspection Institute.
This is the milk powder my child is drinking, and I want to see if there are any unsafe additives. Ms. Chen said that although the ingredient list on the milk powder box is complete, she wants to understand all the nutrients of the milk powder through on-site testing. The staff told her that through the "nitrogen meter" test, it can detect whether the protein content of the milk powder is up to standard, whether harmful ingredients are added, etc.
Members of the public observe a demonstration of nitrite testing.
A member of the public purchased bok choy, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, cherry tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables from the vegetable market she frequented for on-site testing. On the same day, the staff received 20 batches of samples of agricultural products (livestock and poultry meat, vegetables, fruits), edible oil, and dried vegetable products (daylily, white fungus) sent by the public for free testing, and showed the whole process of rapid testing. The data showed that the test results of vegetables and fruits were all negative.
Staff perform rapid testing of various samples.
While waiting for the rapid test results of the samples, the citizens learned "how to eat overnight dishes" and how to buy rice, dumplings, dairy products, and how to identify the authenticity of Chinese herbal medicines in the new "food" lecture hall.
Subsequently, more than 30 citizens visited the microbial laboratory, food inspection room, and drug inspection room, and observed the demonstration of microbial changes and nitrite detection in overnight dishes, the detection of preservatives in beverages, and the demonstration of the whole process of sulfur dioxide detection in drugs.
