in may, 2114, the revised draft of the food safety law was passed. China will implement the strictest whole-process management for food production, sales and catering services, establish the strictest supervision and punishment system, and guarantee "safety on the tip of the tongue" from the legal level.
1. The quality of operators is not high, and consumers' awareness of self-protection is not strong.
Some food operators have a weak legal awareness, a serious mercenary thinking and no attention to food quality; Some food operators seldom pay attention to the trademark, factory name, address, even production date and certificate when purchasing goods, because they only care about the price and rarely consider other factors; However, some consumers, constrained by low personal income, first consider the price factor, ignoring the inherent quality of products. Even when their legitimate rights and interests are damaged, most of them are eating problems and not defending their rights.
2. The knowledge and awareness of food safety are not high, and the momentum and atmosphere of food safety publicity are not strong.
Urban residents have relatively high awareness of food safety, while people in rural pastoral areas have low awareness of food safety and low self-protection ability, which indirectly leads to market demand for illegal food and living space for offenders. As food producers, especially farmers who produce vegetables and fruits, their awareness of food safety is generally low, and most of them don't know what pollution-free food, green food and organic food are. Therefore, let alone how to produce green food and organic food.
3. The production and sales of pollution-free food are out of line.
due to the high-tech content and high production cost of pollution-free food, and the low recognition of it by the people, the sales channels of pollution-free food are not smooth, the price has no obvious advantage, the high quality can not be obtained at a good price, and most producers and operators have not seen obvious benefits.
4. Fake and inferior food flows to urban-rural fringe and rural pastoral areas.
With the increasing supervision of food safety in urban circulation, it is difficult to find a hiding place for fake and shoddy food. Some unscrupulous traders take advantage of the problems of closed market information in rural pastoral areas, low consumption level of farmers and herdsmen, and lack of self-protection awareness to dump expired or about to expire food in urban markets to rural pastoral areas at low prices through "commodity fairs" and "delivery to the countryside", which makes rural pastoral areas a distribution center for fake and shoddy food. Illegal food processors have also turned from cities to rural areas, using local cheap labor to continue to illegally produce and sell fake and shoddy food, harming consumers in rural pastoral areas. The phenomenon of "small, chaotic and scattered" generally exists in these production and processing sites, and most of them are individual processing industries with rented houses and family workshops. The operators are not aware of food quality, basically have no testing equipment and means, and the housing facilities are simple, the quality of employees is low, the production conditions are poor, and the product quality is difficult to guarantee.
5. The problem of decentralized supervision and difficult coordination still exists.
The safety food chain from farmland to dining table belongs to the supervision of many departments, such as industry and commerce, health, quality supervision, agriculture and animal husbandry, etc. Because of the different management systems of these departments, the competent departments of people, finance and materials have their own owners, some of them play a supporting role when they should play the leading role, while others play the leading role when they should play the supporting role. Since the establishment of Tongliao Food Safety Coordination Committee in October, 2114, although it has changed the fragmented situation of various departments to a certain extent, there are still problems in integrating law enforcement forces, coordinating the pace of law enforcement, closely cooperating with operations, and exchanging information.
6. the government's investment in "food safety" is insufficient, and it is difficult to supervise the work in place.
In recent years, China has invested little in food safety supervision in the circulation field, and some testing equipment is aging and cannot be updated in time. In addition, some necessary testing equipment is still lacking. The funds for sampling inspection are seriously insufficient, so it is difficult to test the authenticity of food quality in time, and some unidentified quality problems often appear in the inspection, which greatly restricts the development of food safety supervision. Take the industrial and commercial department as an example, if you want to test, you can only entrust relevant departments in other places. For the food suspected of being unqualified, the supervision and law enforcement is in a passive state because it cannot be inspected in time and there is no legal basis for detaining it.
7. It is difficult to supervise and enforce food safety.
At present, there are many laid-off workers, and the influx of a large number of rural people into cities has further increased the employment pressure. At the same time, small-scale food production and management has less investment and quick results, so opening small shops, snack bars and small workshops has become the first choice for employment. Most of these people are psychologically unbalanced. Without any license, they start business with confidence, and they don't understand laws and policies. Therefore, they are often obstructed and resisted in law enforcement, and sometimes there is "violent resistance to the law"; Some business households are highly mobile. In addition, the source of food sold is unknown, the purchase channels are chaotic, it is difficult to obtain certificates and tickets, and it is easy to rebound. It is difficult to enforce the law, which brings serious hidden dangers to food safety, especially the problems of private slaughter and indiscriminate slaughter are still prominent in some areas.
