[The State Administration for Market Regulation issued two supplementary inspection methods for the illegal addition of new derivatives to food] November 7th, reporters learned today that the State Administration for Market Regulation has issued two supplementary food inspection methods for the illegal addition of new derivatives of phenols (phentins) and bisacodyl-like substances in food. Phenol and bisacodyl substances have irritating and diarrheal effects, and long-term intake may cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, electrolyte imbalance, and liver and kidney damage. As law enforcement continues to intensify, some criminals are evading supervision by synthesizing new derivatives of the two types of substances and adding them to foods such as jelly, preserves, candies, and beverages to falsely claim their efficacy. The testing method introduced this time can effectively identify a variety of new derivatives of the two types of substances, providing technical support for supervision and law enforcement, conviction and sentencing.
