Tianjin: Promote intelligent food grade stainless steel containers instead of storage edible oil

How to solve the safety hazard of using plastic packaging edible oil to produce plasticizer? From the "Food and Vegetable Oil Safety Seminar" held by Tianjin Food Safety Association on the 6th, Tianjin will promote intelligent food-grade stainless steel containers instead of plastic barrels to store edible oil in the city.

It is understood that this kind of cloud-based CNC stainless steel oil storage tank replaces the traditional plastic barrel (can). Both the supply and demand sides can understand the oil quantity and oil temperature in time through the mobile computer and so on, ensuring the safety and freshness of the oil product, saving and enhancing efficiency. According to the national food industry annual oil consumption of about 17 million tons, saving packaging costs of 4.76 billion yuan, reducing barrel fuel consumption of 8,500 tons, reducing losses up to 51 million yuan.

The quality and safety of edible oils, involving excessive levels of antioxidants, indicators of aflatoxin, heavy metal pollution, pesticide residues, etc., due to the large use of plastic drums (cans) in packaging, the increase of phthalates in plastic materials Plasticizers can enter grease during the storage process of fats and oils, endangering human health.

Recently, the State Council Food Safety Office and other 14 departments jointly issued the "Opinions on Improving the Quality and Safety of the Catering Industry": "The containers for storing and packaging food should be clean and harmless, and plastic products containing plasticizers should not be used to store grease and Oils and fats, alcoholic beverages. Food-grade stainless steel containers, tools and equipment are encouraged."

“Intelligent stainless steel oil storage tanks ensure the safety of oil storage, and at the same time, the packaging and management costs of oils and fats are greatly reduced, which is more than one item.” Wang Jian, a grease expert at China Merchants Green Technology Development Co., Ltd. said. At the meeting, a food factory in Tianjin introduced the cost changes after using stainless steel cans. Their annual consumption of cooking oil is about 1,400 tons. After using intelligent stainless steel tanks, the procurement cost is reduced by 392,000 yuan per year, the labor cost is saved by 180,000 yuan, and the wall loss is reduced by 46,200 yuan. 820,000 yuan, achieved savings and efficiency and green and environmentally friendly harvest.
