Recently, a confinement center in Zhejiang was "famous". According to the description in the hot topic, the confinement center of "Ningbo Branch of Zhejiang Ciyue Health Management Co., Ltd." was fined 30,000 yuan in production and operation by relevant departments for "illegal addition of drugs in production and operation". The news about has caused extensive discussions among many netizens.
It is reported that when the Market Supervision Bureau of Haishu District, Ningbo City found that during the inspection, the kitchen of the confinement center of motherwort , Ophiopogon japonicus, Codonopsis pilosula and other Chinese medicines were placed in one can of . The client had a "Qi and Blood Soup" on the package service project. Codonopsis pilosula and tangerine peel were added to the chicken soup, and the mother was given . Codonopsis currently does not belong to a substance that is both a food and a Chinese medicinal material (food and drug substance).
, and many netizens expressed their doubts, because many people currently put Codonopsis pilosula at home, but why are they punished by stewing chicken soup with Codonopsis after confinement?
"Codonopsis pilosula is a medicinal material, so is red dates a medicinal material?"
"Traditional medicine emphasizes the same origin of medicine and food. Can't Codonopsis be regarded as an ingredient?"
"I don't know much, isn't it very common to stew chicken soup with Codonopsis?"
"I don't know much. Isn't it very common to stew chicken soup with Codonopsis?"
"Doing Codonopsis pilosula is often used to make soup at home. Codonopsis pilosula is a very common medicinal material in Guangdong soup and medicinal soup."
...
In response to this matter, Liu Rong, a doctor at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic of Beijing Tongzhou Beiyuan, said that Chinese medicinal materials do not all belong to the category of "food and drug quality". If a merchant makes Codonopsis pilosula into a food commodity and makes a profit, it is illegal .
and according to the official website of the National Health Commission (see the "Notice on the Pilot Work of the Management of Substances of 9 Materials, including Codonopsis, 9 Materials, etc., according to the Traditional Food and Traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials", Codonopsis has not yet been determined as food and drug quality. It is only that has been included in the pilot work of food and drug quality production and operation in Gansu (9 regions), Hubei, Hebei and Qinghai Provinces. merchants who were punished this time are in Zhejiang Province and do not belong to the pilot area.
and according to the official website of the National Health Commission Announcement (see "Notice on the Pilot Work of the Management of 9 Substances such as Codonopsis Pipelines in the Traditional Food and Traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials"), the article clearly states that "pregnant women, breastfeeding women, infants and young children are not recommended for consumption". Therefore, the author believes that adding Codonopsis to chicken soup in confinement centers does constitute illegal addition of drugs, and it is not unfair to be punished.
Although Chinese traditional Chinese medicine has had the saying that "medicine and food are the same" since ancient times, it is believed that many foods are drugs, and there is no absolute dividing line between them, and they can also be prevented and treated. Disease. The book " Huangdi Neijing Taisu " in the Tang Dynasty period wrote: "Eating on an empty stomach is food, and patients eat it as medicine." In folk diet, there is indeed a tradition of using medicinal materials such as Codonopsis and pilosula to stew soup for body supplementation. However, "medicine and food are of the same origin" does not mean that the two can be confused. "is three parts poisonous". Some medicinal materials can be eaten, but not all medicinal materials can be used as food .
According to the report of " Yangzi Evening News ", Nanjing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital In an interview with reporters, Yang Xin, deputy chief Chinese medicine practitioner, said, "Chinese herbal medicines will produce new metabolites after being metabolized by the intestines of pregnant women. These metabolites may enter the fetal circulation through the placenta and affect fetal development. For , , for , , lactation, , the fat-soluble active substances in Chinese herbal medicines can be dissolved in milk and granted to fetal through breastfeeding." food and drug quality should comply with the catalog of both food and Chinese medicinal materials released by relevant national departments, and make safe choices strictly in accordance with the principle of material selection. It is not recommended that pregnant women eat at will without the guidance of professional doctors.
Dr. Yang also said that many pregnant women will try some traditional Chinese medicine and food supplement prescriptions to supplement nutrition at the suggestion of their friends, but everyone has different physical constitutions, and the premise is that they need to measure the body and divide the prescription. Generally speaking, whether it is a pregnant woman or a pregnant woman, you do not need to eat Chinese herbal medicines for nourishment when you have no symptoms. If the mother with Qi deficiency , Yin deficiency , Yang deficiency , Blood deficiency , you can use it appropriately under the guidance of a doctor and use the medicine according to their respective constitutions. If the syndrome differentiation is incorrect and the random supplementation of may cause bias in qi, blood, yin and yang, which will harm the body. At the same time, you should not be too hasty to take the supplement, and you must proceed step by step.
Perhaps, in the near future, Codonopsis will also have the identity of food and can be used to make soup openly. However, before this, catering companies were not allowed to use it for food production and operation at will. This is not only an inherent requirement of the law, but also a responsibility for consumers' food safety.
In addition, consumers should also pay attention to that is not all "confinement centers" that are "professional" and "conscientious" institutions. Professional institutions should pay attention to the various announcements issued by the National Health Commission. "The " Codonopsis pilosula is not recommended to be consumed by pregnant women, breastfeeding women, infants and other special groups" such obvious explanation will not be ignored. Adding Chinese medicinal materials such as Codonopsis pilosula to feed mothers in food, aiming to raise the "price of service" and there is also a suspicion of "not honest management".
