First, the blending of aged grain, Sudan red, melamine, clenbuterol, dyed steamed bread, recycled bread, beef sauce and vinegar made people panic. Now, jelly for leather shoes and industrial gelatin yogurt have entered our ears again. Recently, food safety vicious incidents have appeared frequently. Where is the lack of supervision? What else can we eat?
Since CCTV exposed the incident of dyed steamed bread in Shanghai, a new "variant food" has appeared in the market. Expired steamed bread is recycled and soaked and then repackaged for sale. Additives such as preservatives and sodium cyclamate are randomly added by workers according to their experience. Normal cucumbers wither when they bear fruit, but there are cucumbers with flowers on their heads in Zhuhai's vegetable market. It is reported that this kind of cucumber is coated with contraceptives and estrogen to achieve the purpose of ripening, and people will have terrible consequences such as infertility and even sterilization after eating it; In Hubei, some vendors soak ginger in water and wash it, and then smoke it with chemical raw material sulfur. Compared with ordinary ginger, "Sulphur Ginger" looks Huang Liang and tender, and can fetch a good price in the market. However, sulfur, a chemical raw material, is harmful to human health; "Beef sauce" is said to belong to "flavor-enhancing food additive". According to the regulations, it should be made and used according to food, which belongs to "self-limited flavors and fragrances". In other words, we can't just say "the food with beef sauce is not safe", but it is not safe to use too much ... the food we eat now may have added various substances. These additive behaviors begin at the stage of seeds or seedlings, continue in the process of planting or feeding, and reach the peak when processed into food, and the human body is the ultimate destination of these harmful foods.
Perhaps many people trust the domestic catering giants and think that they are more reputable, and their food will not affect their health. If you have this idea, you are wrong! Many domestic catering giants have been exposed to various bad behaviors. The fried chicken oil of KFC is not changed for four days, and the freshly ground soybean milk of Yonghe Soybean Milk is actually made of soybean milk powder. The bottom oil of famous hot pot brands in Sichuan is filtered, packaged and reused, while Lamian Noodles in Dali is actually processed with cheap instant noodles.
In the round after round of turmoil, it is always indispensable to criticize the media, the rapid response of relevant departments, and the apology of relevant responsible persons. But what is it that makes people fall over and over again on the same stone? I think it comes down to the following reasons:
First, safety management is not standardized. A series of food safety incidents such as poisoned milk powder, poisoned chopsticks, poisoned lunch boxes and washed shrimp powder. Ultimately, all the reasons point to the lack of public supervision system. In fact, the public supervision system has always existed, but the supervision of all levels and departments has been discounted. If daily supervision is given according to relevant laws, regulations and responsibilities, rather than waiting for its large-scale spread and outbreak, it will effectively curb the occurrence of events that endanger people's health.
The second is interest-driven and huge market induction. Illegal businessmen often do harm to the health of diners for their own economic interests, because even so, as long as it is not caused by objective reasons, businessmen will not worry about huge profit margins. However, China has a large population, a large grain market space and a heavy psychology of following blindly. Any food will have a huge market as long as it is properly packaged, publicized and handled.
Third, some businessmen lack public morality. "All businessmen are unscrupulous" has been passed down in China for thousands of years, and there is a trend of further development in today's market economy and social form. There are always some businessmen who are seriously lacking in public morality.
In view of the present situation and national conditions of the food market in China, the food safety problems in China must be rectified by severe punishment and drastic measures, otherwise all kinds of "food safety" incidents will be difficult to intercept.
First, implement corporate and government responsibilities. Local people's governments at all levels are responsible for unified leadership, organization and coordination of food safety supervision within their respective administrative areas. All relevant departments should adhere to the combination of unified coordination and division of responsibilities, earnestly perform their duties and do a good job in supervision and guidance.
The second is to further improve and strengthen the responsibility system and accountability system to promote the smooth progress of food safety supervision. It is necessary to take effective measures to resolutely crack down on all kinds of illegal production and business operations in the field of food safety, seriously investigate and deal with acts of poor supervision, and truly enforce the law strictly.
Third, strive to improve the level of social moral conscience. Not harming others and benefiting oneself is the bottom line moral standard. However, in the noisy era of the supremacy of interests, the moral bottom line is always easy to be abandoned. In the construction of market economy, we obviously pay more attention to the profit-seeking nature of the market and ignore its morality. Many times, moral demands are even considered to be incompatible with the market economy, which cannot be said to be a cognitive deviation.
