Since April of this year, the nation’s continued crackdown on illegal additions and abuse of food additives has achieved initial results, and local authorities have also discovered new trends and characteristics from investigations.
In the past five months, what are the new features of the serious violations investigated and dealt with by relevant departments? What are the deeper problems in rectifying illegal additions? What follow-up actions will be taken?
Recently, on these issues, this reporter interviewed the person in charge of the State Council Food Safety Commission Office (hereinafter referred to as the Food Safety Office).
More than 1,200 cases solved in 5 months Reporter: Since the launch of the special rectification against the illegal addition and abuse of food additives, how effective has it been?
The responsible person of the food safety office: In the past five months, the nationwide crackdown on the illegal addition and abuse of food additives has undergone special rectification. All localities and departments around the country have acted quickly to severely punish illegal criminals in accordance with the law, effectively curbing cases of illegally adding and abusing food additives. The momentum has achieved good results.
The special rectification work is progressing steadily. The nation’s agriculture, industry and commerce, quality inspection, and food and drug supervision and management systems mobilized more than 3.525 million law enforcement officers, inspected more than 6.933 million related production and business units, and banned and closed more than 5,000 illegal and irregular enterprises, and imposed more than 18,000 administrative penalties. Since then, 435 cases have been transferred to judicial organs to further standardize the production and management practices, deterred criminals and increased the confidence of consumers in food safety.
Cracked a batch of illegally added cases. Up to now, public security agencies across the country have uncovered more than 1,200 cases of illegal food addiction and arrested more than 2,000 criminal suspects, which have achieved major results. Among them, 120 cases of "Clenbuterol" were detected, more than 980 people were arrested, and a large number of "Clenbuterol" products were seized. The relevant local people’s courts have successively tried to pronounce a batch of crimes that endanger food safety, and a group of criminals have been brought to justice.
In addition, the intensity of monitoring and sampling inspections has continued to increase, and the construction of standard systems has accelerated.
Crime is more hidden. Reporter: What are the major violations in the cases investigated during the special rectification? What characteristics are reflected?
The responsible person of the food safety office: Through special rectification and investigation of cases, it was found that there were major violations of the following major categories: illegal production and sales of non-edible substances, production, sales of pesticides, veterinary drugs, feed and other agricultural products that did not meet the requirements. Prohibited substances are added to feed, non-edible substances are illegally added during the transportation of livestock products and aquaculture products, non-edible substances and abuse of food additives are illegally added during food production, processing, and operation, unlicensed food additives, and food additives are sold. Excessive and non-edible foods, etc.
The above facts mainly reflect the following characteristics: First, criminal activities are more hidden. According to the identified source of non-edible substances and banned substances, many of its production lines and black dens are hidden in chemical plants that have obtained relevant registrations and production licenses, and adopt point-to-point sales methods. Production and sales activities are extremely concealed. For example, a fine chemical company in Xiangfan, Hubei, and a biochemical technology company in Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, etc., to produce the “lean meat essence†by renting out the workshop or directly investing in shares.
The second is illegal tactical renovation. The clue of the new clenbuterol found in Hunan's previous investigation was to add the previously uncommon phenylethanolamine A to the feed; in the “stained pepper†case in Chongqing, it was discovered that criminals used rhodamine B instead of Sudan. These methods of using peaches to replace Lee are to blind the inspection and escape the blow.
Third, the interests are driven obviously and the lack of integrity is serious.
Fourth, some professional and technical personnel participate in illegal crimes.
Reporter: The introduction of food safety reporting guidelines in the early stage, and what is the promotion of the special rectification and even the entire food safety supervision?
The head of the food safety office: The food safety prize reporting system is a major measure to strengthen social supervision. Although it has just started, it is of great significance and has a significant promotion effect.
The first is to facilitate the mobilization of all parties in society to actively participate in food safety supervision and improve the enthusiasm of the masses in combating illegal food activities. Second, in contrast to the information acquisition channels of the functional departments such as random inspections, mass reporting is an efficient and low-cost channel for information acquisition. The third is to help create strong social pressure and create a deterrent effect on illegal producers and operators.
Increase the intensity of rural supervision Reporter: Under the current high pressure of food safety, the strength of urban supervision continues to increase, but some rural areas are still more common in the production and sale of fake and shoddy foods. In this regard, what measures will be taken to further strengthen rural food safety supervision?
Director of the Food Safety Office: Due to the vast rural areas, complex situations, and weak regulatory power, some rural areas, including urban and rural areas, have repeatedly emerged the problems of counterfeit and shoddy foods, and are prone to rebound, causing serious food safety problems.
Leading comrades of the State Council attach great importance to this and have repeatedly made important instructions. The Food Safety Office has also issued a "Notice on Severely Cracking Down on Counterfeit and Inferior Food Products to Further Improve Rural Food Safety Protection Level." It requires all localities and relevant departments to increase efforts to rectify the rural food market and protect the legitimate rights and interests of peasant consumers.
In the next step, the following measures will be taken to strengthen supervision:
- Accelerate the promotion of the local legislative process. Actively promote localities to further accelerate the establishment of sound management laws and regulations to ensure that rural food safety management laws can be followed.
-- Strengthen the supervision of food quality and safety in rural areas. Strictly enforce the permitting work and daily supervision of rural food production enterprises, and urge them to implement their main responsibilities.
—— Consolidate the basics of rural food safety supervision. We will increase investment in, and support for, grass-roots supervision and improve rural food safety supervision capabilities.
-- Strictly cracking down on illegal production and sale of fake and shoddy food. It is necessary to increase the intensity of case investigation and resolutely crack down on selling counterfeit foods to rural areas.
- Strengthen publicity and education. To take the form of popular reading and popularization of the people in the countryside, popularize the knowledge of popular science in food safety, and constantly enhance the people's awareness of self-protection and ability to identify counterfeit awareness.
Reporter: What are the next steps for special rectification? How to consolidate the previous stage of effectiveness?
The person in charge of the food safety office: In the previous stage, special rectification achieved certain results. However, this is only the beginning. In accordance with the "Notice" requirements and the unified deployment of the State Council's Food Safety Committee, all regions and relevant departments must further intensify their efforts to ensure the completion of various remediation targets and tasks.
First of all, we must unswervingly continue to carry out special rectification. Continue to increase the intensity of rectification, and always maintain a high-pressure situation, not giving criminals any opportunity.
Second, continue to increase publicity and guidance and strengthen social supervision. We must widely publicize policy measures, typical cases, and form strong public pressure.
Furthermore, strengthen emergency response and actively respond to social concerns. For food safety incidents that are of concern to the society, publicly release information in a timely manner and actively respond to social concerns.
In addition, we must not only crack down on rectification, but also pay attention to long-term mechanism construction. Only by exploring and promoting the construction of long-term effective mechanisms in a realistic manner can we truly ensure that the level of food safety in our country will continue to be stable and develop well.
