Japanese Snickers were exposed to foreign objects, and the brand urgently recalled 30 1 10,000 products1May 1 5. The Japanese Snickers had another accident, and the Japanese Snickers were exposed to 7 mm glass pieces, which attracted people's attention.
According to Japanese media reports, Mars Group Japan said that its chocolate snickers were mixed with glass fragments, and some customers said that their teeth fell off after eating the product. After investigation, it was found that glass fragments with a length of about 7 mm were mixed in, so it was decided to recycle the goods produced by the same production line, including 30 1000 pieces. The recall involved 55 countries, but Mars China Company issued a statement saying that the recall did not include the China market.
It is understood that Snickers is a chocolate brand owned by Mars Group, which tastes sweet and salty and belongs to high-end products. 1930 is listed in the United States. Mars also owns other brands such as Dove, Ms, and Dove chocolate has also had food safety incidents, and the exposed products have had problems such as "green-headed flies" and "dead bugs".
Earlier, it was reported by the media that a consumer in a certain place in Liaoning ate a worm in Dove chocolate, and the worm was still squirming when the package was torn open. Dove's Mars Company responded that if the incident is true, the company will compensate according to relevant standards.
Some netizens said, what about the good craftsman spirit? Why doesn't the China market intervene every time something goes wrong? There are problems abroad, but there are no problems at home. Is it because the food safety standards in China are set too low? Or is everything sold to China the best without any problems? Attention must be paid to food safety.
Chocolate used to be synonymous with imported food, but now it is extremely rich in raw materials. Chocolate is no longer a novelty, but a candy. Candy is an unhealthy snack with high sugar content. Public thinking has also improved, so chocolate is not fragrant, people don't like it as much as before, and sales are declining.
Japanese Snickers were exposed to foreign objects, and the brand urgently recalled 30 1000 products. On May 3rd, 65438+3, Mars Group Japan Company, one of the largest food producers in the world, issued an announcement. Since the end of last month, * * * has accepted four accident complaints. A Japanese consumer ate 7 mm transparent glass, and another consumer lost a tooth by a foreign object in the Snickers!
After investigation, Mars Company found that the accident products all came from the same production line. If these foods that may contain dangerous foreign substances are allowed to continue to be sold in supermarkets, it may cause immeasurable losses to the brand Mars. Therefore, even if we bear huge losses, we must recover more than 3 million products produced on this production line on a global scale.
This faulty production line, according to NHK, comes from Mars' foundry in Beijing, China.
Although 100% cannot determine the source, Japanese netizens have poured their anger on "Made in China" in words.
Mars company except one sentence: "We apologize for the inconvenience. In the future, we will further strengthen our quality control system, strive to prevent the recurrence of "incidents" and make no other response.
M& Inc is a world-class food company with a history of 100 years. 19 1 1 was founded in America, and its famous products are M&Ms, Snickers and Dove Chocolate.
During the period of 1994, Mars built a production factory in Huairou District, China, marking the official start of the company's transfer of some industrial chains to China.
This move has met with a lot of criticism from western society. According to Australian media, Mars moved its snickers production line in Australia to China, which is an important reason for the large-scale unemployment in Australia.
However, the trend of transferring labor-intensive industries to developing countries will not be reversed by the criticism of a few media. Up to now, Mars has opened seven factories in China, including Guangzhou Yonghe Factory, Shanghai Songjiang Factory, Jiaxing Factory and Beijing Huairou Chocolate Factory, as an important part of its global industrial layout.
In 20 17, Mars Food also established the Mars Global Digital Innovation Center in China to carry out innovative cooperation with digital media such as Alibaba and Tencent. It can be seen that it attaches importance to China factory and China market.
At the moment when China is in full swing, such a major food safety accident is fatal to Mars Group itself and its factories in China.
First of all, it is necessary to clarify who is responsible. Is it really because "Made in China" is unreliable, as Japanese netizens said?
It is unlikely that 7 mm glass will be mixed with food in a factory that carries out normal quality and food safety management. However, it is difficult for such a large foreign body to pass the screening of raw material procurement of chocolate products.
If the above discussion holds, then the problem can be locked in two aspects, that is, broken glass is mixed in the production and processing process, and it has not been detected by the X-ray foreign body detector before leaving the factory.
Licensor has the obligation to provide equipment and supervise the production line of the foundry. If the domestic foundry produces according to the standards clearly put forward by Mars, Mars, as the licensor, will take full responsibility for the accident. If the OEM discounts its production standards, the producer will bear certain responsibilities, but Mars, as the authorized party, will also be mainly responsible for its dereliction of duty at the regulatory level.
As for whether the China factory involved will close down, probably not. Steve McClaren, president of Mars Wrigley China, once said that China is Mars' second largest market after the United States, and only in this respect, many foreign companies cannot cut with China.
But in any case, it is a blow to the reputation of China food factory. Nowadays, food safety problems emerge one after another, and consumers' confidence in packaged food is deteriorating. How to strengthen the process management from raw materials to production line to final screening to avoid the recurrence of food safety accidents is a problem that all domestic food brands and manufacturers need to think about together.
Japanese Snickers were exposed to foreign objects, and the brand urgently recalled 30 1000 products. Recently, some media reported that the Japanese company of Mars Group, a global candy giant, announced that its chocolate snickers will recall 30 1000 products, including the "Snickers Peanut Single Pack" with a shelf life of 1.8 and February 5, 2023.

The company said that some customers said that their teeth fell off after eating the goods. After investigation, it was found that a piece of glass about 7 mm long was mixed in it, so they decided to recycle the goods produced by the same production line.
However, Mars China Company issued a statement saying that the recall did not involve the China market. It is reported that this recall involves 55 countries. Most European countries have been affected, including Germany, Britain and the Netherlands, but the United States, where Mars is headquartered, has not been affected.
The reporter found out that this is not the first time that Mars Group recalled its products because Snickers found foreign objects.
As early as 20 16, it was reported that Mars announced that the discovery of plastic fragments in Snickers chocolate products sold in Germany might cause consumers to suffocate and decided to recall all products produced by the same factory at a specific time. Mars said that the product was produced in a factory in feher, the Netherlands, and there was a risk of suffocation. It will recall chocolate products from 55 countries, mainly European countries such as Germany, Britain and France and some Asian countries.
At about 0/4 o'clock on May 6th, the reporter found the telephone number of Mars Food (China) Co., Ltd. through Tian Yan, and dialed it, prompting that no one answered.
