A survey of the level of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) in soy sauces and similar products available in the UK is reported. The survey was carried out by the Joint Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food/Department of Health Food Safety and Standards Group (JFSSG) to check for compliance with the Food Advisory Committee's (FAC) recommended limit for 3-MCPD of 0.01 mg/kg following reports that soy sauces in several European countries had been found to contain high levels (up to 124 mg/kg) of 3-MCPD. Forty samples of soy sauce and similar products purchased from retail outlets were analysed using a GC-MS procedure which had been formally validated by an earlier collaborative trial. 3-MCPD was undetectable in 21 (52%) of samples analysed in the survey, with a further five samples containing very low levels of between 0.01 and 0.02 mg/kg. Five samples (13%) contained 3-MCPD at levels in the range 0.020-1 mg/kg while nine samples (23%) were found to contain 3-MCPD at levels greater than 1 mg/kg, with the highest level being 30.5 mg/kg.
据报道，对英国市场上酱油及类似产品中3 - 氯 - 1,2 - 丙二醇（3 - MCPD）的含量进行了一项调查。该调查由农业、渔业和食品部/卫生部联合食品安全与标准小组（JFSSG）开展，目的是在有报道称几个欧洲国家的酱油中被发现含有高含量（高达124毫克/千克）的3 - MCPD后，检查是否符合食品咨询委员会（FAC）建议的3 - MCPD限量标准0.01毫克/千克。从零售商店购买的40份酱油及类似产品样本，采用一种已通过早期协同试验正式验证的气相色谱 - 质谱联用（GC - MS）程序进行分析。在该调查分析的样本中，21份（52%）未检测到3 - MCPD，另有5份样本含有极低水平的3 - MCPD，含量在0.01至0.02毫克/千克之间。5份样本（13%）中3 - MCPD含量在0.020至1毫克/千克范围内，而9份样本（23%）被发现含有高于1毫克/千克的3 - MCPD，最高含量为30.5毫克/千克。
