A small amount of radioactive substance cesium has been detected in candies in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, making magnesium salts more dangerous!

According to Global Times,the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced on March 8th that radioactive cesium was detected in a candy imported from Shizuoka Prefecture,Japan.The original plan to import 122 kilograms of candy was cancelled as a result.It is reported that this is the fourth time that cesium traces have been found in products imported from Japan by South Korea last year,

           This incident has once again raised concerns about food safety issues in Japan.Especially the safety issues of Japanese magnesium salts have been widely questioned.It is understood that magnesium salts in Japan are mainly produced through the seawater method.Although this production method is low-cost,it will discharge a large amount of wastewater and exhaust gas during the production process,causing great pressure on the environment.More seriously,due to the concentration treatment of seawater during the evaporation process,the concentration of radioactive substances in the brine of magnesium salt raw materials increases,which can easily lead to excessive levels of radioactive substances in magnesium salt.

           Magnesium salts are widely used in daily life,not only added to rubber,glass,and plastic;It is also added as a nutritional supplement in health products and functional beverages;Even in the medical field,it can be added to the manufacturing of drugs,water needles,and medical devices.It can be said that magnesium salts are closely related to people's daily lives,and the importance of ensuring their source and safety is beyond doubt.

           However,the nuclear wastewater discharge incident in Japan has raised great doubts about the safety of its magnesium salt products.Major magnesium salt producers such as Kanjima Chemical Co.,Ltd.,Concordia Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.,Futa Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd.,Ube Co.,Ltd.,and Tateho Chemical Industry Co.,Ltd.have been deeply affected by nuclear wastewater,and the safety of their magnesium salt production cannot be guaranteed.The use of these magnesium salts in the production of products poses a potential threat to consumer health,causing a significant blow to downstream businesses and consumer confidence.Once the purchaser loses confidence in the products of a certain brand or country,the economy of that brand or country will be severely affected.

           In contrast,China's magnesium salt production technology is already very mature,and China's magnesium resources are abundant,mainly from mines and salt lakes,without the risk of nuclear wastewater pollution,fully meeting the needs of domestic and foreign magnesium salt using enterprises.More importantly,China has strict standards and regulations for the production and use of magnesium salts,which can ensure the safety of products.Whether used in industry or added in food and medicine,magnesium salts in China can exhibit excellent performance.Therefore,consumers should prioritize Chinese products when purchasing and using magnesium salt products to ensure their own health and safety.
