Guangdong announces multiple batches of food sampling results, with pathogenic bacteria detected in drinking water. How can one drink with more peace of mind? Nowadays, more and more consumers prefer drinking water with the words "spring drink" and "pure". Is this necessarily safe and reliable? Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Administration for Market Regulation has successively released the 30th to 33rd notices on food sampling in 2024. A reporter from Yangcheng Evening News found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa was detected in the drinking water of several common brands, such as Ruishan Tianquan, Alps, and Luhu Mountain, among the unqualified food sampled. This poses a significant health risk for people with weaker immune systems. Why are pathogenic bacteria detected? How to drink water with peace of mind and peace of mind in daily life? According to the 30th to 33rd notices on the "unqualified" brand drinking water safety, the market supervision department of Guangdong Province inspected and judged 3712 batches of various types of food according to food safety standards, and found a total of 59 batches of unqualified samples. The reporter found that the unqualified samples are mainly concentrated in microbial contamination, residues of agricultural and veterinary drugs, heavy metal contamination, and excessive use of food additives beyond the scope and limit. Among them, a total of 6 batches of drinking water products were found to contain Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Specifically, it includes: drinking purified water produced by the Huizhou Daya Bay Jiuwang Pure Water Plant and Weisheng drinking purified water sold by the Huizhou Daya Bay Xinsheng Computer Chain Service Department; The Gemudong Mountain Spring packaged drinking water produced by Huizhou Daya Bay Yongji Drinking Water Co., Ltd. is sold by Huizhou Daya Bay Chuanghao Drinking Water Store (individual industrial and commercial households); Ruishan Tianquan drinking natural spring water with silicic acid produced by Meizhou Ruishan Tianquan Co., Ltd. sold by Ruiquan Food Business Department in Meijiang District, Meizhou City; The Alpine natural drinking spring water produced by Guangdong Shangpin Yongquan Food Co., Ltd. is sold at the Danshui Chunzhiyuan bottled water store in Huiyang District, Huizhou City; The Luhu Mountain natural drinking spring water produced by Meizhou Yuhua Valley Mountain Spring Water Co., Ltd. is sold at Aqiu Mineral Water Store in Meijiang District, Meizhou City. The above sampling results found that Pseudomonas aeruginosa does not meet the national food safety standards, mainly involving two categories: drinking purified water and drinking natural mineral water, and the model is bottled water. It is reported that Pseudomonas aeruginosa, formerly known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is widely distributed in nature. It is a opportunistic pathogen that poses a greater health risk to people with weaker immune systems and can easily cause diseases such as acute intestinal inflammation. Why are pathogenic bacteria detected in bottled drinking water, which is an important source of hydration for many people in their daily lives? The Guangdong Provincial Administration for Market Regulation stated in the notice that the important condition for the existence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a humid environment. The excessive presence of this bacterium may be due to contamination of the product's water source, packaging materials, or cross contamination of the product by personnel, tools, and other production equipment and environment during the production process, as well as incomplete sterilization of the product by disinfection, sterilization, and other production processes. In response, the reporter, as a consumer, called the hotline of the above-mentioned drinking water brand related companies to inquire if they were aware of the situation of unqualified sampling. Meizhou Yuhua Valley Mountain Spring Water Co., Ltd. stated: "The batch of (Luhu Mountain drinking natural spring water) that was sampled came from a sales point below, with a production date of May 2024. At that time, it was stored under the stairs for a long time, and it was raining on the day of the spot check. It is regrettable that such an incident occurred. Later, the factory re inspected it, and third-party departments inspected more than ten batches in the factory and other stores respectively, and there were no problems." Ruishan Tianquan responded by saying: "The batch of (Ruishan Tianquan drinking natural spring water) that was sampled had a production date of May 9, 2024, and one of the five barrels was found to have Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which may be caused by... The transportation process was caused by environmental pollution. Subsequent inspections by relevant departments in Meijiang District at the factory did not encounter similar problems How can we drink water with peace of mind in our daily lives? The reporter learned from relevant information released by market supervision departments in various regions that, on the one hand, consumers should choose drinking water products produced by manufacturers with complete business licenses, food hygiene permits, food production permits, and good credit records. At present, there are many brands of bottled water, mixed with good and bad. When purchasing water, it is necessary to choose products with quality and safety (QS) admission marks, carefully check whether the production date and the label on the bucket lid match, and verify whether the distribution point is authorized by the manufacturer. On the other hand, it is important to develop good drinking habits. For example, bottled water should be consumed as soon as possible after opening and should not be stored for too long. If equipped with a water dispenser, it should be cleaned and disinfected regularly, usually 1-2 times per month in summer and once per month in winter. At present, the Guangdong Provincial Administration for Market Regulation has requested the market supervision departments in their jurisdiction to investigate and handle unqualified food and its producers and operators in a timely manner, order enterprises to investigate the flow of products, take measures such as delisting and recalling unqualified products to control risks, and analyze the reasons for rectification.
