In the artificial forest next to the landfill.
Today, in addition to the mountains of empty bottles, there were many empty packaging bags stacked in the open space, each of which was printed with English on the outside.
"So much?"
Zhang Zian was taken aback. Although he knew that this dog food had been fully launched, the speed of expansion was still beyond his expectations.
"Every brother brought one back," Little White explained.
In order to find out how well this dog food was accepted in the market, Zhang Zian specifically asked Little White to let the stray dogs pick up the empty packaging bags of this dog food when they picked up the bottles from the landfill.
The stray dogs were not very happy because empty bottles were equivalent to dog food and chicken legs for them. What was the use of this empty bag? It was better to pick up an extra bottle than an empty bag.
There were almost two or three hundred of the same packaging bags in the open space, and there would definitely be more in the future.
"What's wrong with this dog food?" Little White didn't understand the use of picking up these empty bags, but he forced the stray dogs to bring one back each.
Zhang Zian picked up an empty bag with a branch and said, "It's hard to say now, but it's better to be careful. If the stray dogs pick up this dog food that hasn't been eaten yet, don't let them be greedy."
Little White nodded and passed the order through the leaders.
At this time, Zhang Zian's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" He picked up the phone.
"Hello? Little Zhang? This is Wei Kang. The results of the two kinds of dog food you wanted to test before are out, "Wei Kang said.
Zhang Zian cheered up. "Well, go ahead, I'm listening."
He sent two bags of dog food to Wei Kang at the same time. One was the domestic dog food that was usually used, and the other was the American dog food left by Qi Tong. Both were sent for inspection at the same time for comparison.
"I know you are most concerned about the conclusion. Let's talk about the test results first. Both kinds of dog food meet the GB/T 31216 -2014 full-price pet food (dog food) standards issued by our country. Specifically, this American dog food is better than another domestic dog food in the main indicators of crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and trace elements and lysine. In the hygienic indicators that you particularly emphasized, the content of heavy metals such as fluorine, arsenic, and lead are less than or equal to the national standard. The total number of aflatoxin and bacteria are less than the national standard. No salmonella was detected, and the microbial community meets the national standard. I will take a detailed report later and send the pictures to you. "
Wei Kang read out the test report given by his university colleague.
"In other words … everything is normal?" Zhang Zian hesitated to confirm.
In fact, he had already expected this, because this dog food had legal import and export procedures, which meant that this product had passed the quarantine of China Customs and was in line with the provisions of China's laws.
"Yes." "The other domestic dog food is also qualified, but most of the indicators are slightly worse than this imported dog food. Of course, our school's food safety and engineering majors are not the top in the country, and we have never tested dog food before. If you are worried, I can help you contact other more professional institutions. "
Zhang Zian was somewhat unwilling, but what could he do even if he was unwilling? This time, Wei Kang had asked his colleagues from the university to help with the examination. His colleagues would definitely be more attentive than usual for Wei Kang's sake. Even if it was another organization, they would most likely come to the same conclusion.
"That … other than aflatoxin and salmonella … what about toxins and bacteria?" he asked.
Wei Kang asked, "What do you mean? There are so many types of toxins and bacteria that it is impossible to detect all of them. The national standards only stipulate these two types and the total number of bacteria, so I can only say that according to the test results, these two dog foods meet the national standards. "
Zhang Zian was speechless.
Yes, there were so many types of toxins and bacteria. If a specific name was not pointed out, how could the testers check it?
And Wei Kang specifically emphasized that, from a legal point of view, this American dog food was in line with the provisions of China's laws. Even if he found some minor problems, such as a very small amount of harmful bacteria in the dog food, as long as the total number of bacteria did not exceed the limit, there was no legal way to do anything about this dog food.
Zhang Zian understood that this was Wei Kang's kindness, reminding him not to do something he was not sure of.
"I understand, Professor Wei, but I have one more question. Can you detect the main meat components of this American dog food?" He asked for the next best thing.
The sound of paper turning came from the other side of the phone.
Wei Kang said, "This has also been tested. The meat composition of American dog food is more complex. At least four major categories of chicken, duck, fish, and beef have been detected. Chicken contains turkey, beef contains bison, and fish contains salmon and cod. In addition … there are some ground and finely ground meat powder, which has not been detected from which animal."
As a dog food, the complexity of the meat composition was not a bad thing. Many dog foods even used this as a selling point for a variety of meat sources to ensure balanced nutrition.
As for the meat powder, it was probably ground bones and internal organs. This was also a routine operation. Many high-priced imported dog foods also contained meat powder, but it was not marked. The price of this dog food was so cheap that it was impossible to say that there was no meat powder.
Zhang Zian had nothing else to ask. It seemed that he was overthinking. Maybe this American dog food was really a good thing at a low price.
He had suspected that the ingredients of this dog food might include the meat of stray cats and dogs. Now it seemed that although this possibility could not be completely ruled out, the probability was very low.
Besides, even if the meat of stray cats and dogs was included, so what? National standards did not stipulate that the meat of cats and dogs could not be used to make dog food. At most, the manufacturers could be blamed for being immoral.
"Is there anything else?" Wei Kang asked.
"No, Professor Wei. Thank you for your help." Zhang Zian thanked him.
"It's nothing. The laboratory is not busy during the summer anyway." Wei Kang laughed. "Then I'll hang up first. Contact me if there's anything else."
"Okay."
Zhang Zian hung up the phone and silently stared at the large empty bags in the open space.
"How is it? Do you still have to bring back these empty bags every day? " Little White saw that he didn't look very good and didn't want to disturb him, but it was not easy for his brothers to pick up scraps on a hot day. It was best to lighten the burden.
"No, that's enough."
Zhang Zian shook his head and squeezed out a smile. "It seems that not everyone can be Sherlock Holmes. It's really a waste of money and manpower because of a little groundless suspicion."
Vladimir comforted him. "It doesn't matter. Bold assumptions and careful verification have always been the strategic purpose of our work. Besides, these dogs are idle!"
