The coliform group in Kopi Luwak exceeded the standard by 8 times?

Beijing Business Daily (Reporter Zhou Xueyu) cakes sold in coffee shops are increasingly becoming the new favorite of fashionistas, but the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission tested 40 cakes randomly purchased by 15 well-known chain coffee shops and found that the coliform group of many cakes exceeded the standard, and the Black Forest Cake coliform group sold by Kopi Luwak was even eight times the national standard.

According to the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission, a recent test on 40 pieces of pastry randomly bought by 15 well-known coffee chains showed that the coliform bacteria of pastry in many enterprises exceeded the standard. The actual value of Black Forest Cake coliform in Kopi Luwak was 2400 (MPN/100g), about 8 times higher than the national standard, while the coliform bacteria in royal chocolate cakes sold by fragrant coffee also exceeded the national standard by three times.

According to the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission, the above-mentioned store sales staff do not wear masks, take directly with their hands or wipe pastry plates with tablecloths after collecting money, repeatedly use the same disposable glove to take cakes, and fail to cut food in specific processing areas, and other non-standard operation problems, such as non-standard operation problems, such as non-standard management or substandard pastry, according to the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission, may be one of the important factors causing product pollution.

In recent years, there have been frequent negative messages from well-known cake chains. In October last year, media reported that a Beijing branch of Jinfeng Chengxiang was reprimanded for fear of too much damage to the cakes, and then took the cakes that should be removed from the shelves to the counter to continue to sell. Not long after, Jinfeng Chengxiang's factory was exposed again because of unqualified hygiene.
