中国の常識は世界の非常識 食用油をタンクの洗浄すら行わず原油タンカーで運輸 日常化か？

 

The Chinese government says it will investigate allegations that fuel tankers have been used to transport cooking oil after carrying toxic chemicals without being cleaned properly between loads.
The controversy has spread online as social media users express concerns about potential food contamination.
Tankers used for transporting fuel were found to be carrying food products, like cooking oil and syrup, and were not decontaminated correctly, according to state-run Beijing News.
Transporting cooking oil in contaminated fuel trucks was said to have been so widespread it was considered an “open secret” in the industry, according to one driver quoted by the newspaper.
The case is the latest blow to public trust in the Chinese government's ability to enforce food safety standards.
The controversy has been the top trending topic on Chinese social media in recent days.
On Weibo - the country’s equivalent to X, formerly known as Twitter - there have been tens of thousands of posts about the scandal, which have racked up millions of views.
“Food safety is the most important issue,” a comment liked more than 8,000 times said.
Another comment said: “As an ordinary person, surviving in this world itself is an amazing thing already.”
Many compared it to the 2008 Sanlu milk scandal, in which some 300,000 children became sick and at least six died after drinking powdered milk contaminated with high levels of the industrial chemical melamine.
“This is much worse than the Sanlu scandal, it can’t be settled with just [a] statement,” a user commented.
In China, tankers are not limited to any particular type of goods so can, in theory, carry food products straight after transporting coal-based oils.
The claims involve several major Chinese companies including a subsidiary of state-owned Sinograin and the Hopefull Grain and Oil Group.
Sinograin has said it is investigating whether food safety regulations were being followed correctly.
The company also said it will immediately suspend the use of any trucks that are found to have fallen foul of the the rules.
A Hopefull Grain representative told government-controlled newspaper Global Times that it was conducting a "thorough self-inspection".
The Chinese government has said food safety officials will carry out the investigation into the allegations.
They have promised to punish any companies and individuals involved in wrongdoing.
They have also vowed to immediately publish the findings of their investigation.
"Illegal enterprises and relevant responsible persons will be severely punished in accordance with the law and will not be tolerated," state broadcaster CCTV said.
At the local level, both the Hebei and Tianjin provincial governments have said they are also looking into the matter.

中国、食用油の燃料トラック輸送で汚染疑惑　当局が調査と報道
2024年7月9日午後 3:01 HST4日前更新

［北京　９日　ロイター］ - 中国国務院の食品安全委員会は、食用油の輸送に燃料タンクローリーが使用されたとの疑惑が浮上し、食品汚染の恐れがあるとして調査を開始する。国営メディアが９日に報じた。
国内紙の新京報は先週、穀物備蓄大手の中国儲備糧管理総公司（シノグレイン）の燃料タンクローリーが、食用油、大豆油、シロップなどの食品を洗浄を毎回行わずに輸送していたと伝えた。
国営の中国中央テレビ（ＣＣＴＶ）は、食品安全委が国家発展改革委員会（ＮＤＲＣ）や国家食糧物資備蓄局などと特別協議を開き、調査を行うと報道。「違法企業と関連する責任者は法律にのっとり厳重に処罰され、容認されない」と伝えた。
新京報は食用油問題は輸送業界の「公然の秘密」とし、ＣＣＴＶは「毒を盛るのに等しい」と伝えた。
シノグレインは先の声明で、倉庫に出入りする運送業者が食品安全規則を順守しているか調査すると説明している。
