Recently, the saying that "flour contains talcum powder" has been circulating on the Internet. It is rumored that "flour from Pingdu Liangjin Flour Mill is adulterated with talc powder", and there are texts and pictures to prove it.

The reporter checked relevant reports and found that this incident actually occurred in 2005. At that time, the Pingdu City Public Security Bureau and the Quality Supervision Department conducted an investigation and handling in accordance with the law. In 2007, the owner of the flour mill demolished the factory building, sold off the equipment, and the factory ceased to exist.

In 2016, the "Qingdao Market Supervision" refuted rumors about online rumors.

However, this incident, which occurred in 2005, was investigated and dealt with that year, and the company involved no longer existed in 2007, has been repeatedly retold and spread. For this reason, in 2016, Qingdao Market Supervision Bureau refuted the rumors through its official public account. Nowadays, not only are old rumors being spread, but some rumors are also adding fuel to the fire and fabricating new content.

For example, in a video circulated online recently, an anchor labeled "Teacher **" said: "Four contains whitening agents, talc, sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, borax, azoformamide and other additives. , which makes people think deeply.”

Is there really so much "technology and hard work" in flour?

Nowadays, the old rumors are spread newly, and a lot of content has been added.

The national standard "Wheat Flour" clearly states: "The raw materials of edible wheat flour can only include wheat and water. In addition, no other auxiliary materials and food additives are allowed to be added." This standard is currently the most widely implemented wheat flour standard and is also the standard for all types of wheat flour production. The "bottom line" and "benchmark" will be officially implemented on January 1, 2023. In other words, regardless of the quality of wheat flour launched after January 1, 2023, the raw materials should only contain wheat and water, without any additives.

So, what is the quality of wheat flour on the market? The State Administration for Market Regulation’s food safety sampling inspection announcement results query system shows that there are 4,292 qualified products related to "wheat flour" and only 53 unqualified products. The main problem of these 53 batches of unqualified products is excessive mycotoxins and additives. Nothing to do.

Searching for "wheat flour" in the State Administration for Market Regulation's food safety sampling announcement results inquiry system showed that there were 4,292 qualified products and only 53 unqualified products.

The main problem with substandard products is excessive mycotoxins and has nothing to do with additives.

All the above show that the shocking statement that "wheat flour contains talc and whitening agents" is untenable and is purely a rumor.

Of course, consumers should purchase wheat flour from formal channels and pay attention to product information and packaging integrity.

Among them, the label content on the packaging bag should include the ingredient list, net content and specifications, the names of producers and distributors, production date and shelf life, food production license number, product standard code and other information. If you find that the information is incomplete or the packaging is damaged, it is not recommended to purchase.
