Food metal detector allows consumers to eat safe food

Diseases are imported from the mouth, and food safety has always been an issue that everyone pays attention to. Food safety is also a subject that specializes in ensuring food hygiene and edible safety in the process of food processing, storage, and sales, reducing hidden diseases and preventing food poisoning. It's time to know something about food metal detector.

Why need food metal detector

In southern China, rice and its products are the staple food of the masses. Rice is easily polluted, accumulating heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium, which endanger human health. Guangxi and other regions now have the ability to quickly determine mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium and other heavy metals in rice.

Maybe you think that you do not eat rice as your staple food in the north, and you are secretly happy with it. The north is dominated by pasta, and wheat is also an important food crop. Similarly, wheat has the same problems, and they have the same dangers. Although the proportion of China's wheat production being polluted by heavy metals is very small, only local areas have detected excessive heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. However, more and more studies have shown that heavy metal pollution such as lead and cadmium in wheat has shown a trend of gradual expansion and aggravation year by year, and sufficient attention must be paid. The main sources of heavy metals in wheat production are air and soil pollution and sewage irrigation.

​

Lead is the most toxic heavy metal documented in the literature. Its pollution can directly affect human health, and children are especially sensitive to lead pollution. Cadmium is more toxic. The IEC 61196-4  air and food contaminated by cadmium are harmful to the human body. After being absorbed by the human body, it can accumulate in the liver or kidneys and cause harm, especially the kidney damage. People have a clearer understanding and understanding of the risk of lead pollution in some chemical products such as paint. However, with the development of industrialization and urbanization, heavy metal pollution such as lead and cadmium can come from multiple channels such as air, water, soil, and agricultural products like pesticides and azamethiphos insecticide into the food chain, bring potential harm to human health. Therefore, a food metal detector is essential for food industry to provide people with safe food.

Source of heavy metals

Heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, bismuth, nickel, selenium, vanadium, gold, platinum, silver, etc.) pollute them mainly from mining and smelting processes, industrial waste, tannery wastewater, textile factory wastewater, Domestic garbage (such as batteries, cosmetics). These heavy metals have direct physiological toxicity to humans and animals.

Sources of heavy metals in rice 

Lead and cadmium are all toxic heavy metals that can enter the human body through the food chain to deposit and affect the functions of human liver, hematopoiesis, kidneys and other organs. So where does the heavy metals in rice come from? In addition to heavy metal pollution sources from the heavy chemical industry, the abuse of agricultural inputs, exogenous pollution, and pollution from the breeding industry have gradually become the "culprits" of heavy metal pollution in agricultural products.

At present, there are no national or industry standards specifically for the determination of arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, and chromium on rice. According to the traditional test method, the determination and digestion process requires full intervention, the amount of reagents is large, and it is not easy to complete the digestion, the cumbersome steps will bring pollution, and the blank value is high. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a rapid measurement method that can carry out early warning monitoring and risk assessment of heavy metals in damaged rice on a large-scale and random basis.

At present, the relevant departments have not mandated rice manufacturers to conduct heavy metal index testing on rice and products. Therefore, in the rice sold in supermarkets, farmer's markets and street stalls, whether heavy metals exceed the standard, the public cannot tell with the naked eye.

It is best for ordinary people to change brands of rice frequently. Don't eat rice from a certain place or brand for a long time. Only choose rice from different places and brands to reduce some risks. In addition, you can also buy a small food metal detector by yourself to detect the metal content of the rice, fruits and vegetables you bought.

Here are nice metal detectors for food for your option

Nutraceuticals Metal Detector

It can be used in food, medicine, aquatic products, toys, clothing, shoemaking, chemicals, leather industry. If you are frozen food manufacturer, such as frozen cowpea, iqf organic cauliflower, frozen bamboo shoot strips or frozen sea food, shrip, fish, etc,. This metal detector is widely used to inspect frozen food additives, you can buy one for your products. 

Cereals Metal Detector

High-precision small metal detector like the cereals metal detector is widely used for food, milk powder, medicines, plastics, chemicals and so on.

Almost the food saled in the shop markets is through strict process, after all, the staff in strict food process are required to wear FFP2 filter half protective health face masks their factory provide. And your gasoline of your 150cc electric motorcycle is not wasted.

Not only agricultural product companies, but also frozen food companies, etc., all need to buy a food metal detector to improve the safety factor of food, improve the quality of corporate products, and let consumers eat safe and assured food, fruits and vegetables, etc.!
