Chapter 327: Declaring War on Water-Infused Meat

After several months of intense preparation, the Carrefour Supermarket Commodity Quality Inspection Center, which was built with the assistance of Vorma Group of the United States, finally entered the stage of trial operation. This six-story building, which was originally located in the suburbs of Fengyuan and next to the Carrefour supermarket logistics and distribution center, has now changed greatly.

In front of the door of the small building, several men and women in white coats are looking forward to it, today is the day of trial operation of the commodity quality inspection center, it is said that not only the company will come, but also the big boss behind will also attend. At such an important moment, they were both excited and a little apprehensive. After all, in Huaxia, the commodity quality inspection center of private enterprises, I am afraid this is still the first.

"Director Xu, isn't it too shabby for a few of us to greet here?" someone said softly.

Xue Xingwu, director of the Commodity Quality Inspection Center, is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a white face and a strong bookish atmosphere. He originally worked in Fengyuan's Quality Supervision Bureau, but was later poached by the personnel department of Carrefour Supermarket and became the head of Carrefour Supermarket's first commodity quality inspection center. The people next to him are all cadres of the testing center.

Xue Xingwu shook his head slightly, his colleague had not yet separated the set of state-owned units and private enterprises that were ushered in. Yesterday, he received a notice from Fang Ya, assistant to the general manager, that the leaders would come to inspect, and Fang Ya also specially reminded him that he didn't need to do any tricks when greeting, and the focus should be on work.

It didn't take long for five cars to drive into the courtyard, and several people immediately greeted them excitedly.

"Mingyuan, this is the director of the testing center," Fang Ya got out of the car and was looking around.

"Fang Shaohao, welcome to the center to inspect and guide the work," Xue Xingwu said a little nervously. He had long heard that the nephew of the chief economic assistant was the actual controller of Carrefour Supermarket, although he did not hold any position in Carrefour Supermarket, but his decision also represented the decision of the major shareholder of Carrefour Supermarket, Fang Jia, which is an important person who can determine his future work.

For being able to come to work in the Carrefour Supermarket Commodity Quality Inspection Center, Xue Xingwu is still very satisfied. Not only because of this, but only the monthly salary income is several times his income in the Quality Supervision Bureau, and if you count other benefits, it can be ten times his original income. What's more, he feels that here, he can really put what he has learned into practice, rather than sitting in an office every day with a pot of hot tea and a few newspapers. To inspect a commodity, a report cannot be issued according to the actual situation, and you have to listen to the instructions of the leader. Look at those things that originally did not meet the standards, just like that, stamped with a big seal of qualification, and flowed into the market.

"Director Xu, General Manager Sun can't come back today to participate in the trial operation ceremony of your center, so I came on his behalf. I can't talk about any inspection and guidance work, after all, I'm just a layman, and you are professionals. There is no reason for a layman to guide a professional. Fang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and shook his hand and said, "I just came here to make a few requests." ”

Fang Mingyuan talked a few more words with several other cadres from the testing center, and then walked into the small building. Xue Xingwu accompanied him, and while walking, he explained to him the settings of various departments in the center.

"Director Xu, although your center was set up late, but it is one of the most important departments in the company, your work is good or bad, but it is related to the future development of the company, but also related to the company's future reputation, so for Director Xue and you, the future is a long way to go. Fang Mingyuan casually looked at the bright glass window, and the staff who were working said, "You grasp the quality of the goods before they are put on the shelves." In particular, those commodities that are related to the health and life safety of the people cannot be missed. ”

Xue Xingwu's white skin has become red, on the one hand, because of the importance he attaches to the work of the quality inspection center revealed in Fang Mingyuan's words, and on the other hand, because among the employees of Carrefour Supermarket, this young man's entrepreneurial history has been completely deified. Xue Xingwu sometimes thinks about what kind of child he is, who can resolutely decide to establish Carrefour Supermarket during primary school, and in just a few years, it has developed into the largest supermarket chain enterprise in Qinxi Province, and is radiating to the whole country.

