Is the orange juice machine really clean?
Recently, the regulatory authorities of Shenzhen and Shanghai gave different regulatory opinions on whether the internal components of the auto-selling orange juice machine would “contaminate” orange juice. This has also made the food produced by this type of equipment meet the food safety standards once again become a hot issue. The Beijing Youth Daily reporter visited the city's many auto-selling freshly squeezed orange juice machines and found that there are many questions to be solved.

Aluminum claw "unprotected" contact with orange juice
"Angel Orange" was fined 1.199 million
On January 8 this year, the “Angel Orange” orange juice machine was punished by the Shenzhen Municipal Market Inspection Bureau. The reason was that the “up and down claws” of the orange juice machine inside the orange juice had contacted the orange juice food, but the operator did not do the organic coating. Layer protection does not conform to the national standard.
However, the Shanghai Songjiang District Market Supervision Bureau, where the “Angel's Orange” is registered, was sent to the Shenzhen Municipal Market Inspection Bureau on January 25th in the “Reply on the Transfer of Case Leads of Shanghai Giant Industrial Co., Ltd.” After inspection, the upper and lower claws of the aluminum pieces of the orange juice machine of the "Angel Orange" are in compliance with relevant national standards, and the on-site verification does not touch the acidic foods such as orange juice, and the giants are suspected of violating the Food Safety Law. The relevant behavior of the 》 is not established and the bureau will not file a case.
On February 19th, the Shenzhen market regulator issued a micro article to further inform the matter. In this briefing, the Shenzhen market supervision department introduced the verification method of the simulation experiment in detail, and emphasized that the experimental conclusion is “the upper and lower claws are in contact with the orange juice”. The notification clearly stated that the "Angel Orange" had been confiscated for illegal proceeds of 1.199 million yuan.
On February 21st, "Angel's Orange" announced through the official micro-"from now on, suspend business activities in the Shenzhen market, waiting for the government authorities to respond fairly and fairly." Its operator company said that the matter is in the stage of administrative reconsideration, and there is no latest progress to be notified. At present, "Angel Orange" is still operating normally in other cities.

Popular shopping malls are no shortage of consumers
Fresh oranges added 2 times a day
So what is the health of the current orange juice machine? In the past week, Beijing Youth Daily reporters visited a number of freshly squeezed orange juice machines in Beijing, most of which are located in shopping centers. Although the "Shenzhen Punishment Incident" was heard, the business of this kind of equipment in the Beijing shopping mall is very good.
Beiqing Daily reporters observed in Chaoyang District, Tongzhou District and Fengtai District, and most of the consumers of the currently squeezed orange juice machine are young women and parents with children. 15 yuan / cup, a glass model that promised to extract 5 oranges, so many parents are very impressed.
In some popular shopping malls, customers buy apple juice almost every two or three minutes. In the evenings and holidays, customers who buy orange juice even need to wait in line. The staff said that some large shopping malls need to add 2 or 3 oranges a day to meet the demand.
Some of the customers saw the news that the squeezed orange juice machine might "contaminate" the orange juice, but did not care. Some parents who buy orange juice believe that the current squeezed orange juice is relatively healthy compared to other sugary drinks sold on the market.
Some of them were inadvertently "circling powder". "One time passing by just happened to catch the staff to add oranges to the machine. At that time, the smell of sweetness could not be moved." Ms. Zhang told the reporter. At the same time, she also said that it was because of the process of adding oranges that she was worried about the health of the orange juice machine: "In the ordinary carton, the oranges are placed directly in the machine, and it is not clean and not clean."
Observed
No cleaning equipment in the machine
The straw is also not individually packaged
The reporter of Beiqing Daily also observed the hygienic situation of the freshly squeezed orange juice machine. He observed the process of adding oranges to the staff next to several freshly squeezed orange juice machines: first open the outer casing of the machine and pull out a huge plastic bag at the bottom. Filled with orange peel and pressed orange meat. Then replace the machine with a new plastic bag. After the garbage is cleaned up, the boxes of oranges are coded one by one into the slots in the machine. The reporter noticed that the staff wore masks and gloves throughout the entire process.
When asked if the oranges were cleaned, the staff who added the oranges to the machine said, "The oranges were cleaned before the distribution," and he also said that there was no cleaning equipment inside the machine.
In this regard, the reporter of Beiqing Daily called the "Angel Orange" operating company. The staff of the company said that according to the regulations, the oranges in the machine were required to be cleaned during sorting. When the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked whether the oranges were transported in ordinary and unsealed cardboard boxes and whether secondary pollution was involved, the staff said that the oranges in the machine were “skinned and then extracted”, although the machine demonstration could not be opened. However, the staff suggested that the reporters of Beiqing Daily could judge the oranges before the extraction by separating the juice residue. "Because only orange meat is extracted," the staff said.
It is worth mentioning that the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that in addition to replacing garbage bags and adding oranges, the staff did not perform manual overall cleaning on the inside and outside of the machine. The reporter also noticed that the straw provided by the current orange juice machine was taken from a position with a control door, and the straw itself did not have an outer packaging.
In response to this problem, the staff indicated that the machine would be cleaned daily and that the suction pipe would not be exposed to the source of contamination inside the machine.

