Food Additive Security Long Lasting and Expected to Build a Multi-layered Supervision System

The issuance of "Standards for the Use of Food Additives", the convening of a high-level food safety conference, the establishment of whistle-blower telephones, law enforcement inspections, etc. This year, a series of measures to deal with food safety problems are gradually being promoted. This is unprecedented. However, there is a saying in the industry that “safe food is not detected, but unsafe food is definitely detected.” This also reveals that relying solely on government management and advanced technology, it is still insufficient to eliminate security risks.

The lack of "seamless" management of food safety issues has been a long-standing problem, and inadequate regulation has long been criticized. Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, once pointed out that behind the incidents such as cowpea and tainted milk powder, the bigger problem lies in the fact that our country has "long management" for food safety.

It is understood that according to the current division of administrative functions, the industrial and commercial department is responsible for the supervision of the market circulation system, the quality supervision department is responsible for the supervision of manufacturer production, and the supervision of production and circulation is relatively independent and fragmented, which also affects the supervision of the entire food chain. Systematic. Although China has already established the State Council Food Safety Committee, in the food safety management practice, the problem of multi-segment division management still exists. Chapter 8 of the Food Safety Law, which was implemented in June 2009, still stipulates that food safety is the responsibility of the health administration, agricultural administration, quality supervision, industrial and commercial administration, and food and drug supervision and management departments of the governments at or above the county level. Someone once gave an example: When a pig is in a farm, it belongs to the supervision of the agricultural sector; when it reaches the transportation stage, it belongs to the industrial and commercial administration; in the market, it belongs to the industrial and commercial administration and the quality inspection department; when it goes to the table, it belongs to the supervision of the health department; if the pig is exported To foreign countries, supervision by the inspection and quarantine authorities is also required.

Talking about the food safety supervision mechanism, Zhang Yong, director of the Office of the State Council Food Safety Committee, also admitted that the food safety supervision system has a long chain and many links. There are many problems with politicization, unclear responsibilities, and poor convergence. Testing and inspection methods are not strong. Problems such as weak regulatory power really need improvement. “China's chemical supervision is almost at a blank, and various types of chemicals such as 'food additives' are ramping up in the market, eventually leading to frequent food safety incidents,” said Wei Fusheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

It is understood that the Hong Kong food safety regulatory system consists of the Hong Kong Food and Health Bureau, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, and the government laboratory. The terms of reference are policy formulation, policy implementation, management of the food market and food inspection. . The Food Safety Centre under the FEHD is responsible for food safety supervision. It has now become the leading food safety regulator.

"We must ensure that food safety must change the management model. In the past, it was called crisis management. In order to strengthen supervision as a means, it is now to become risk management. Its essence is based on the establishment of a good production system, with the goal of confirming safety. We must have predictable prevention of possible problems and allow producers to be in awe of the problems," said Li Lite, vice president of China Agricultural University.

The construction of a multi-level supervision system calls for a unified coordination at the national level. How can we build an effective supervision system?

“Before a problematic incident, a whole-process supervision and prevention system can be established, and after the incident, the social notification mechanism will be launched quickly to punish companies and consumers.” Beijing Manfeng Investment, which focuses on foreign food safety systems Bao Huafu, a director of the company, pointed out that in order to promote the integration of various departments' resources, it is necessary to turn the entire food chain into a mature management process. From the farmland to the dining table is a full-process control, including the entire supervision link, from production, Planting, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and conditioners used in the middle, how they are produced, whether there is pollution during the production process, whether there is mold infection during storage, etc. Through such a full supervision, reduce some potential in the process risks of. "For the food industry, the biggest punishment does not necessarily have to be carried out through the administration or the law, as long as the information on the problematic product is truthfully published, and consumers will 'buy with their feet' will produce enough shock."

For people concerned about the issue of food additives, the Ministry of Health announced that at present, China's existing 2,314 kinds of food additives have a corresponding detection method, the detection and management of food additives in food residues and basically the same as in developed countries. "For inspection and inspection of food safety, we can basically meet the needs of food safety inspection work from the point of view of equipment and equipment, and it is also guaranteed." According to Tian Ye, general manager of Beijing General Analysis Instrument Co., Ltd., China At present, there are still four weak points in food safety testing. The first is the lack of monitoring techniques in production links. Many SMEs have almost no detection capability, lack of a complete quality control system, and there is a lack of self-discipline; The third is the current large amount of food circulation, a wide range, lack of rapid detection methods and equipment; Fourth, most food production and processing enterprises are generally lack of monitoring personnel, lack of professional training, business capabilities Extremely need to be upgraded. "It is necessary to make changes in these areas, such as the introduction of portable, on-site rapid test equipment that can detect results in minutes or even tens of seconds."

"To increase the illegal cost of food safety, in particular, to increase the degree of economic punishment, so that the perpetrators really feel better than the gains, and to investigate the responsible person's civil and criminal responsibilities." Bao Huafu said.

Ethical and moral self-regulation at the macro level, unified management and the implementation of relevant regulatory measures, these are all essential, but in the opinion of the experts interviewed, in order to truly control food safety, it also depends on the company's ethics and business Integrity. Chen Yongquan, a director of the Food Science and Technology Society of China and a professor at the Food College of South China Agricultural University, said that the nature of profit-seeking will inevitably induce some morally impaired companies to flee and break the law. However, the lack of supervision by relevant departments and lax enforcement have contributed to the arrogance of counterfeit foods. Between the low cost of punishment and the high profit of counterfeiting and counterfeiting, some bad companies prefer to choose the latter.

“The great decline in moral ethics in the food industry is even more terrible than the moral decline in social interaction.” Xu Yaotong, director of the Department of Science and Research at the National School of Administration, said that the quality of employees in the food industry is uneven, and the responsibility of the main body of the enterprise is insufficient. The establishment of an industry integrity moral system has lags behind, and a small number of enterprises and practitioners have lost their morality and are not good faith.

Li Lit believes that managers, producers, and sellers must take product quality as their own life, or protect their own quality and safety and protect the interests of consumers as their own beliefs. Treat safety management so that it can be truly managed. "Food safety is not about obtaining various certifications, but about obtaining social trust."

In fact, conducting food safety education and strengthening corporate self-discipline behavior has attracted national attention. The Food Service of the State Council issued the "Outline for Food Safety Publicity and Education (2011-2015)", which requires each person in the food industry to receive intensive training on food safety laws and regulations, scientific knowledge and ethics in the industry, and establish food safety education and education work. Long-term mechanism. In April of this year, the “Circular on Severely Cracking down on Food Additions and Enhancing the Supervision of Food Additives” issued by the General Office of the State Council clearly stated that it is necessary to strengthen integrity and self-discipline. By the end of 2011, all regulatory agencies will systematically deal with all food production and operations. Establish a food safety credit file. Industrial organizations such as food and food additives should effectively take up the responsibility for self-discipline in the industry, actively organize enterprises to conduct self-examination, self-correction and internal supervision, strengthen industry supervision and training, promptly identify problems in the industry and report to the regulatory authorities, and fail to promptly identify and The report is to be reported critically.
