In fact, Van Heng for the Sudan Red incident. There is also a lot of introspection.

As Fan points out, it is the management gaps in the relevant domestic functional departments that give Sudan dyes a chance to survive.

The management of food additives in China was first specially responsible for the food bureau of the former Ministry of Light Industry, and later, the state adjusted the division of labor for the inspection function of food: import and export food should be tested by the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau; The food produced by the enterprise must be tested by the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau; Sectors such as health and agriculture are also concerned about food safety.

The situation of multiple supervision of food safety has led to duplicate testing in some areas and no testing in others.

In the first few days after the domestic order to hunt down Sudan Red No. 1, the heads of some industry associations and industry experts concluded that Sudan Red No. 1 was only detected in a few countries, and that there were no domestic companies that manufactured Sudan No. 1 pigment, and no food companies added Sudan No. 1 pigment.

When asked why such a conclusion could be made without a specific investigation, the relevant person in charge of the China Condiment Industry Association could be said to be surprising, "because domestic condiment manufacturers have never been allowed to use Sudan Red No. 1 as a food additive." ”

In fact, it was not until long after the incident that the relevant industry associations issued an emergency notice to the public, requiring local catering establishments to immediately stop using food containing Sudan Dye, and strive to limit the harmful contamination to a minimum.

In response to this matter, Fan Heng specially invited some senior practitioners in the food industry to consult, and they said that Sudan dyes are not the only ones that can dye food red. There are many common ways to make red in the domestic market: red pepper and red hawthorn slices are smoked with sulfur, red sausages are mixed with formaldehyde, and orange water is blended with red paste with paint.

Although these poisonous red and poisonous food added to the poisonous food have been repeatedly seized and severely punished by the industrial and commercial quality supervision and health departments, and have been repeatedly exposed or criticized by the media, they are like pressing a gourd to float up the scoop.

An unavoidable fact is that there are not only Sudan No. 1 in China, but also various Sudan No. 1 such as formaldehyde and carmine.

The emergence of this incident once again shows that it is urgent to establish a new food safety early warning and response mechanism in China.

Some experts also pointed out that the current food safety early warning and emergency response mechanism should be strengthened as soon as possible from both hardware and software, and in terms of hardware, it is necessary to improve the evaluation standards of food safety. Although many standards have been promulgated in China, some standards are too old in terms of current social development, and in this regard, China must consider integrating with developed countries as soon as possible. In addition, food safety inspection techniques should be improved, which should at least ensure the rapid and accurate inspection of all types of food products on the market.

In terms of software, it means that the quality of the country's overall law enforcement team needs to be improved urgently, and the state should strengthen the training of law enforcement personnel to improve their ability to inspect and respond to food safety from both technical and experience aspects.

Meantime. The establishment of the national early warning mechanism for food safety, sanitation and epidemic prevention and the establishment of relevant emergency response systems should be based on standards acceptable to both the people and the government. The relevant departments of the state should cultivate the awareness of domestic food enterprises to do comprehensive quality control, and start quality control of a product that has not yet been released in the market planning period, and this control period should continue until the product loses its use value in the hands of consumers.

A large-scale encirclement and suppression operation against Sudan Red No. 1 in China has yielded fruitful results, and a variety of problematic products containing Sudan Red No. 1 produced by many enterprises, including Heinz and KFC, have been seized in Beijing, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Guangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Fujian and other provinces, autonomous regions and cities.

At the same time, the industrial and commercial departments have also locked in the source of Sudan No. 1 to provide food raw materials for the above-mentioned enterprises, and one of the companies produced nearly 20,000 kilograms of food raw materials containing Sudan No. 1 called "Chili Red No. 1", which has flowed to nine provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities including Guangdong, Guangxi, Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hebei, Zhejiang, Yunnan and Chongqing.

At present, industrial and commercial organs in various localities are organizing forces to step up the investigation and handling of these problems.

"Sudan No. 1 contains azobenzene, and when azobenzene is degraded, it produces aniline, a moderately toxic carcinogen. Excessive aniline is inhaled into the human body, which may cause tissue hypoxia, poor breathing, damage to the central nervous system and cardiovascular system, and even lead to infertility. A medical expert explained the hazards of Sudan Red No. 1 to Fan Heng and other State Council leaders, saying, "This harm is obviously very large, but I believe that in some foods produced in China, there should be some other prohibited additives that are far more harmful than Sudan No. 1." ”

A well-known female dietitian also said that in fact, imperfect food standards are not only common in China, but also in countries around the world. This is especially true for the safety management of ready-to-eat food, commonly known as fast food.

She believes that with the acceleration of people's pace of life, the consumption of ready-to-eat food has swept the world. However, what may seem like a simple ready-to-eat food contains very complex ingredients, and there are many types of ingredients.

In the UK, for example, there are more than 50 different ingredients in a piece of meat potato pie sold, including those that enhance the umami of food, emulsify, and increase consistency.

In addition, the food production chain for ready-to-eat foods is quite complex. Foreign experts believe that the complex food safety chain also makes it more difficult to track potentially problematic foods, such as 50 ingredients with 50 possible errors.

Relevant experts from the British agricultural and food inspection department believe that even if the British food inspection department has a strong ability and the standards of food additives are perfect, it will still have to face thousands of foods containing more than 50 kinds of ingredients, and it is difficult to ensure that the source and safety of the food can be 100% tested every time.

However, the food safety expert also pointed out that if modern human society loses these additives, some ready-to-eat foods will taste much worse than before, and various foods will face many new problems, such as microbial contamination and bacterial growth, and lack of nutrients.

