"Safety on the tip of the tongue" can't afford to hurt! The food industry should wake up from the "Laotan sauerkraut" incident
time：2023-08-08
On the morning of March 18, at the scene of the incident reported by "Laotan Sauerkraut"-Zaiqi Town, Huarong County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, an emergency mobilization meeting on the standardized development of Huarong mustard and the "Year of Quality Construction Improvement" was being held. The main responsible persons of the party committee and government of Huarong County, 32 enterprises, five mustard planting cooperatives, and 25 mustard farmers gathered together to express their views and discuss the way out on how to recognize their own mistakes, quickly investigate and rectify them, and standardize the processing process.
In recent days, Yueyang, where the incident occurred, has carried out a special campaign to investigate and rectify food safety in the whole city. Four heads of the market supervision bureau have been suspended and removed from their posts. 109 related enterprises have been suspended for investigation. The legal person of the enterprise involved has been controlled by the public security. The production facilities and equipment, the products and raw materials involved have been sealed up, the relevant sauerkraut package (instant noodles) has been removed from the shelves, and the enterprise has issued a product recall announcement.
The rectification of the incident site can be described as vigorous. However, it is unknown whether it is too late to mend the fold after the sheep is lost. You know, food is the most important thing for the people, and food safety is always a red line that cannot be hurt or touched. How many well-known brands have fallen into the sand on this issue, some have made a comeback and won back the trust of consumers, while others have collapsed and withdrawn from the market forever.
On the other hand, for the entire food industry and local governments other than "Laotan sauerkraut", I am afraid that they cannot hold the mentality of "eating melons" to watch the excitement, but should be vigilant and take active actions to find problems. Consumers expect that the food industry can take this opportunity to make a thorough self innovation and keep the "safety on the tip of the tongue".
According to relevant statistics, as of the end of 2021, the number of enterprises above designated size in my country's food industry reached 8496, and the number of small and medium-sized enterprises and production workshops was even larger. The food manufacturing and processing industry has the characteristics of multiple points, wide coverage, small investment, and quick results. It plays an important role in expanding employment, stabilizing the economy, and promoting development. It is an industry that enriches the people in many rural areas.
At the same time, it is undeniable that the overall level of China's food manufacturing and processing industry, especially the primary processing industry of agricultural and sideline products, is still relatively low, and the primary processing industry of agricultural and sideline products in some areas is in the transitional stage of transformation and development. there are often cases where the scale is bigger, the technology can not keep up, and the management is lagging behind. Some traditional production methods can no longer be tolerated by modern people's hygiene concepts; extensive food hygiene management and inadequate system implementation are everywhere. In this pattern, there is a certain inevitability of the "Laotan sauerkraut" incident.
To learn lessons from the "Laotan sauerkraut" incident, it is by no means limited to the relevant departments and enterprises in Huarong County and Junshan District of Yueyang City. The entire food industry and the location should take warning, draw inferences from one another, and come to a thorough self-innovation. The large-scale investigation of local government departments should not be limited to the sauerkraut industry, and should not stop at simple operations such as sauerkraut being removed from the shelves. It is necessary to conduct a comprehensive and careful screening in combination with local conditions to see how many "Laotan sauerkraut"-style food hygiene and safety risks there are, so as to promote the rectification process, standardized development, transformation and upgrading of the main body of food production and processing, instead of food. The responsible persons of all kinds of food enterprises and workshops in various places should take warning, not take chances, be in awe of consumer interests, food safety, and market rules, conduct self-examination and self-correction, rectify and upgrade as soon as possible, and standardize long-term management. Otherwise, the next time you "roll over" and "smash cards", it may be yourself!
