Self-made "three noes" passion fruit puree sales page

As the year is approaching, some unique hand-held gifts are gradually becoming popular on the Internet. In the meantime, some self-made foods have been put on the coats of "hand-made", "family workshop", "private house" and "mother's taste" and penetrated into the lives of ordinary people through online shopping platforms. Many merchants selling homemade food will sell it to buyers with "preservative-free" as a selling point. However, many homemade foods sold online actually have potential safety hazards. Some sellers admit that food safety was not checked in the process of processing food, and the shelf life was judged by their own experience.

Zhu, a food industry commentator in China, said that many self-made food merchants do not have professional equipment and professional production knowledge, which leads to the potential safety hazards of this "three noes" food. For consumers, online shopping for these "three noes" homemade foods, once problems are found, it will be more difficult to defend their rights because of the lack of producer information. In this regard, experts pointed out that the online shopping platform should strengthen the supervision of "homemade food" merchants, and consumers should enhance their ability to identify and judge the hidden dangers of homemade food.

"Homemade food" has attracted attention on the Internet.

Some homemade foods, under the banner of "pure nature", are becoming gifts for relatives and friends. However, whether homemade food is safe has always been the focus of controversy.

Recently, a post entitled "What foods are absolutely forbidden for health" attracted attention on social media. As mentioned in the post, some netizens bought "newly dug passion fruit puree" on Taobao, and found that the bottle swelled after arrival, and the puree was sprayed everywhere after opening. In addition, the post also mentioned that this homemade food has no formal label, ingredient list, shelf life, nutrients and so on. And questioned why it can be publicly sold on the online shopping platform.

The content of the post immediately triggered a heated discussion among many netizens. Some netizens believe that homemade food will not add preservatives, and the raw materials are better and fresher, which is generally beneficial to health, while some health problems are only accidental and "small probability events". Some netizens hold different opinions on this. They think that self-made food can't guarantee hygiene in the production process, and if it is not properly sterilized and frozen during storage and transportation, it will also lead to food deterioration, which has great food safety hazards.

phenomenon

There are a large number of "three noes" homemade foods on the online shopping platform.

February 8, passion fruit paste, canned peaches, Chili sauce, snacks, tofu, dried meat, crispy rice, etc. They are all homemade foods that sell well on the online shopping platform. Without exception, these foods are often sold as "preservative-free", "pigment-free", "direct selling of origin" and "green health", attracting consumers to flock to buy them.

In addition to claiming excellent quality, the relatively low price is also one of the selling points. A merchant who sells newly-made passion fruit puree with a monthly sales volume of 5,440 transactions introduced that its product is "10 yuan Jin", while the price of passion fruit sauce sold by other regular manufacturers ranges from 15 yuan Jin to 30 yuan.

In order to show that it is "handmade", some homemade food merchants will also attach a production video to show how several people manually process and repackage food in an open environment. Although many sellers use plastic bottles, glass jars and other containers to pack these foods, the origin, production date and ingredients are not marked on the outer packaging of these foods, and the contact information or quality certificate of the merchants are not attached.

give exact information

Some sellers admit the lack of hygiene supervision.

Beiqing Daily randomly consulted a merchant who made passion fruit puree. He introduced his products as "clean and hygienic". However, in the comment area, many buyers exposed pictures, saying that the products they bought had peculiar smell, white foam-like unknown substances, the bottle body swelled, and the juice burst after opening. In this regard, the merchant explained that the problem can be solved by "immediately hardening the frozen (room) ice before opening it" after receiving the product, and said that the product "can be stored for about 3 months".

Regarding whether the safety and hygiene can be guaranteed in the production process, the merchant said that "all the buyers are regular customers, and the quality can be guaranteed", but he admitted that there was no safety inspection during the canning process, and it was necessary to "pay attention to hygiene" and there was no relevant qualification certificate.

It is learned from a merchant who produces and sells regular passion fruit sauce that the whole process of large-scale food production is strictly supervised, and the merchant must be able to provide consumers with information such as production license, product standard number, venue and ingredient list. And in the production process, employees' clothing and operation have corresponding norms.

The interview found that some "three noes" homemade foods without production date, quality certificate and manufacturer may have been "closely linked" with the daily life of ordinary people. In many comment areas selling homemade foods such as passion fruit paste and Chili sauce, many buyers of tea shops, juice shops and restaurants said that they had bought these raw materials for processing drinks and dishes many times.

Online shopping platform should strengthen qualification supervision

Zhu, a food industry commentator in China, said that many self-made food merchants do not have professional equipment and professional production knowledge, which leads to the potential safety hazards of this "three noes" food. He pointed out that taking the phenomenon of "bottle bursting of homemade passion fruit puree online" mentioned by some buyers as an example, it shows that the product packaging produced gas during transportation. "This is the result of microbial fermentation, indicating that the product has been infected by bacteria and has deteriorated." Zhu said that for consumers, such food can no longer be eaten, instead of "freezing before opening" as promised by merchants.

Zhu said that some self-made food merchants usually publicize "no preservatives and no additives" to make buyers feel that their products are more exquisite, safe and reliable. "In fact, this is a misunderstanding," he explained. It is relatively safe to use preservatives and food additives that meet the standard requirements, which will play a certain role in bacteriostasis and preservation, and better ensure the quality of products. He also reminded that for consumers, once these "three noes" homemade foods are found online, it will be more difficult to prove and defend the rights of the whole chain due to the lack of producer information.

Regarding the phenomenon of "three noes" self-made food flooding on the Internet, Zhu said that Article 62 of the Food Safety Law clearly stipulates that third-party platform providers of online food transactions should register online food operators with real names and clarify their food safety management responsibilities; If a license should be obtained according to law, the license should also be reviewed. "That is to say, from a legal perspective, it has long been stipulated that businesses selling food online must meet the requirements of' three certificates are complete', that is, they must have business licenses, food circulation licenses and food production licenses. Therefore, the online shopping platform should strengthen the supervision of the production, circulation and sales qualifications of homemade food. " At the same time, consumers should also establish safety awareness and enhance their ability to identify and judge potential safety hazards of homemade food.

Without products, it is better to eat less.
