Ministry of Health pays attention to "milk powder-induced infant precocious puberty" incident
(Reporter Wu Peng Wei Mingyan Liao Ailing) Last night, Ministry of Health spokesman Deng Haihua told this newspaper that at present, the Ministry of Health has also taken note of relevant media reports and has paid attention to this matter. There is no evidence that infant formulae caused by milk powder are precocious According to the "Health Times" report, parents suspected that the consumption of powdered milk caused several infants to become precocious. But Chen Junshi, a researcher at the Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that there is no evidence that milk powder causes infant precocious puberty. He said that according to the current media reports, three infants and young children had symptoms of precocious puberty, although their parents recalled that children did not eat anything other than milk powder, but the causes of precocious puberty were very complicated. Existing samples It is difficult to determine the causal relationship between powdered milk and precocious puberty. "This is different from the situation of melamine in that year. Before the investigation of melamine milk powder, only one place in Gansu province reported abnormalities after several hundred infants and young children were consumed with milk powder," said Chen Junshi. However, as of press time, it is still unclear whether the culprit that caused several infants to be “precocious puberty†is Shengyuan brand milk powder. If milk powder causes baby precocious puberty, some experts also analyzed the possible reasons. If hormones may come from milk production Yesterday afternoon, Feng Ping, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) that has long been concerned about food safety issues, believes that it is unlikely that hormones will be added during the production of milk powder. This view was approved by the director of the China Dairy Industry Association, Wang Dingmian: “The addition of hormones to the products of dairy companies does not have any commercial value for the company.†Wang Dingmian believes that hormones are not allowed to be added to milk powder. It has been stipulated that although hormones can be detected by instruments, it is not a mandatory item at the moment. He suspects that if milk is contaminated with hormones, it may originate from the milk production stage. The problem may lie in the breeding environment. Manufacturers should conduct milk production. Thorough inspection. According to Wang Dingmian, hormones may be used in the preparation of dairy cows, and hormones may also be used in the breeding of dairy cows, such as the breeding of dairy cows. He said that breeding does not advocate the use of hormones. Some countries are even forbidden, but even imported raw materials may be violated by some farmers. Hormone testing is a blind spot in the domestic milk powder industry In addition, Wang Dingmian said in an interview with the Fenghuang.com financial reporter that the detection and monitoring of hormones is a blind spot in the domestic milk powder industry. "The emergence of hormones, the main problem is the supply of milk, but producers and regulators also have an inescapable responsibility." Last night, Hou Caiyun, a professor at the Food College of China Agricultural University, introduced that in accordance with the current national standards for powdered milk, this item of hormones is not included in the scope of detection, which should be the detection of drugs. According to reports, the national standard for milk powder is mainly to do some routine indicators of testing, testing the milk powder should contain substances, and hormones do not belong to these items. Therefore, the national quality inspection agency could not perform hormone testing on milk powder. Hou Caiyun believes that hormones are drugs and can be tested by the drug administration department.
