China announced a ban on durian imports and tightened control measures after discovering Basic Yellow 2 and Cadmium residues in imported durian. Therefore, Vietnam's durian exports in the first 2 months of the year decreased by about 80% compared to the same period last year.
Therefore, in the case of durian from Vietnam with Basic Yellow 2 and Cadmium reserves, it must be seriously handled to regain the trust of the Chinese market.
Talking to Lao Dong, Master Nguyen Phuoc Tuyen - former Director of the Agricultural Extension Center of Dong Thap province - said that Basic Yellow 2 is a dye used in many different industries. This is a substance that can cause cancer and affect liver and kidney function, so it is strictly prohibited for use in food or consumer products. Mr. Tuyen said directly: "This chemical is used by gardeners and processing plants for the purpose of dyeing to create a unique durian peel with beautiful yellow color".
Cadmium waste is due to sour soil after farming, farmers fertilize the following acidic biochemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulphat, potassium sulphat, super lion...
If you are sick, you must treat it immediately so that durian can achieve food safety and hygiene quality in the most demanding markets.
How to handle it is to detoxify durian.
It is strictly forbidden to use Basic Yellow 2 to dye durian peels. Clearing Cadmium in durian gardens. Establish a facility for testing the presence of banned substances according to Chinese standards before export.
Any gardener or business that does not meet food hygiene and safety standards cannot survive, that is natural. Not only is the export route blocked, business is sluggish, affecting the health of consumers, it will lose the trust of the domestic market.
Strictness in controlling the quality of imported fruits from China is also a good thing, requiring domestic gardeners and product manufacturers to do business properly, meeting the product quality standards of advanced countries.
The agricultural and environmental sector, along with localities and management agencies, has stepped in, supporting gardeners and businesses to detoxify durian so that the export route can be reopened.
