The theme day of Xuhui District Food Safety Publicity Week was held on June 25th. At the same time, the group standard "Takeaway Food Packaging" was released on the spot, and the two types of "food safety locks" in export packaging were quantified. This is also the first time that standards have been set for these food delivery "goalkeepers" since Xuhui District cooperated with Meituan Takeaway last year and took the lead in putting 6,543,800+delivery seals in Xujiahui area.
Since last year, citizens who work and live in Xujiahui have almost always received a yellow seal if they order food on the Meituan takeaway platform. This disposable "food safety lock" which is sealed and meets the requirements of food-grade environmental protection is designed by Xuhui District Market Supervision Bureau and made by Meituan Takeaway. By simply pulling, pulling and pasting, a "safety buckle" was sealed on the takeaway package with a small buckle or sticker, so that the takeaway brother could not open it during the delivery process, which prevented the takeaway food from being dismantled, leaked and scattered in advance. After the first batch of 50,000 "food safety locks" were used by catering merchants in Xujiahui shopping malls such as Meiluocheng, Meituan Takeaway took the initiative to make 4 million seals, of which 6,543,800+100,000 were placed in Xujiahui business district.
Tao, the person in charge of Meituan's takeaway platform, said that after the platform provides the seal to the merchants, the merchants need to add a step to tie the food safety seal to the meal when selling the packaging. When the takeaway brother came to pick up the goods, he got the meal that had been sealed. If the consumer finds that the label is broken, he can refuse to accept the meal sent by the rider. "For the platform, the use of food safety stamps can effectively reduce the risk of food safety problems in distribution, and also solve the situation of food packaging transfer or meal leakage. These are the pain points of the platform."
The reporter learned from Xuhui District Market Supervision Bureau that the group standards of "Take-away Food Packaging Part 1: One-time Deduction" and "Take-away Food Packaging Part 2: One-time Seal" compiled by Xuhui District Food and Drug Safety Association are divided into seven parts, including scope of application, classification, model, quality requirements and inspection rules, involving the functions, classification, specifications, identification and mechanical properties of "food safety locks".
For example, the disposable button-shaped "food safety lock" can be divided into strip-shaped disposable buttons and cylindrical disposable buttons according to its shape; Disposable sealed "food safety lock" can be divided into sheet seal and roll seal. In order to ensure the use effect, the standard clearly stipulates the performance of buckles and seals. For example, the disposable buckle should have certain elasticity, and the locking process should be stable, not jamming or slipping. The group standard even stipulates that the tripping strength of disposable buckles is more than 50 Newton, and the longitudinal breaking force of each disposable seal with a length of 15 mm is more than 50 Newton. ...
"For catering businesses, food safety is only 100, 0." He said that the food safety and personnel training standards of many restaurants are higher than those of the food delivery platform, but the transportation, storage and bumpy distance during the food delivery process will have an uncontrollable impact on the appearance and quality of food. "If there is a problem with eating in a restaurant, the merchants still have the initiative to solve it. However, if the customer delivers through a third-party platform, in case of food safety problems, the cost of repairing the reputation of the merchant will become very large. " Jin Yijun said that the use of "food safety lock" is expected to reduce disputes on the distribution platform by 30% to 40% for merchants, so even if one step of packaging will increase the labor cost and procurement cost for merchants, it is still a favorable measure in the long run.
