During the period of epidemics, instant noodles, prepared dishes, etc. have become popular staple foods, and almost every household will buy some for emergencies.

It is precisely because of this that many convenience food factories that were almost unable to survive a few years ago have experienced a second spring in sales in recent years, and have also launched many new types, such as red oil pink skin, Chongqing small Noodles have become internet celebrity foods one after another.

Sales volume has increased, but food safety problems can easily arise! For example, this instant noodle factory in Sichuan received 165 complaints in the three months of the second quarter of this year alone due to problems such as black spots and foreign matter in the instant food it sold!

It is understood that Akuan Food was established in Chengdu, Sichuan in December 2016. It focuses on the research and development, production and sales of new convenience foods. Its main products include instant noodles, instant vermicelli, instant rice noodles, self-heating food . Among them, "Red Oil Noodles" is the flagship product of Akuan Food. In 2020, the annual sales of this product exceeded 400 million yuan.

Prior to this, Akuan Food had been on the Weibo hot search list due to food safety issues. In February this year, some netizens found an unknown black object in the red oil dough of Ah Kuan Food, suspected to be a mouse, which caused heated discussion on the Internet. Subsequently, on-site unpacking and inspection by the relevant regulatory authorities found that the black part of the dough in question was caused by the dough becoming damp and moldy.

In response to the very concentrated complaints about Akuan Food, the Chengdu Municipal Administration for Market Regulation also responded, conducted an administrative interview with Akuan Food in accordance with the law, and urged Akuan Food to make rectifications within a time limit.

Why do foreign objects always appear in its food? The editor guesses that the brand must not have installed a food foreign matter machine on the production line!

In recent years, the global economy has developed rapidly, people's living standards have improved significantly, and the market has paid great attention to food quality and production safety issues, which has promoted the development of the X-ray food inspection equipment market.

X-ray food testing equipment generates X-rays through the equipment and uses the X-ray penetration ability to detect various metal and non-metallic foreign matter mixed in the product.

In addition, the X-ray food foreign matter detector can also perform product missing detection, packaging damage detection, weight detection, etc. X-ray inspection equipment provides food companies with maximum contamination detection sensitivity at very high efficiency.

Common packaging such as plastic containers, cartons, boxes, foil bags, bags and sacks, trays, tubes, pouches, flow packaging, etc., can all be detected.

It can be said that X-ray food inspection machines are very practical for food processing companies and have very wide functions, but they have not been popularized. Why?

The main reason is that X-ray food testing equipment is a high-tech, customized product with a high unit price and high one-time purchase and investment costs.

At present, many food processing companies have a series of problems such as insufficient self-inspection capabilities, incomplete testing equipment configuration, and low testing equipment accuracy, resulting in product indicators that do not meet corresponding standards. The lack of safety awareness in food processing enterprises has also greatly limited the application and popularization of X-ray food testing equipment.

Sichuan Akuan Food’s frequent errors and frequent complaints are undoubtedly caused by the lack of self-discipline in the production and processing process and the incomplete configuration of testing equipment.

It’s not just Ah Kuan Food. Zhong Xuegao, who has been in the spotlight recently, has also been exposed to eating foreign objects. We would like to remind all major brands not to let a small thing make a big gain, raise the threshold of food testing on the production line, and invest in relevant equipment. By safeguarding the food safety of your brand, you can minimize the risk of product recalls, protect consumers from harm, and safeguard your brand reputation!
