Pesticide organophosphorus test: organic rice contains heavy metal pesticides, what is organic rice?

In China, two kinds of organic rice have been detected to have Taosong pesticides. This pesticide is very harmful to the human body. Which two kinds of organic rice are they? let's take a look.

Hualien "Yinchuan rice" and Taitung "earth rice" are the two major brands of organic rice in China. The residue of pesticide Taosong was detected by the Council of Agriculture in December last year. Huang Youcai, director of agriculture and grain of the Council of Agriculture, said that it may have been caused by rice fever in the late stage of the first phase of rice cultivation in 1995 and spraying pesticides in neighboring fields. However, the Taosong residue is 0.02ppm, which is much lower than the rice pesticide residue of 0.1 ppm, which is still very safe. The Council of Agriculture will ask farmers to find ways to expand the distance between organic farmland and nearby ordinary farmland to avoid further pollution.

Wang Changying, head of the Agriculture and Food Administration of the Council of Agriculture, said that organic rice is already the most stringent in the inspection of agricultural products. "A packet of rice will be sampled at least three times in the production process, once in the field, and again after harvest and before it is stored in the factory. We smoke the finished products again. As the "measures for the Management of the production and Certification of Agricultural products" have not yet been legislated, the Council of Agriculture can only invoke the "Food Hygiene Management Law" to punish each farmer for 30,000 yuan with "false labeling" and require the product to be removed from the shelves. after all, if there are pesticide residues, it cannot be called organic rice. the Council of Agriculture pointed out that only after the certification of agricultural products is passed can the fine be increased by 60 to 300000 yuan.

However, take the Hualien "Yinchuan Rice" tested this time as an example. The monitor of the production and marketing class is the second generation of farmers and has a master's degree. He uses his father's name as a brand to expand organic rice. Since 10% of the output is exported, it is also the largest brand in China. The penalty of 30,000 yuan is small, and the loss of goodwill is at least tens of millions of yuan.

Some pesticide experts also put forward their personal views to the Organic Agriculture Information Center, saying that Taosong is an insecticide and has nothing to do with the prevention and control of rice fever. Taosong is an important ingredient in sanitation or disinfection drugs (such as cockroach killing liquid or mosquito killing liquid, etc.), so contamination in the warehouse is also possible.

However, Liang Cheng-hsien, owner of the Chien Hsing Rice Mill in Taitung Chi, protested that the Agriculture and Food Administration should use complete packaging as a sample, instead of taking a package but unpacking it into a 500-gram test. The repackaging process may be contaminated by warehouse disinfection.