"Specific to the domestic situation, illegal food companies unscrupulously reduce costs, but the detection technology of regulatory agencies has not been followed up in time, there is no prevention, only spot checks, no information collection in the processing process, only post-tracking and clearing, which means that the food safety system is actually in a passive and lagging situation." She said to everyone, "Therefore. When the relevant departments deal with these problems, they also need to strengthen the supervision of food. Of course, building a food safety system should not be a simple government action, but also require conscientious food companies to improve the food safety system control from raw materials to the table as soon as possible, and guide the food industry in a new direction. ”

This incident has also made Chinese people suspicious of some extremely trusted foreign brands, such as large enterprises such as KFC.

Due to the Sudan red incident, KFC has recently had to deal with a steady stream of litigation disputes, and under the siege of the media, it has to ponder whether to continue to implement the invoice policy that can be waived and refused to be refined.

In this case, KFC first claimed that its products did not contain Sudan dyes, and when the quality inspection department announced that Sudan dyes had been found in its products, it faced embarrassment and shifted the responsibility to the relevant suppliers. They claimed that they had repeatedly asked the relevant suppliers to ensure that their products did not contain Sudan Dye, and had obtained written assurances from the suppliers, but they did not expect that the suppliers had illegally imported raw materials containing Sudan dyes.

As a world-class catering company, it has always advertised the standardization, clarity and digitization of production procedures, and there is no safety mechanism for the supplier's products to be spot-checked again, is its entire quality and safety system reliable? Meantime. KFC has always been vague on the issue of consumer claims, and the image of international brands has been greatly diminished in the minds of Chinese consumers.

In fact, according to the definition of the internationally accepted SA8000 standard, corporate social responsibility is the ethical behavior of enterprises to society, that is, enterprises must take the initiative to assume responsibilities to the environment, society and stakeholders while earning profits.

The enterprise is the cell of the society, the society is the support of the enterprise, the development of the enterprise must need a large number of social resources and natural resources, and only let the society continue to progress and develop, the enterprise has a steady stream of resource support, in order to have enough room for expansion. Meantime. The society is also the source of corporate interests, and by assuming social responsibility and winning reputation and social recognition, enterprises can better reflect their cultural orientation and values, create a better social atmosphere for the development of enterprises, and enable enterprises to maintain their vitality and achieve long-term sustainable development.

China is a country with a large population and a big consumer.

It can be said that no multinational company seeking further development can ignore the existence of such a huge market as China.

In the past, due to long-term image promotion and good performance, multinational companies like KFC used to win the blind worship of many Chinese consumers, but with the maturity of Chinese consumers and the improvement of their awareness of rights and interests, this Sudan red incident is a sign that this blind worship of foreign psychology is being transformed into sober and rational.

In such a situation, whether multinational corporations take advantage of loopholes in policies and laws or deceive and fool consumers, they will inevitably lead to enterprises eventually being indifferent and excluded by this market.

However, the more worrying problem is the domestic food safety problem, or more of the lack of social integrity, from chili sauce, chili oil, cooked meat, instant noodles, salads and even to lecithin, cosmetics, no one can say how many types of Sudan dye products are around people.

At present, there is a serious lack of food safety laws and regulations in the field of domestic circulation, and some food standards have remained unchanged for decades, and the Sudan red incident is the fish that has slipped through the net with imperfect food inspection standards.

Through this incident, in addition to Fan Wuxian's jokes, which made Boss Zhu angry, the government did do some things to make amends, revising outdated food safety regulations and other laws and regulations.

According to the plan, the current national standards and industry standards for processed foods will be thoroughly cleaned up, some of which will be merged and eliminated, and some standards will be included in the new standard system after review. The cleaned up standards, together with the national and industry standards for processed foods that need to be developed in the plan, will constitute a new system of processed food standards.

In fact, this incident felt a little embarrassing. Although the domestic "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food Additives" prohibits the use of industrial raw materials as food additives, because Sudan dyes are not food additives, Sudan dyes are not included in the routine testing items, and the formulation of food standards does not take into account that enterprises will use industrial raw materials.

Therefore, Sudan dyes have never been tested in the past few years, and no unit has applied for Sudan dyes testing. Similar to the example of Sudan dyes, the whipped cream on the cake can not melt for several days, in fact, excessive additives are used in the cake, but there is no limit on the scope and amount of use of the main ingredients of cake oil in the current national standard.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, only 10% of domestic processed food standards adopt the standards of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, and only 40% of the standards of the International Organization for Standardization Food Technical Committee are adopted. At the same time, eighty percent of the national standards are non-mandatory recommended standards, and the monitoring is not strong.

In view of the current phenomenon of many and duplicate standards, the relevant departments said that they will optimize the standard structure of the standard integration, and will undertake the revision of tomatoes, peaches, mushrooms, corned beef, luncheon meat and other five international standards for canned products, and formulate international standards for green tea, brewed soy sauce and brewed vinegar, and study and revise the standards for special dietary food and dairy products, mainly infant food standards, food standards for the elderly and general principles for dairy products.

Fan Wuxian has a positive attitude towards these practices of the government, and he said to his father Fan Heng, "It is better to have standards to follow than no standards to follow, and it is obviously more effective to have detailed standards to follow than vague standards to follow." In fact, this incident also shows that some industries really need to make great efforts to rectify, just like many departments under the original planning system, which are no longer able to meet the needs of the new era, those that should be withdrawn and merged must be withdrawn, and those that should be added must be added, and the alternation of power is inevitable. ”

Fan Heng listened to his son's words and said, "The high-level does have this meaning, the voice of most ministries and commissions is very high, I think it won't be long before you can see the change, and this change will be relatively big." ”

There are no pop-ups
