This study aimed to determine the geographical origin traceability and authenticity of refined sugar in China. Ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-QTof-MS), instead of conventional stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS), was used to detect the mass fragment ratios (Rδ-sucrose and Rδ-glucose) of refined sugar. These ratios could reflect the cultivation practice and environmental conditions. A total of 108 batches of samples were collected from six regions in China, and additional 72 samples were verified with support vector machines (SVM) model, in order to evaluate the accuracy of origin identification and composition prediction. Our results showed that 83.3% of the refined sugar was correctly classified based on the geographical region of origin under different environmental conditions. These findings indicate that the specified mass fragment ratio may be a promising approach for assessing the traceability and authenticity of refined sugar.Cultivated mushrooms inevitably absorb phthalate esters (PAEs) and potentially toxic metal(loid)s from plastic grow bags and substrate. The associated harm to consumers should be further clarified. This study measured six priority PAEs and nine metal(loid)s in eight mushroom varieties from greenhouses near Jingmen, Hubei, central China. The averaged total target PAE was between 8.60 ± 1.55 and 27.20 ± 5.90 mg kg-1 dry weight. Levels of di-n-butyl phthalate in all samples and those of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate in four mushroom species exceeded the maximum residual amount of China. Compared with the maximum levels of contaminants for foods in China, Cd in one and Pb in four mushroom species exceeded the limits. The estimated weekly intake of As, Cd, Cu, Hg, and Pb for different age groups was higher than the provisional tolerable week
