• In 2011, Mengniu Dairy had a tainted milk incident, and the milk was found to have a serious aflatoxin exceeding the standard, with a rate exceeding 140% .
• In July 2013, Guangdong Yayin Le's Prebiotic Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Organic Rice Powder, and other products failed to qualify for the “black list” due to aflatoxin indicators.
• In April 2015, the State Food and Drug Administration found that 7 batches of nutritional rice noodles carcinogen aflatoxin B1 exceeded the standard, mainly from Jiangxi.

With the problem of excessive aflatoxin B1 and M1 in infant food supplements announced by the State Food and Drug Administration in recent years, the general public and government departments have begun to pay more and more attention to the quality and safety of infant food supplements.

Hebei Province - The "Hebei Province Infant Formula Milk Powder Sales Regulations" promulgated and implemented in July this year has clearly defined and defined the regulatory duties of the food safety supervision department and the investigation and punishment of illegal and illegal sales of infant formula milk powder.

Guangdong Province - The electronic traceability system for infant formula milk powder put into use at the end of last year has reached 60% in the province. The places where the infants and young children formula milk powder are sold in various cities can achieve the "scan code identification."

Inner Mongolia - The Food and Drug Administration of the province will focus on strengthening the supervision of the production process of infant formula milk powder according to the "Guidelines for the Inspection of Infant Formula Milk Powder Production Process" to eliminate food safety risks and hidden dangers.

Jiangxi Province - The province's "Jiangxi Province Infant Formulation Grain Flour Production Permit Requirements and Supplementary Requirements " mentioned in the government that the government requires relevant enterprises to increase the self-test aflatoxin B1 in the rice raw material procurement verification and factory inspection. And the company is required to conduct annual comparison test on the aflatoxin B1 self-inspection ability, and the company needs to send the inspection twice a year for the detection of aflatoxin B1 in the infant rice noodles.

Although from the end of last year to the first half of this year, the State Food and Drug Administration of the provinces and municipalities are constantly strengthening the supervision and refinement of infant food supplements, but this does not allow the general public to make domestic rice flour and milk powder in a short period of time. The brand's trust has changed. Jiangxi local infant rice noodle brand was seriously frustrated. At any time, strengthening the quality inspection of its own products is the key to long-term growth and strength of the company, and it has an important impact on the healthy growth of infants and young children in China.

Imagine that if Jiangxi rice noodle production enterprises have done a good job in product quality testing, they will be able to use the main propaganda media of this storm as a springboard in the food and drug inspection, which will become a positive force in most negative textbooks, and promote themselves more truthfully and freely. And expand market share.

"Focus on infant food safety and concern for human health" is the insistence of Prebun , a special kit for Puribang infant rice noodles , with a sensitivity of up to 5ppt, occupying the leading technology in the domestic market. It is expected to make progress together with infant food and food production enterprises across the country, to create a positive corporate image of the quality of infant food supplement products in China, and to protect the flowers of the motherland!
