Tested: Dark side of the mooncakes
SIX kinds of mooncake have been found to be substandard by China's top quality regulator following an examination of nearly 300 different products just days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
High bacterial content was found in mooncakes produced by several companies, including Lanzhou Tianshengyuan and Changchun Jiangbo Food Co, the regulator said.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said 13 state-level food-testing organizations had checked 299 kinds of mooncakes produced by 289 companies in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.
Test results show that 293 kinds of mooncakes met quality standards. The mooncakes were examined according to quality indicators such as chemical composition, hygiene standards, food additives, packaging, ingredients and bacterial counts, the watchdog said.
It also required local bureaus to take necessary measures to solve the problems and ordered the companies involved to correct their mistakes.
Mooncakes are traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival which this year falls on September 12.
