MUJI Biscuits Contain Carcinogens. The New Store Still Lands In Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

According to the test report released by the Hongkong Consumer Council in January 15th, one of the Japanese brand MUJI products was Malaysia's "hazelnut oatmeal biscuits". In detection of pre packaged or exempt nutritional labels, there was a high content of carcinogenic epoxy propanol and acrylamide in the pre packaged samples.

On the evening of 15, the customer service staff of Muji (Shanghai) Commercial Co., Ltd. responded to the media that the MUJI products located in Hongkong belonged to two different branches, and the products sold by the stores could be slightly different.

At the same time, when reporters visited many Muji local shops, they found that there was no such commodity on the shelves.

On the 18 day, the Muji official replied that the two substances were not food additives, and there was no problem of illegal addition or excessive addition.

However, due to the concerns of consumers, the company will temporarily remove the "hazelnut oatmeal biscuits".

In addition, the Hongkong Consumer Council also mentioned that the samples of 58 cookies and sweet cakes purchased from Hongkong from August 2018 to October were detected by nearly 9 samples (51 items).

Among them, 40 samples were detected with epoxy propanol, ranging from 3.4 micrograms / kg to 1900 micrograms / kg; 42 samples were detected acrylamide, ranging from 32 micrograms / kg to 340 micrograms / kg; 35 samples were detected chloropropanediol, ranging from 11 g / kg to 780 g / kg.

It is worth mentioning that Muji continues to open "big stores" in China, and aims to achieve the same price between China and Japan in 2020.

Fourth flagship stores in mainland China opened in January 18th in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, with a total area of over 3500 square meters, and the last flagship store in the world just settled in Jiangsu and Nanjing in December 2018.

It is reported that the flagship store in the world has more experience and services in addition to the design of larger stores and more local features, covering MUJI Books (MUJI Books), Caf & Meal MUJI (MUJI cafe and restaurant), dress matching, furniture matching, customization and exhibitions.
