Food residue testing is at the national level

Hefei Evening News reported that a unified food and drug supervision system was established to prevent food from adding to the chaos; promote the use of biological pesticides and solve the problem of pesticide residues at the source... Yesterday afternoon, at the group discussion meeting of the First Session of the Twelfth National People's Congress, the National People’s Congress Xu Jin, chairman of Anhui Kouzi Wine Co., Ltd., put forward some suggestions on food safety issues.

Establishing a unified food and drug regulatory system “Additives are an important aspect of food safety issues. Although the state has strict regulations regarding the types and amounts of food additives, a series of problems may arise during the actual operation process. The abuse of additives is a more serious phenomenon.” Xu Jin said in his speech that the state has explicitly prescribed 33 kinds of preservatives. There is an upper limit for the amount of each additive, but some businesses may extend the sales cycle of products, even if they do not add Adding one additive at a time, but adding several additives at the same time, results in the abuse of food additives. In addition, the production of some food additives is only a by-product of some manufacturers, failing to meet relevant standards.

Xu Jin also believes that multi-headed management is one of the important causes of food and drug safety problems. According to reports, China's food standards are set by the Ministry of Health, and the industrial and commercial bureaus and food and drug administrations carry out market management. Each department has a division of work according to functions. In the specific implementation process, it is inevitable that there will be poor communication and thus emerged. Problems such as lack of supervision and law enforcement.

In this regard, Xu Jin suggested that the state should establish a unified national food and drug supervision system as soon as possible to solve the long-standing management problems in food and drug supervision, and severely crack down on illegal food and drug activities.

It is forbidden to try bio-pesticides with highly toxic pesticides. Food safety issues should be tackled at the source. How to ensure food safety for agricultural products is the key to tracing the source and supervising pesticide residues.

How to supervise the problem of pesticide residues, Xu Jin put forward two suggestions: First, the prohibition of the production and use of highly toxic pesticides, respected biological pesticides; Second, as soon as possible to develop pesticide residues detection equipment, strict management of pesticide residues.

“The problem of pesticide residues is daunting. From the perspective of market supervision, the detection system is still not perfect.” Xu Jin said that in the actual use process, everyone did not pay attention to this issue, but this issue is related to the people’s livelihood and even safe, should rise At the national level.

“Can we combine the use of biological pesticides with the national preferential agricultural policies and encourage farmers to use ecological pesticides by granting relevant subsidies, and strictly control the use of highly toxic pesticides by farmers.” Xu Jin said that although the state has banned the production of highly toxic pesticides, Some countries may, for the sake of profit, still produce as usual. For this phenomenon, the state should further improve the relevant supervision system. Once this phenomenon is found, it must not only impose punishment but also investigate criminal responsibility.

Talking about biological pesticides, Xu Jin has his own experience. According to reports, 15 years ago, he focused on the problem of pesticide residues. He also deliberately sought 50 mu of land for the experiment. The results showed that using biological pesticides can also make crops grow well. “Compared with some highly toxic pesticides, the cost of biological pesticides may be higher. It is recommended that the country combine the promotion of the use of biological pesticides with the benefits of agricultural policies and provide farmers with certain compensation according to relevant standards.”
