Recently a special risk analysis was carried out on all oranges, mandarins and tangerines sold in all shopping centers, markets and specialty stores for fruits and vegetables in Beijing. The results indicate that the samples of citrus fruits investigated so far did not contain any sweeteners, pigments or preservatives that are not in line with the official safety standards.

In only two of the sampled orange peels a very small amount of "Orange pigment No. 2" was detected. However, further screening has proven that all pulp samples were according to standards.