Countermeasures:
1. Intensify the propaganda of food safety work and improve the food safety awareness of the whole people.
We should keep close contact with news media, attach importance to public opinion supervision on food safety, carry out publicity work in various ways, further strengthen social supervision through the active participation of news media and consumers, and strive to create a good public opinion environment and social atmosphere for food safety work. We should make full use of newspapers, radio, television and other propaganda positions to publicize laws and regulations related to food safety, publicize food consumption knowledge, publicize pollution-free food, advocate green and healthy consumption, earnestly strengthen positive publicity and consumer guide, create a good law enforcement atmosphere in the whole society, deter lawbreakers, educate the broad masses, expand the effectiveness of rectification, and establish law enforcement authority.
2. further implement the food quality responsibility system and accountability system.
from three aspects: defining the key points of remediation, implementing regional responsibilities, and strictly supervising and assessing, the quality assurance responsibility system is implemented, and responsibility letters are signed at different levels. The Municipal Food Safety Coordination Committee shall sign management responsibility letters with relevant functional departments, and the relevant functional departments shall also sign quality assurance responsibility letters with manufacturers, market organizers and business households, requiring business households to strictly abide by the relevant laws and regulations on food business, so as to be genuine and not to sell fake and inferior foods or expired and deteriorated foods. Innovative supervision mechanism, strict accountability, for food quality problems have adverse consequences or poor work lead to serious consequences, will be severely investigated for the responsibility of the relevant personnel.
3. Increase investment in food safety management.
strengthen investment in publicity work. Strengthen the training of technical and law enforcement personnel. Complete, complete and optimize the necessary monitoring and inspection equipment; Provide necessary sampling expenses. To strengthen food quality monitoring, it is necessary to establish a "tripartite interaction" monitoring system based on the self-inspection of market organizers, supplemented by the re-inspection of consumers, and guaranteed by the sampling inspection of law enforcement departments, broaden the field of sampling inspection, expand the monitoring coverage, and timely notify the published results.
4. Strictly control the entry of food business entities and the entry of food quality into the market, and push forward the food quality supervision. Strict examination and approval of the registration of food business entities, in addition to strengthening the pre-approval of new applications for food business, we should also fully investigate the applicant's business site, business scale and personal integrity. Strengthen the management of food producers and operators, urge them to establish and improve the quality responsibility system, and ensure the quality of food from the production and circulation links. Strengthen the daily supervision of food operators to ensure the consumption safety of the people. The establishment of food safety emergency mechanism, especially the functional departments entrusted with important responsibilities for food safety, should set up a rapid response emergency law enforcement detachment, formulate an emergency duty system, and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
5. Strengthen law enforcement and severely investigate and deal with major food cases.
it is necessary to effectively strengthen the investigation and supervision of major food cases, and deal with a number of major cases strictly and promptly according to law. It is necessary to establish a case investigation and cooperation system, and promptly notify the relevant law enforcement departments to investigate and deal with cases and clues outside the jurisdiction, especially to find out their purchase channels and sales destinations, and resolutely prevent the spread of fake and shoddy food. It is necessary to continue to carry out joint anti-counterfeiting activities with famous food production enterprises, and constantly improve the joint anti-counterfeiting mechanism. It is necessary to establish the information sharing and case transfer mechanism of relevant law enforcement departments, and promptly transfer cases that violate the criminal law to public security organs for handling.
6. Establish a smooth network system for information monitoring and notification.
strengthen the management and comprehensive utilization of food safety information, build an information communication platform among departments, and realize interconnection and resource sharing. Establish a regular publicity system for food safety information, set up a food safety information column on the website designated by the municipal government, regularly release comprehensive food safety information to the society, study and analyze the food safety situation in time, and achieve early detection, prevention, rectification and solution of food safety problems.
7. Establish a food safety credit supervision mechanism.
It is necessary to set up a special food inspection ledger, establish files for trustworthy enterprises and untrustworthy enterprises, and timely record the supervision of credit information, and untrustworthy enterprises will be included in the "blacklist". At the same time, publicity boards will be set up in various markets and supermarkets to publicize the operators (names, booth numbers and enterprise names) and unqualified commodity names and batches involved in food safety problems found in the inspection, release quality and safety notices and consumption warnings to the society, and focus on supervision of "problem foods" and enterprises listed in the "blacklist".
