后續(xù)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),麥當勞的麥樂雞在中國也包含有這兩種化學物質(zhì),對此,據(jù)彭博社報道,麥當勞的回應是:

McDonald’s has “strict quality control on all its food,” Jacky Sun, a spokesman for the company said by phone today.

麥當勞中國的發(fā)言人Jacky Sun在電話里說,“麥當勞有著嚴格的質(zhì)量標準”。

McNuggets served in the U.S. also contain tertiary butylhydroquinone, a petroleum-based product, and dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent used in cosmetics and other goods. McDonald’s Holdings Co. Japan also serves chicken with the additives, which meet Japanese safety standards, Kazuyuki Hagiwara, a spokesman for the company said today. ?

日本麥當勞的發(fā)言人Kazuyuki Hagiwara說,美國的麥樂雞也有這兩種化學物質(zhì),麥當勞在日本也含有食品添加劑,是符合日本的食品安全法的。

麥樂雞問題爆出后,在美國也引發(fā)了討論

() McDonald’s customers in the United States should feel betrayed when they find out that the All-American restaurant is feeding them Chicken McNuggets laced with more chemicals and calories than McNuggets served in the United Kingdom.

麥當勞的美國顧客們可能會覺得自己遭到了背叛,這家遍布全國的快餐店提供給美國人民的麥樂雞,化學物質(zhì)含量和卡路里都比提供給英國人民的高。

A spokeswoman for McDonald’s seemed to minimize the significance of the discrepancies, telling CNN that they try to cater to every market.

一位麥當勞的女發(fā)言人更是企圖把重大區(qū)別大事化小,告訴CNN說他們只是在迎合不同的市場。

In the end, the most significant difference between the two types of McNuggets as presented in the CNN report is the nutritional content, leaving open questions as to why the British are treated to healthier food than are Americans. To answer that question, CNN spoke with Christopher Kindall, author and television food show host. Kimball told CNN, “The regulations in Europe, in general, around food are much stricter than the U.S.”

最后,英美兩國麥樂雞最重要的就是營養(yǎng)成分的差別,留下了一個問題是為什么英國人能得到更健康的食物。CNN采訪了電視飲食節(jié)目主持人和作家克里斯托弗,他說“通常歐洲的飲食標準比美國更嚴格”。

Although the discrepancy between McDonalds Chicken McNuggets on either side of the Atlantic may not seem significant, the implications could be serious: are American corporations willing to poison their own people just because regulations are more lax than they are in other countries?

雖然麥當勞的麥樂雞在大西洋兩邊的差別看上去沒那么重要,不過其中包含了一個很重要的問題,美國公司難道就因為美國標準比其他國家寬松就愿意毒害自己的人民么?

滬江小編:看來不管是中國還是美國,公司做的都是符合最低標準的事情,不要指望他們會看重民族啊同胞啊之類的問題,一定要對他們高標準嚴要求。話說這年頭,吃個東西還得認識這么多化學物質(zhì),老百姓容易么……