"In the future, all the goods purchased by Carrefour supermarket, must have your center test report, before they can be sold in the supermarket, it can be said that you have a lot of power in your hands, and even can decide a certain manufacturer, some products, whether you can enter the Carrefour supermarket sales of the power, I believe that there will be a lot of people who ask for your head in the future, and all kinds of temptations will emerge in endlessly. However, I hope you can understand that the reason why the company set up this department, and give you a high salary of good intentions, but also to pat your chest, ask your conscience, don't let those fake and shoddy products, through our supermarket, flow into the market, what about others, that is not our control, but we ourselves, must do the work in place, so that convincing As long as you can come up with real evidence to prove your test results, then it is a big trouble, that is also the company's business" Fang Mingyuan said solemnly.

The reason why Fang Mingyuan deliberately asked Woerma Group for this set of testing equipment was that he thought that the food safety accidents in Huaxia in his previous life were endless, and people were already complaining about it. Dioxins, tainted milk powder, Sudan dyes, peacock green...... These names, which people don't pay attention to now, are indelible pain in Fang Mingyuan's heart. In his previous life, he was just a semi-otaku, his income was not high, although he didn't often eat out, but he also understood that he was cooking and eating at home, and he couldn't escape the doom of food pollution, the only difference was that he made it at home, and he might eat less.

In this life, he now has a huge amount of wealth that he couldn't have imagined in his previous life, so it is gratifying to do a little more for this society, even if it can slightly change the angry or regretful results in his previous life. In his previous life, didn't Ding Lei, CEO of NetEase, also go to the sea to raise pigs, and he also declared that he did not expect to make money from pig farming, but just hoped to use capital, jishu and insight to bring a set of safe and sustainable food production models to the society. Although Ding Lei did not say it explicitly, an IT company that has nothing to do with food hopes to change the current crisis of trust in food safety, which shows how urgently China's food regulatory system needs to be reformed. Fang Mingyuan also hopes that he can contribute to it, not to mention that this is also for his future health

Xue Xingwu naturally nodded his head again and again, and repeatedly guaranteed that the quality inspection center would strictly follow the national laws and the company's rules and regulations, strictly control, and never let those goods that did not meet the standards flow into the supermarket.

"Director Xu, what is this testing?" Fang Ya noticed that in the department next to him, six staff members were cutting pieces of fresh meat into small pieces, some of which were placed under a microscope for observation, and some of which were put into test tube bottles......

"Ah, this is our fresh meat testing room, which is mainly responsible for testing whether the meat quality of various cattle, sheep and pigs on the shelves meets the national standards. It includes several major aspects such as seeing if there are parasites in these meats, whether there are excessive drug residues, whether it is water-injected meat, whether it is sick and dead livestock, etc. Xue Xingwu knew that these people were laymen in the testing of meat products, so he also explained them in easy-to-understand language as much as possible.

Fang Mingyuan's footsteps immediately stopped, and he muttered for a moment and said: "Director Xu, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since you have seen it, then please ask Director Xue to talk about food safety matters in this area." ”

Xue Xingwu beckoned people to set up a table outside the glass window, brought a few pieces of fresh meat, and placed them on the table. "Fang Shao, this meat testing includes many aspects, and due to the problem of time, I will not explain them one by one. As far as China's current market situation is concerned, the most serious thing at present is the flood of water-injected meat, which refers to raw meat that is artificially added with water to exaggerate the weight and increase profits. This happens mainly with pork and beef. ”

Xue Xingwu picked up a piece of meat from the table, held it in his hand and said: "This piece of meat is water-injected meat, its flesh is red, if you inject more water, it will turn white." You see, when I squeeze it hard with my hands, the juice will seep out, and after squeezing, it will be difficult to return to its original shape for a long time. And normal meat is generally dark red and elastic, squeezed like I did, and it will quickly return to its original shape. And ......"

