National Food Safety Standard Packaging Drinking Water (GB19298-2014) Q & A

I. Formulating the situation

According to the former Ministry of Health "on the issuance of the 2010 national standards for food safety rectification program of work notice" (Office of Health Supervision Fa [2010] No. 106), Health Authority of Zhejiang Province, China Beverage Industry Association, the National Drinking Water Quality Supervision, Inspection The Center and the Zhoushan City Health Supervision Office have undertaken the drafting group of the National Standard for Packaging Food and Drinking Water. The drafting group analyzed the relevant standards and safety indicators for packaging drinking water at home and abroad, the sanitary standards for drinking water in bottles (barrels) ( GB 19298-2003 ) and the sanitary standards for drinking pure water in bottles (barrels) ( GB 17324) On the basis of -2003 ), the integration and revision formed the "Food Safety National Standard Packaging Drinking Water" (GB 19298-2014) . The standard approved and issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission on December 24, 2014, from May 24, 2015 implementation of the standard package label identifies the requirements for drinking water (4.1 and 4.2) since January 1, 2016 onwards Implementation.

Second, on the scope of application of the standard

This standard applies to packaged drinking water for direct drinking, that is, it is sealed in a packaging container that meets food safety standards and relevant regulations, and is suitable for drinking directly. It is not suitable for drinking natural mineral water. Natural mineral water will be revised separately to the National Food Safety Standard for Drinking Natural Mineral Water ( GB 8537 ).

Third, on the raw material requirements

There are two main sources of raw materials for packaging drinking water: one is the public water supply system and the other is the water source for non-public water supply systems. The water source of non-public water supply systems can be divided into surface water and groundwater.

The water source from the public water supply system shall comply with the requirements of the Sanitary Standard for Drinking Water ( GB 5749 ).

The water source from the non-public water supply system shall meet the requirements for the sanitary water quality of drinking water sources in GB 5749 , that is, when the surface water is used as the water source, it shall comply with the requirements of the Environmental Quality Standard for Surface Water ( GB 3838 ). When groundwater is used as a water source, it should meet the requirements of the Groundwater Quality Standard ( GB/T 14848 ). After the source water of these non-public water supply systems is treated, the water quality should meet the requirements of GB 5749 , and then enter the subsequent processing steps of producing packaged drinking water. Since the source of non-treated water to the public water supply system, generally does not change the value of pH, food processing water can refer to "Surface Water Environment Quality Standard" (GB 3838) or "Groundwater Quality Standard" (GB / T 14848) of pH Value execution.

4. Labeling regulations on “adding food additives for regulating taste”

According to the National Food Safety Standards for Food Additives ( GB2760-2014 ), when adding food additives such as magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, etc. to adjust the taste, it should be marked in the vicinity of the product name. "Add food additives to adjust the taste " and other similar words. For the use of processing aids only (such as nitrogen), according to the "General Principles of Labelling of Prepackaged Foods for Food Safety National Standards" ( GB7718 - 2011 ), processing aids may not be marked, and "additional food additives are used to adjust taste ". And so on.

V. Name of packaging drinking water

The name of the packaged drinking water should be true and scientific, and the packaging of drinking water should not be named after one or several components other than water. The labeling of packaged drinking water should comply with the “General Rules for the Pre-packaged Food Packaging of National Food Safety Standards” ( GB 7718 ), which should be clear, conspicuous and long-lasting, so that consumers can easily identify and read when purchasing. The product name of the packaged drinking water shall not be marked with “activated water”, “small molecule water”, “functional water”, “energy water” and other unscientific content.

6. About microbial indicators

This standard retains the index of coliforms and adds Pseudomonas aeruginosa indicators, which does not retain the total number of colonies, mold and yeast counts, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella and Shigella .

The total number of colonies, molds, and yeasts are hygienic indicator bacteria, which generally do not affect public health. Excessive control of hygienic indicator bacteria and sterilization may lead to an increase in bromate content in drinking water, posing a health risk. At present, the International Codex Alimentarius Commission ( CAC ), the International Committee for Food Microbiology Standards ( ICSC ), the International Bottled Water Association ( IBWA ), the United States, Australia and the European Union and other relevant standards and regulations, did not set a sanitary indicator indicator for packaging drinking water. Our committee is organizing the drafting of the “Hygienic Standard for Packaging and Drinking Water Production in National Food Safety Standards”, which will strengthen the monitoring and management of health indicator bacteria through the control of production and processing. Therefore, the above indicators are no longer retained in this standard.

According to drinking water test results and CAC , ICMSF and China's relevant standards, this standard retains the index of coliform bacteria and increases the conditional pathogen - Pseudomonas aeruginosa (also known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Since there is no international indicator of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella and Shigella in drinking water, and there is no sufficient scientific basis, this standard is no longer retained.

VII. Implementation of label identification

This standard packaged drinking water tag identification requirements (4.1 and 4.2) since January 1, 2016 implementation. After January 1, 2016 the production of bottled water label logo should be in line with "national food safety standards Packaged Drinking Water" (GB19298-2014) requirements, before this production of bottled water can continue to be sold until the shelf life.

Eight, the label of the turnover barrel of bottled water

Since January 1, 2016, turnover barrels of bottled water labels shall comply with the requirements of this standard. For that do not meet this standard direct injection product name embossed or printed on turnover barrels paint barrels in the body, to make corrections after the name (eg through the barrel muzzle mark) to allow the use of December 31, 2016, and The product is sold during the warranty period.
