硼砂係致癌物???
穗檢硼砂伊麵「老鼠都不吃」[/size=4]

(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)內地頻揭發食品安全問題,警方稱今年廣州有約兩百個食品加工黑工廠被查獲,約五十個犯罪集團被偵破,其中廣州天河區一工廠給「龍蝦伊麵」加過量致癌物質「硼砂」,只為麵更彈牙。該工廠環境極其髒亂,散落在地上的麵「老鼠都不吃」。

  廣州警方近日通報,稱今年一至十一月共破獲近兩百宗食品類犯罪案,偵破近五十個作案集團,搗毀約兩百個黑工場,刑事拘留近四百人。而天河區生產「非一般」牌伊麵「黑作坊」尤為惡劣,為讓龍蝦伊麵吃時更彈牙而添加過量致癌物質「硼砂」。

  抽檢結果顯示,該品牌成品、半成品中,[#fa1726]均含內地食品禁用的致癌物質「硼砂」[/size=4],超標最嚴重的樣本每公斤含硼逾兩千毫克,而據世界衞生組織建議,成年人每日平均硼的攝入量為一到十三毫克,人體攝取過量硼砂,多會導致內臟累積毒素,急性中毒症狀為嘔吐、腹瀉、出疹、昏迷等,嚴重的會致癌,攝入過量可致死。[/#fa1726]

  警方在該工場抓獲七名疑犯,兩名以涉嫌生產、銷售有毒有害食品罪,被當地警方刑事拘留;一疑犯因未成年被釋放;其他四名疑犯是東南亞人,已交由當地出入境管理部門處理。現場查獲該品牌龍蝦伊麵八百包、食用油十七桶。

  經查,該工場今年四月開始投產,產品主要銷往廣東省廣州市、東莞市、中山市等多地的批發市場。該黑工廠位置隱蔽,生產環境惡劣,污水橫流、老鼠亂竄,生產的半成品隨意擺放地上。警方稱,這種麵條「老鼠都不吃」,工場老闆亦稱不吃。諷刺的是,麵條包裝上赫然寫有「不添加防腐劑」字樣。

  廣州警方近日還公布,當地農業局檢測出廣州從化某養殖場的雞肉產品富來頓(Furazolidone)代謝物超標。富來頓是一種用於治療細菌和原蟲引起的痢疾、腸炎、胃潰瘍等胃腸道疾患的抗生素。
  經查,該養殖場老闆李某為給雞治病,將富來頓攙水中餵給兩千多隻病雞,其雞肉產品已往當地市場。李某已被警方刑事拘留。

  有網友對內地食品安全問題表示擔憂,指警方預見性不足,「總是出事後才查封」,問題食品「還是流入市場,受害的還是老百姓」。

支那元素食品衆所周知, 但印象中硼砂(borax)好似唔係致癌物
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax
Toxicity[edit]
Borax, sodium tetraborate decahydrate, according to one study, is not acutely toxic.[30] Its LD50 (median lethal dose) score is tested at 2.66 g/kg in rats,[31] meaning that a significant dose of the chemical is needed to cause severe symptoms or death. The lethal dose is not necessarily the same for humans. On pesticide information websites it is listed as a non-lethal compound and of no hazardous concerns.[32]

First registered in 1946 by the EPA as an insecticide with various restrictions, all restrictions were removed in February 1986 due to the low toxicity of Borax, as published in two EPA documents relating to boric acid and borax.[33][34]

EPA has determined that, because they are of low toxicity and occur naturally, boric acid and its sodium salts should be exempted from the requirement of a tolerance (maximum residue limit) for all raw agricultural commodities.[33]
Although it cited inconclusive data, a re-evaluation in 2006 by the EPA still found that "There were no signs of toxicity observed during the study and no evidence of cytotoxicity to the target organ."[35] In the reevaluation, a study of toxicity due to overexposure was checked and the findings were that "The residential handler inhalation risks due to boric acid and its sodium salts as active ingredients are not a risk concern and do not exceed the level of concern..." but that there could be some risk of irritation to children inhaling it if used as a powder for cleaning rugs.

Sodium tetraborate decahydrate has no known hazard issues.[36]

Conditions defined as "over-exposure" to borax dust can cause respiratory irritation, while no skin irritation is known to exist due to borax. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal distress including nausea, persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Effects on the vascular system and brain include headaches and lethargy, but are less frequent. "In severe poisonings, a beefy red skin rash affecting palms, soles, buttocks and scrotum has been described. With severe poisoning, erythematous and exfoliative rash, unconsciousness, respiratory depression, and renal failure."[37]

Borax was added to the Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) candidate list on 16 December 2010. The SVHC candidate list is part of the EU Regulations on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals 2006 (REACH), and the addition was based on the revised classification of borax as toxic for reproduction category 1B under the CLP Regulations. Substances and mixtures imported into the EU which contain borax are now required to be labelled with the warnings "May damage fertility" and "May damage the unborn child".[38] It was proposed for addition to REACH Annex XIV by the ECHA on 1 July 2015.[39] If this recommendation is approved, all imports and uses of borax in the EU will have to be authorized by the ECHA.
