A SURVEY has found all moon cakes on sale in the city have passed health checks, the product quality watchdog said Friday.

　　But results of another test by the health bureau announced a day earlier, found almost nine percent were not up to standard.

　　The tests were designed to restore the confidence of suspicious consumers who lost the taste for moon cake after CCTV revealed the 63-year-old Guanshengyuan company in East China’s Nanjing City used year-old fillings in its moon cakes.

　　The tests by the Shenzhen Municipal Quality and Technology Supervision Bureau were based on 30 batches of moon cakes produced by 29 local bakeries and 20 batches of products made in other cities.

　　The tests showed all the products conformed to national standards in major health indices, including bacterium, preservatives and other impurities.

　　The bureau found nonconformities only in labeling and weight.

　　The tests by the Shenzhen Municipal Public Health Bureau focused on local moon cakes and consisted of 16 food indices, including lead, arsenic, benzoic acid, colibacillus and other bacteria. Most substandard moon cakes failed in colibacillus and bacterial colonies tests, the bureau said.

　　The seven brands which failed the tests include Kanglan （康兰）, Kangmaisi （康麦斯）, Babylon （巴比伦）, Pinjiapin （品佳品）, Furong Restaurant （芙蓉酒楼） and Riwei (Zhongshan City) （中山日威）.

　　The bureau has ordered manufacturers to recall the substandard moon cakes from the market.

　　The quality bureau recommend consumers buy moon cakes only with “S” labels, which the bureau issues for up-to-standard products on voluntary applications by manufacturers.

　　This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival falls on Saturday.
