赛百味称中国在售食品不含漂白剂|赛百味|漂白剂|食品_新闻资讯

　　本报讯 (记者 蔺丽爽)昨日，据中新社报道，全球连锁快餐业者Subway(赛百味)的面包内因含有化学物质偶氮二甲酰胺(Azodicarbonamide)，于美国时间2月6日自主宣布停用此成分。昨晚，赛百味在其中国官方网站回应称：中国所售产品不含此物质。

　　据媒体报道，赛百味方面承认在北美出售的食物中有Azodiacarbonamide化学成分。这是一种面粉漂白剂，也被用于瑜伽垫和鞋底，在欧盟、澳大利亚等地被明令禁止用于食物。世卫组织曾将它与呼吸、过敏和哮喘等联系在一起。

　　该消息被网友描述成“赛百味承认食物中有鞋底成分”，在微信、微博中被不断转发，引发部分消费者担忧。

　　究竟消费者吃的赛百味三明治里有漂白物质吗？昨晚，赛百味中国在其官方网站回应称：“中国区面包中不存在偶氮二甲酰胺这一成分。虽然该添加剂的使用已获得美国政府部门的批准，美国的赛百味餐厅仍已经开始去除偶氮二甲酰胺。”该网站还挂出一个赛百味供应商北京百嘉宜食品有限公司发出的英文声明，也声称中国出售的面包不含偶氮二甲酰胺。

　　据相关专家介绍，偶氮二甲酰胺具有氧化和漂白的效果，通常添加在面粉中作为增筋剂，加强面筋的弹性与韧性。联合国食品法典委员会(Codex)也将其列为合法食品添加物，例如我国台湾地区目前限量标准比照Codex的45ppm，即每公斤面粉添加不得超过45毫克。虽为合法使用，但若商家超量添加偶氮二甲酰胺，仍可依“食品安全卫生管理法”开罚3万到300万元新台币。

　　北京店员不知偶氮二甲酰胺为何物

　　昨日，北京青年报记者走访了赛百味国贸店、燕莎奥特莱斯店等，餐牌上写着顾客可选的面包品种有4个，分别是意大利白面包、全麦面包、奶香酪面包和蜂蜜燕麦面包。当有顾客询问店方“面包里有没有漂白剂”，售货员均表示并不了解偶氮二甲酰胺为何物，也未听说其在北美地区停用。文/本报记者 蔺丽爽

　　针对偶氮二甲酰胺的不同观点

　　美国：偶氮二甲酰胺通过美国FDA审查，属于“公认安全”的食品添加剂，面粉中的最大使用量是45ppm。

　　英国：英国卫生安全局将偶氮二甲酰胺视为致呼吸敏感物，认为其在工作场所的存在可能诱发哮喘。含此物质的产品应标注R42标签，即“吸入可能造成敏感”。

　　世界卫生组织：有限的动物实验表明偶氮二甲酰胺被动物吸入或摄入后，大部分不被吸收，并快速通过粪便被排出，对实验动物的急性毒性较低，不会对皮肤、眼睛及呼吸道造成刺激。没有足够的研究证据表明偶氮二甲酰胺能诱发导致哮喘及其他呼吸道症状的发生，也可能使暴露在偶氮二甲酰胺中的工人皮肤敏感，其对其他系统的有害性则未研究。
