According to CCTV, the EU food safety agency recently reported that ethylene oxide, a first-class carcinogen, was detected in instant noodles exported by a foreign enterprise to Germany in January and March this year, up to 148 times the EU standard value. At present, the agency has issued a notice to European countries to stop sales and recall relevant products.
Ethylene oxide (C₂H₄O) is a flammable gas with a somewhat sweet odor. Exposure to ethylene oxide may cause headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, breathing difficulty, drowsiness, weakness, exhaustion, eye and skin burns, frostbite, and reproductive effects. Workers may be harmed from exposure to ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide is largely used to sterilize materials and instruments used in surgery and for medical devices, but it is not allowed for food use in Europe.
Ethylene oxide is regulated in food by Reg. (EC) 396/2005, which defines it as the sum of ethylene oxide and 2-chloro-ethanol (a related product of its) expressed in ethylene oxide.
Ethylene oxide is regulated in food by Reg. (EU) 2015/868, Ethylene oxide in herbal infusions is <0.1 mg/kg.
Through detection, we found that soybean isoflavones contain ethylene oxide. It was found that the residual ethylene oxide in soybean isoflavones from soybean germ was about 0.2mg/kg; The residue of ethylene oxide in soybean isoflavones from soybean meal meets European standards.
As the best supplier of soybean isoflavones in China, we first promise not to be exposed to ethylene oxide during production and transportation. At the same time, through our efforts, we have controlled the residue of ethylene oxide within the requirements.
The attachment provides our third-party test report. As the best supplier of soybean isoflavones in China, we are willing to provide you with safe products and high-quality services in a timely and efficient manner.