Aluminum claws do not increase risk
Standard operation is the key
Will orange juice infiltrate aluminum ions? Two completely different statements made the matter fall into the door of Luo Shengmen.
On February 25th, Dr. Yun, a food engineering doctor, wrote on the shell that the country did not allow aluminum and aluminum alloys to directly contact acidic foods because acid foods would corrode aluminum and release aluminum ions. In the juicer involved, the aluminum alloy is directly in contact with the epidermis of the orange. The orange has a natural wax on the epidermis, which makes the aluminum claws not contact with "acid foods" and will not release aluminum ions. Thereafter, the orange is no longer in contact with the aluminum claws, and the pressed juice does not have aluminum ions due to contact with the aluminum alloy.
It is further stated that whether it is the dye in Shenzhen experimental or the ink in Shanghai, it is assumed that aluminum ions have been released from the aluminum claws. The experiment is to investigate whether these assumed aluminum ions will further enter the orange juice. . The actual situation is that after the aluminum claws are exposed to the orange, the aluminum ions are not corroded. Since it does not occur, it will not increase the risk of aluminum in orange juice.
Therefore, even if the Shenzhen experiment found that there was a stain in the orange juice, it could not explain the problem. If the aluminum alloy part is in contact with the juice during the operation, then no dyeing experiment is required, and it can be directly determined to be a violation.
Regarding health issues, Yun does not care whether the orange juice extracted by this machine is safe, does not depend on the machine itself, but depends on whether the manager regulates the operation: whether the machine is cleaned on time, whether the orange in the machine can keep fresh, etc. .
The industry also said that for the current squeezed orange juice machine, how to avoid bacterial over-standard is a big problem. At present, in addition to relying on ozone sterilization and other technologies to ensure the freshness of the fruit in the machine, other cleaning including equipment is done manually, which may bring risks.
status quo
The nature of the commodity is still inconclusive
Industry is in urgent need of standard
The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that there is no relevant standard for the new format of the current squeezed orange juice machine. Most companies require franchisees to implement standards set by the company.
There is no final conclusion as to whether such goods belong to on-site food or pre-packaged food. Taking some microbiological detection values as an example, the specifications of the above two types of foods are completely different, which also brings operational risks to the enterprise.
However, the reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that on October 17, 2018, the Shanghai Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission issued the "Food Safety Local Standards, Ready-to-Use Food Hygiene (Manufacture and Sale) Hygienic Standards (Draft for Comment)" for prepackaged ready-to-eat foods. The automatic sales have developed more detailed standards, but they have not yet been officially released.
