Statistics also showed that the problems of unqualified samples were related to the detection of illegally added substances, excessive pesticide and veterinary drug residues, other chemical pollutants, biological toxins, excessive use of food additives, microbial contamination, quality indicators and non-compliance issues. Among them, there are 9 batches of unqualified problems with quality indicators such as acid value and peroxide value.


In addition, 10 batches of unqualified samples were from online sales, including Taobao, JD, Tmall and Pinduoduo.
