Watson’s drinking water doubled over the standard

Recently, the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Quality Supervision announced on the website the “Ninth Batch of Food Quality Supervision and Inspection in Guangzhou Production in 2013”, including 18 batches of unqualified beverage products, and the total number of Watts 18.9 L/barrel of distilled water exceeded 80 Doubled the "black list."

Not coincidentally, in September, Watson’s batch of drinking mineral water (18.9L/barrel, date of production 20130424C) was “on the list” due to the total number of colonies. Experts said that the total number of colonies exceeded the standard of water or drinks may cause vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms, but the taste is generally more difficult to distinguish. Yesterday, Watsons related sources told this newspaper that the company is further understanding and follow-up on this matter. There is no exact investigation result.

Beverage products became the "stricken area" for this sampling. Among them, the “Denglaoliangcha” granules produced by Guangzhou Zhenhe Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Taiping Branch on June 20, 2013 were detected to have more than 10 times the standard value of mold. In addition, the conditional pathogen “Pseudomonas aeruginosa” was detected in the “Jiezhen” brand of drinking natural mineral water (18.9 liters/barrel) produced at the Guangzhou Baiyun Selenium Mineral Water Plant on July 3, 2013. Out. Reporters found out that the pathogenic bacteria can cause clinical problems such as sepsis, respiratory infections, and endocarditis. At the same time, Watson's bottled distilled water was also on the list, while the drinking water of Luyuan Mountain Spring, Gaoshanyue, Shuihui Mo, Tea Spring, Qingshuiju, Nongxia Spring, Yicuishan Spring, and Fenghuang Mountain were all detected to have exceeded the standard. Or excessive yeast.

"The total number of colonies is an important measure of the quality of drinking water, and the total content is indicative of the degree of microbiological contamination of drinking water." Zhou Yong, Managing Director of Dragon Capital, said in an interview with the "International Finance" reporter that according to regulations Distilled water is tested in accordance with GB 19298-2003 "Hydraulic Standard for Drinking Water in Bottles (Barrels)", in which the limit of total colonies cannot exceed 20. In the process of enterprise reproduction, due to incomplete disinfection of barrels and lids, incomplete cleaning of production equipment, or insufficient cleanliness of the workshop, it will lead to excessive standards. The quality supervision department is inspected from the production link, and the total number of colonies still detected is problematic. Watsons needs to investigate carefully what the reasons are. However, it is understood that although there are “microbial counts” in the microbiological indicators of the current national standards for water, there are no such requirements for agencies including the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
