A few days ago, the Korean Food and Drug Safety Agency randomly selected local soft drinks and found that benzene, a carcinogen, was detected in 36 of 37 drinks using vitamin C and sodium benzoate. Two of them, "Vita500" and "VitaPower", exceed or are very close to the World Health Organization's benzene limit for drinking water (10ppb).
Manager Jia of Korea Vita500 Food Co., Ltd., the general agent in China, said recently: "Vita500 is a functional beverage, imported from Korea. We can sell one container (container) in Beijing market every month, and each container has 70,000 bottles. Our products are generally sold in shopping malls and high-end office supermarkets, such as Lufthansa, Wangfujing Department Store, Juntai and Zhong You Supermarket. "
