　　Cadmium is a heavy metal that accumulates and can enter the human body through the food chain. The maximum limit for cadmium (as Cd) in fresh and frozen aquatic animals (crustaceans) is 0.5mg/kg as stipulated in the National Standard for Food Safety Limits for Contaminants in Food (GB 2762-2017). The exceedance of the limit for cadmium (as Cd) in seawater shrimps may be due to the enrichment of cadmium in the environment during its growth.

　　Among the unqualified food products, one batch of food products was found to have biotoxin problems, namely: fried peanut rice processed at the Little Three Gorges Mountain Resort in Taian City was found to have aflatoxin B1 that did not meet the provisions of the national food safety standard.

The maximum limit of aflatoxin B1 in peanuts and their products is 20μg/kg as stipulated in the National Food Safety Standard "Limitation of Mycotoxins in Food" (GB 2761-2017). It may also be due to poor control of sanitary conditions during processing, and may also be related to poor sealing of the product packaging and improper control of storage and transportation conditions.
