Chapter 1434 National Standards
Planted trees next to a landfill.
Today, in addition to the mountains of empty bottles, there are also many empty packaging bags piled up in the open space, and the outside of each packaging bag is printed in English.
"so much?"
Zhang Zian was taken aback. Although he knew that this dog food had already been rolled out, the speed of expansion was beyond his expectation.
"Each brother brings back a copy." Xiao Bai explained.
In order to find out how well this dog food is accepted in the market, Zhang Zian specifically asked Xiaobai to pick up the empty packaging bag of this dog food when the stray dogs picked up bottles from the landfill.
The stray dogs are not too happy, because empty bottles are equal to dog food and chicken legs to them. What is the use of such empty bags? Picking up an extra bottle is worse than picking up an empty bag.
There are almost two to three hundred bags of the same type on the open space, and there will definitely be more in the future.
"What's wrong with this kind of dog food?" Xiaobai didn't understand the use of picking up these empty bags, but he forced the stray dogs to bring back one each.
Zhang Zian picked up an empty bag with a branch, and pondered: "It's hard to say now, but it's better to be careful. If stray dogs pick up this kind of dog food that hasn't been eaten yet, let them not be greedy."
Xiaobai nodded, and passed the order down through his leaders.
At this moment, Zhang Zian's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" He answered the phone.
"Hello? Xiao Zhang? I'm Wei Kang, and the results of the two dog foods you wanted to test before came out." Wei Kang said.
Zhang Zian cheered up, "Well, tell me, I'm listening."
At the same time, he sent two bags of dog food to Wei Kang, one was the domestic dog food that he usually used, and the other was the American dog food that Qi Tong left behind. Both were sent for inspection at the same time as a comparison.
"I know you are most concerned about the conclusion. Let me talk about the test results first. Both dog foods meet the GB/T 31216-2014 full-price pet food (dog food) standard issued by our country. Specifically, this American dog food, in The data on main indicators such as crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, trace elements and lysine are better than those of another domestic dog food, and on the hygiene indicators you particularly emphasized, the content of heavy metals such as fluorine, arsenic and lead are all higher than those of another domestic dog food. Less than or equal to the national standard, aflatoxin and the total number of bacteria are less than the national standard, no salmonella was detected,
The microbial community meets the national standard. I will take a picture of the detailed report and send it to you later. "
Wei Kang read out the inspection report given by his university colleagues according to the script.
"That is to say... everything is normal?" Zhang Zian confirmed hesitantly.
In fact, he had already expected it, because this dog food has legal import and export procedures, which means that this product has passed the quarantine of China Customs and complies with the provisions of Chinese laws.
"Yes." Wei Kang replied affirmatively, "Another domestic dog food is also qualified, but most of the indicators are slightly worse than this imported dog food. Of course, the school's food safety and engineering majors are not top-notch in the country. Yes, I have never done a dog food inspection before, if you are worried, I can help you contact other more professional institutions."
Zhang Zian was a little reconciled, but what if he was not reconciled? This time, Wei Kang asked his colleagues from the school to help with the inspection. Seeing Wei Kang's face, the colleagues will definitely be more distracted than usual. Even if they change to other institutions, they will probably come to the same conclusion.
"What about...toxins and bacteria other than aflatoxin and salmonella?" he asked.
Wei Kang asked: "What do you mean? There are so many types of toxins and bacteria, and it is impossible to detect each of them. Only these two types and the total number of bacteria are stipulated in the national standard, so I can only say that according to the test As a result, both dog foods meet national standards."
Zhang Zian was speechless.
Yes, there are so many types of toxins and bacteria. If you don't point out a specific name, how can the inspector check it?
Moreover, Wei Kang emphasized that legally speaking, this American dog food complies with Chinese laws. The total number does not exceed the standard, and there is no way to take this dog food from a legal point of view.
Zhang Zian understood that this was Wei Kang's kindness, and reminded him not to do something he was not sure about.
"I understand, Professor Wei, but I still have a question - can it detect the main meat component of this American dog food?" He asked second best.
There was the sound of pages turning over the phone.
Wei Kang said: "This has also been tested. The meat composition of American dog food is relatively complex. At least four categories of chicken, duck, fish, and beef have been detected. Chicken contains turkey, and beef contains bison. The fish consisted of salmon and cod, in addition to ... there was some finely ground meat meal, which was not detected from which animal."
As a dog food, complex meat ingredients are not a bad thing. Many dog foods even use this as a selling point to diversify meat sources to ensure balanced nutrition.
As for the meat powder, it is probably ground bones and internal organs. This is also a routine operation. Many medium and high-priced imported dog foods also contain meat powder, but they are not marked. The price of this dog food is so cheap. It is impossible to say that there is no meat powder. of.
Zhang Zian had nothing else to ask. It seemed that he was overthinking. Maybe this American dog food is really a good product with high quality and low price.
He previously suspected that the ingredients of this dog food may include the meat of stray cats and dogs. Now it seems that although this possibility cannot be completely ruled out, the probability is already very low.
Besides, even if it includes the meat of stray cats and dogs, so what? The national standard does not stipulate that cat and dog meat cannot be used to make dog food. At most, the manufacturer is condemned for being immoral.
"Do you see anything else?" Wei Kang asked.
"No, Professor Wei, thank you for your help." Zhang Zian thanked.
"It's nothing, it's just a little effort. Anyway, the laboratory is not busy during the summer vacation." Wei Kang said with a smile, "Then I will hang up first, and I will contact you if I have something to do."
"it is good."
Zhang Zian hung up the phone, silently staring at a large piece of empty bags on the open space.
"How is it? Do you want to bring back such empty bags every day in the future?" Xiaobai didn't want to disturb him when he saw that his expression was not very good, but it is not easy for his brothers to pick up waste in hot weather. .
"No, that's enough."
Zhang Zian shook his head, forced a smile, "It seems that not everyone can be Sherlock Holmes, it's a waste of time and money to catch rumors because of a little groundless suspicion."
Vladimir comforted: "It doesn't matter. Bold assumptions and careful verification have always been the strategic purpose of our work. Besides, these dog legs are idle if they are idle!"
