Leather (leather shoes) waste made gelatin used for yogurt, jelly has just false alarm, we are too late to thank for not eating leather shoes, real reports tell us that leather shoes (leather waste, industrial gelatin) or through other Ways, such as medicinal capsules or health supplement capsules, enter our stomachs.

　　According to the CCTV "Weekly Quality Report" report, the pharmaceutical capsule factory uses gelatin produced from leather waste as a raw material.　Tanning preparations containing chromium in leather tanning in industrial processing often lead to chromium residue. According to the survey, 13 batches of pharmaceuticals produced by 9 pharmaceutical factories used capsules with chromium exceeding the standard, with a maximum exceeding 90 times. Including amended pharmaceutical companies, Tonghua Jinma and other big-name pharmaceutical companies. Yesterday, 13 products were suspended for sale and use.

　　The use of chrome-containing tanning agents in leather tanning during industrial processing will result in chromium residue. The content of heavy metal chromium in industrial gelatin processed with this "blue alum leather" will generally exceed the standard.

　　 The Chinese Pharmacopoeia stipulates that capsules need to be tested for heavy metal chromium, but such capsules are directly packed into boxes without chromium detection, and a certificate of conformity is posted to leave the factory. In capsule factories such as Zhuokang and Huaxing, there is not even equipment for detecting chromium content.

　　 Chromium is a very toxic heavy metal that easily enters human cells, causing damage to liver, kidney and other internal organs and DNA, accumulating in the human body is carcinogenic and may induce genetic mutations.

　　The reporters in Huaxing and Zhuokang''s two capsule factories respectively sampled the raw materials of white bag gelatin and finished medicinal capsules. The chromium content of gelatin in the two factories was 62.43mg/kg and 103.64mg/kg, respectively. They exceeded the standard by more than 30 times and more than 50 times respectively; the chromium content of the capsules was 42.19mg/kg and 93.34mg/kg, respectively, and exceeded the standard by more than 20 times and 40 times.

　　 This kind of medicinal capsule with high chromium standard is relatively cheap. In addition to sneaking into some small pharmaceutical factories, health care products factories, hospitals and pharmacies, it has also been sold to some large pharmaceutical factories. The relevant person in charge of Xinchang County Huaxing Rubber Pill Factory revealed that their customers include Qinghai Gladandong Pharmaceutical Company and Jilin Changchun Overseas Pharmaceutical Group Company.

　　In Jilin Changchun Overseas Pharmaceutical Group Company, the reporter saw that only one laboratory test sheet showed that the capsules of Huaxing Jiaonan Factory used by the factory reached 20.4 million. The inspectors write qualified in the chromium test item column without testing. Cheng Zhaoping, director of the company''s production workshop, confirmed that medicinal capsules generally do not detect chromium. "Chromium and lead are not inspected. Normally, they should be inspected. They are harmful to the body."

　　According to the clues, the reporters purchased samples of capsule medicines produced by some pharmaceutical factories sold by pharmacies in Beijing, Jiangxi, Jilin, Qinghai and other places. After repeated tests and confirmations by the Comprehensive Inspection Center of the Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine Sciences, the 13 batches of drugs produced by 9 pharmaceutical companies used capsules with heavy metal chromium content exceeding the limit of 2mg/kg specified by national standards, of which the most Up to 90 times.

　　 The State Food and Drug Administration stated that it had instructed relevant provincial food and drug administrations to carry out supervision and inspection and product inspection on the chromium exceeding the standard of medicinal hollow capsules reported by the media, and sent staff to the site for supervision.

　　 The product that was ordered to stop selling and using. After the inspection result is clear, qualified products will continue to be sold, and unqualified products will be handled according to law. Enterprises that produce and sell medicinal hollow capsules in violation of regulations will be severely investigated and dealt with.

　　According to the “Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Heavy Metal Pollution (Trial)” issued by the Ministry of Health, there is currently no relevant information on chromium poisoning caused by environmental pollution in China, and the diagnostic criteria for chromium poisoning are yet to be determined (currently only “GBZ 12-2002 Diagnostic Criteria for Occupational Chromium Rhinopathy"). People with high risk of chromium contamination should focus on the respiratory system, nasopharynx, and skin. Blood routine, urine routine, liver function, chest X-rays, and electrocardiogram are also helpful.