Xue Xingwu talked for a full seven or eight minutes before putting the meat back on the table. "The phenomenon of injected water meat first occurred in the south, when after the opening of the pig purchase and sales market, there were thousands of slaughterhouses, those pig sellers in order to make huge profits, in pigs, cattle to be slaughtered to their stomachs to pour a large amount of water, increase gross weight; or after slaughtering into the heart of a large amount of water, water through the capillaries quickly spread to the **, increase the net weight; or soak the meat pieces in water, with water to pass off the weight of the meat, so that the water money into meat money. ”

"If you say that the water-injected meat just makes people pay more, that's fine. It's just that we originally ate meat to take in nutrients, but water injection made the meat quality of pigs and beef lose their nutritional value. This practice is not only profitable, but can also cause illness and death. Xue Xingwu said indignantly, "In the past, when I went down to inspect the quality supervision bureau, I often found that many people injected sewage into the meat, and these water mixed into the meat will cause the fibrous tissue in the meat to deteriorate, which will not only cause the meat to be of bad quality, perishable, and poor taste, but also the nutritional value of these meats will be greatly reduced." The most hateful thing is that some slaughterhouses often use old pesticide sprayers to fill pork with water, and these sprayers often contain pesticide residues. However, because the concentration of pesticide residues is small, people generally do not get poisoned immediately after eating water-injected meat, so it is often ignored by many people. However, after eating water-injected pork containing pesticides for a long time, it will lead to the accumulation of residual pesticides in the human body, which may eventually lead to genetic mutations, cause diseases, and in severe cases, cause cancer, and if it is a pregnant woman, it will also cause fetal malformations, etc., which is the difference between this and killing people for money."

Fang Mingyuan nodded, Xue Xingwu said well, in the previous life, water injection meat was rampant for more than 20 years, and the state issued N policies and carried out M governance, but due to various reasons, the work of the relevant departments did not see any practical results. And as time goes on, these people have a lot more means. In addition to sewage, other ingredients are added to it to dilate blood vessels, store more water, and even achieve the goal of fascination. For example, the injection of blood water can darken the color of the meat, the injection of alum water can play an astringent role, the injection of brine can make the color of the meat bright, make the protein coagulate and retain water, the injection of industrial pigments will also make the meat appear bright red for a long time, but its substances will be easy to produce carcinogenic lesions, and even more, in order to prolong the storage of meat, preservatives are added to the water, which directly poisons people.

"Second uncle, in my opinion, the first shot of the quality inspection center will start from putting an end to water-injected meat. Fang Mingyuan turned his head and said, "Starting next week, all fresh meat sold in Fengyuan City must have a test report from Director Xue before it can be put on the shelves." When I went back and contacted the media, I said that Carrefour Supermarket pays attention to the health of the public, and guarantees that the meat sold will never be injected with water, and the bad one will lose 100 well, and notify the procurement department to increase the purchase price by 5% on the existing market price, but the other party must ensure that there is no water injection. And once the water injection is found, the other party's loan qualification will be cancelled within half a year, and they are not allowed to apply for Sister Lian, the simple testing methods that Director Xue said just now, you have written it down, go back and let the office print it out, and post one on the fresh meat counter of each supermarket, and welcome the general public to seriously supervise our work."

"Director Xu, look at my brain, this time may be a bit rushed, can you guarantee the completion of the task?" Fang Mingyuan remembered that he had patronized and gave orders, but he didn't ask Xue Xingwu if there were enough people here. In Fengyuan City, there are now seven Carrefour supermarkets, and the raw meat sold every day is counted in tons. Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but wonder if it was better to run a slaughterhouse by himself, so that he could control it from the source.

Xue Xingwu slapped his face excitedly and said: "Great, Fang Shao, even if we work overtime at that time, we will definitely not make a mistake."
