Recently, the infant nutrition brand ChildLife has once again fallen into a food safety storm due to the "fish oil DHA peroxide value seriously exceeded", which immediately caused an uproar, and many parents who bought the product have posted messages to express their concerns about their children's health. So, what is the situation of Childlife's food safety turmoil this time?Let's move on!
According to the report of the third-party testing agency submitted for testing, the fish oil DHA, S23C098 batch of ChildLife's products, after being tested by Eurofins Analytical Technology Services (Suzhou)**, it was found that this product had passed.
The oxidation value is seriously exceeded, according to the test report, the measured peroxide value of Childlife fish oil DHA is: 63mmol/kg*
According to the national regulations of SC T 3502-2016 fish oil standard qualified value: peroxide value should be 50mmol/kg*。
Obviously, the peroxide value of ChildLife Fish Oil DHA is seriously exceeded!According to the public information obtained, eating rancid oil can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, and long-term consumption may also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, induce DNA destruction, and lead to tumors and cancer.
In addition, the acid value test result of ChildLife Fish Oil DHA was 022 mg g, while the limit of quantification is 005mg g, which also means that the acid value of ChildLife fish oil DHA is also seriously exceeded by nearly five times.
Food safety is more than the sky, especially children's nutrition, safety is a red line, no one can touch it, and it cannot be crossed, but childlife has such a food safety problem, from a certain point of view, it is extremely irresponsible to consumers.
As early as 2018, ChildLife Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc Supplement was evaluated by well-known evaluation bloggers to contain serious problems such as the preservative potassium sorbate, the discrepancy between the measured value of calcium content and the nominal value, and the discrepancy between the measured value and the nominal value of vitamin D content.
In July 2019, ChildLife's DHA products were selected with confidence, pointing out that the peroxide value was seriously exceeded!
In 2023, the ChildLife Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc Large White Bottle was pointed out by China Consumer Magazine that it added potassium sorbate, a preservative that is prohibited in infant formula and complementary foods.
Nowadays, many brands are unscrupulous in order to make profits, such as in the selection of raw materials, in order to be cheap, they often choose cheap raw materials of worse quality to be shoddy, the consequence is that the quality of raw materials is extremely poor, the nutrients are seriously lost, and consumers eat all kinds of harm without benefit.
In addition, many brands do not have a complete production tracking system, so in the process of product production, various so-called sampling and laboratory tests are also mere formalities, which ultimately leads to a decline in product quality and a decline in user reputation.
Obviously, the reason why ChildLife fell into the food safety turmoil this time also shows that in the process of brand development, it does not put safety and users first, and such opportunistic tricks will only disappoint users in the end and cause more negative effects on the brand.
Food safety is related to the development of the country, data shows that up to now, China has issued a total of 1,563 national food safety standards, which is enough to prove that the country attaches great importance to food safety. The ChildLife "fish oil DHA peroxide value seriously exceeded" also hopes to bring a wake-up call to various companies.
