Eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time-honored tradition of the Chinese nation that has endured for thousands of years. This small pastry not only satisfies people's taste buds but also embodies profound cultural connotations and serves as a vessel for emotional sustenance.
From a sacrificial offering to the moon to a seasonal delicacy, mooncakes embody the beautiful meanings of reunion, harvest, and yearning. When making mooncakes in ancient times, people often incorporated crops of the harvest—such as sesame, peanuts, and red dates—into the fillings. This not only reflected their joy for a "bountiful harvest of the five grains" but also implied gratitude for nature’s gifts.
In modern society, the variety of mooncakes has become increasingly diverse. Ranging from traditional flavors like five-nut, lotus seed paste, and red bean paste to contemporary ones such as lava salted egg yolk, snow skin, and low-sugar mooncakes, they not only cater to the taste preferences of different groups of people but also keep this traditional delicacy vibrant at all times.
As a professional third-party testing institution, our company is capable of providing the following services for mooncake manufacturers, distributors, and consumers to ensure the safety of this seasonal delicacy, allowing reunions to be free from worries.
Covering Full-Process Quality Control
The testing scope includes raw materials, production environment, processing process, and finished products. In accordance with relevant national standards, comprehensive testing is conducted on the shape, color, contaminants (e.g., lead, inorganic arsenic), and microorganisms (e.g., Salmonella, total bacterial count) of raw materials and finished products. This enables the accurate identification of safety hazards invisible to the naked eye, achieving full-chain management and control.
Avoiding Legal Risks and Economic Losses
The test reports issued by our company can serve as an "authoritative endorsement" for product quality, which can be directly displayed on product packaging or e-commerce platforms. This not only enhances enterprises' market credibility and brand competitiveness but also helps consumers make more confident purchasing decisions. Especially during peak holiday consumption periods such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, it enables enterprises to effectively avoid sales decline caused by quality concerns and helps consumers eliminate anxiety arising from quality issues.
