香港消委會驗出市面58款餅卷類食品,包括蛋卷、蝴蝶酥、曲奇、杏仁條等,發現35款樣本含污染物氯丙二醇(3-MCPD),長期攝入可損害腎臟功能及影響雄性(男性)生殖系統,亦有多款曲奇含基因物。實際上,在美國或許也有一些這樣的品牌在市場上銷售。
測試中氯丙二醇(3-MCPD)含量最高的樣本為「泰昌餅家」蝴蝶酥,每公斤有780微克,其次為每公斤含669微克的「LU Palmito L’Original Sweet Dry Biscuit」。香港現時對此未有規管,根據歐洲食品安全局建議,人體每公斤體重可攝入2微克,即一名60公斤成年人,每日攝取量不應多於120微克,以「泰昌餅家」蝴蝶酥為例,進食154克,即20塊就會超出建議標準。
測試中有40款曲奇含基因致癌物環氧丙醇,最高含量者為「元朗榮華」,每公斤含1900微克;在非預先包裝或獲豁免營養標籤的預先包裝樣本中,環氧丙醇含量最高的是無印良品的Oats Crunch Sable Hazehut,每公斤1100微克。另外亦有42款含基因致癌物丙烯酰胺,最高含量者為「Sainsbury’s」,每公斤含340微克。由於兩者為基因致癌物,世衞不能為其釐定安全攝取量,建議盡量少攝取為上。
消費者選購及食用曲奇和甜酥餅時,還須留意以下重點:
– 除留意包裝上的產品描述、配料及營養標籤,還須確保產品沒有過期;
– 存放曲奇和甜酥餅在陰涼位置,避免陽光直射,食用後應盡快將包裝密封,以免受潮;
– 保持均衡飲食,減低因偏食而攝入大量污染物的機會,同時亦須避免攝入過量糖、鈉和飽和脂肪酸等營養素。
Hi 美寶,
We like your Morning LA 5-7 am so much, it is our good company on our way to work and listening to your program becomes our habit and a must. Thank you very much for sharing with us a lot of good information, traffic, music, entertainment, health and so on in the early morning. But, we recently found that you have only one hour from 6-7am program now. Is it possible to resume to 5-7 schedule?
Thank you,
Brain and Wing
