    Blindness of toxicity
    Since 2011, the Consumer Protection Association and the Department of Science and Technology of Dak Lak province have implemented a scientific topic, surveying the quality of powdered coffee produced and circulating in Dak Lak, the results are shocking. me.
    Research results on 27 samples of powdered coffee and instant coffee in 30 production facilities showed that, in addition to raw coffee beans, 73.3% of establishments used more soybeans, 46.7% of establishments. Department used more corn, 6.7% used more red beans.
    The survey results also showed that, for food additives used for coffee processing, 80% of establishments used caramel, 63.3% used coffee concentrate or flavor, and 60% used vanilla powder; 96.7% of establishments use butter of all kinds, 86.7% use alcohol, 3.3% of establishments use fish sauce ...
    According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Lan - Chairman of the Dak Lak Consumers' Rights Protection Association - the research topic has been completed for over a year, many workshops have been held, but so far has not been announced.
    However, the coffee quality state management agencies in the coffee capital Dak Lak cannot know what the main ingredients in the powdered coffee product are?
    Dr. Tran Van Tiet - Deputy Director of Sub-Department of Food Safety and Hygiene, Department of Health of Dak Lak Province - said: “The quality of food and drink products in general, including coffee is owned by the owner. Production and processing units self-register and announce their quality and take responsibility before law. When bringing products to the market, the Department of Food Safety and Hygiene inspects samples and issues certificates of product standard conformity. The coffee products are not of guaranteed quality, only detected when there are inspection teams, taking samples for analysis.
    However, the proportion of coffee more or less, the remaining ingredients including what fillers are almost not checked, peeled to distinguish. Coffee quality control only monitors humidity and caffeine content. Even the caffeine content in the product samples, the inspection agency could not separate whether it was coffee concentrate or from green coffee.
    Obviously, if it is only penalized for the moisture content, the caffeine content not in accordance with the information on the package is not enough; Because what are these fillers, additives, and chemicals, and how they harm the health of consumers is more important.
     
    No one is responsible
    Mr. Nguyen Minh Tang - Deputy Chief Inspector of Dac Lak Department of Agriculture and Rural Development - explains more about the state management: “Since ancient times, the management, inspection, recognition or sanction of food products are all by Chi. Department of Food Safety and Hygiene of the province presides over. Units such as market managers, agricultural inspectors ... only join the interdisciplinary union. Only since 2012, the function of quality inspection and management for agricultural - forestry and aquatic products has been assigned to the Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Control Sub-Department under the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development ”.
    But also according to Mr. Tang, products from the field to the kitchen, processing food are responsible for the agricultural sector. From the kitchen, food to the market is managed by industry and commerce. When going to the table, the responsibility rests with the health sector.
    Thus, the management functions of the branches and units are overlapping, not clearly defined responsibilities, so the quality of products is almost impossible to control.
    Mr. Tang demonstrated that most of the decisions to fine money, forcibly destroy and recycle coffee products of poor quality after the inspection in early 2013 were signed by the Inspector of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. But the Department inspector did not know in detail what they violated, because the inspection, sampling, analysis, conclusion ... were carried out by the Agriculture - Forestry and Fisheries Quality Control Department.
    In other words, an inspecting unit, bringing a record to a home unit to make a penalty decision. If not, the establishment will be sanctioned against the department inspector, while the department inspector does not directly go to work.
    Even the "owners" of coffee powder production and processing establishments - the ones who declare the quality and are legally responsible for the quality of the products - are also blind about the harmful ingredients in their products. . Nguyen Van Lam - the owner of Nguyen Lam branded coffee processing facility - said we only roast and mix additives and fillers based on experience.
    The manual roaster cannot measure the temperature, cannot control the flammability or charred. Even the toxic ingredients such as arsenic, mercury, coal ... in the coffee produced in what process, how much content, Lam do not know: "That I copy in the registration form for quality standards of Health. Authorities also only check the humidity and caffeine content "...
