Xinliang is located in Xinxiang, Henan Province, a concentrated production area of strong gluten wheat in China, and is the main supplier of special flour for more than 10 large food enterprises in China, such as Dali Garden, Panpan, etc., and many pastry raw materials are from Xinliang.
In March 2020, another company in Henan Province was found to have excessive cadmium levels in flour made from wheat in Xinxiang, making Xinxiang the focus of flour safety concerns. The risk of excessive cadmium in flour is smaller than that of rice, and Xinliang flour has not been detected with excessive cadmium, but its black whole wheat flour was sampled for ochratoxin A in 2019. Whole wheat flour retains the bran and is indeed more susceptible to mildew than refined flour due to improper handling or storage, and is recommended to be avoided.
