Frozen contaminated "S. aureus" standard dispute, large enterprises "kidnapping" the new national standard of dairy products... 2011 China's food industry, the new national standard formulation, in the doubt and controversy. Does the new standard "progress" or "regression," and the threshold for the development should be "high" or "low?" How should consumers' interests be protected? Obviously, the formulation of a scientific national standard to resolve the “anxiety of food standards†of the public is a matter of utmost urgency and a popular aspiration.
"Forward and retreat" dispute: whether the new national standard reversing?
This year, disputes caused by national food standards are common. After many well-known brands of quick-frozen dumplings fell into the "Staphylococcus aureus gate," the new version of frozen rice products in the national standard will change this item from "not allowed to check out" to "limited detection," so many consumers questioned the standard "open reversing" .
The new national standard for dairy products has attracted more attention. In the new national raw milk standard, the protein content has dropped from 2.95% in the old national standard to 2.8%, and the total number of colonies per milliliter rose from 500,000 to 2 million.
“With the improvement of the production process, the standards should be continuously improved. How can we 'backwards'?†The doubts of Shanghai's consumers, Ms. Huang, are also what most consumers are puzzled by.
The Ministry of Health responded that, compared with past standards, the new national standard highlights the limited regulations and standards that are closely related to human health, including the improvement of the indicators of the products that can be seen on the “table of the peopleâ€. The standard is only high and it is impossible to "regress".
According to Chen Junshi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a researcher at the Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the conclusion that the new national standard “regresses†is certainly not correct. "Using two indicators to determine the number of indicators of the new national standard for dairy products 'regression' is based on partial analysis."
Professor Kim Tae-woo of the School of Public Health at Fudan University said that most of China's previous health standards were in line with the European Union and were the most stringent in the world. At present, many of the new national standards in China are made in comparison with the United States and are relatively broad, but the principles for development are certainly safe. Within range.
Experts also pointed out that there are indeed some phenomena where the standards obviously lag behind the developed countries.
The "threshold" dispute: Should the national standard be lower than high?
The standard “threshold†issue is also the focus of the debate. Many consumers questioned: From the perspective of food safety, the higher the natural standard is, the better; but in the process of the formulation of the new national standard, there is a “low-to-high-to-high†and allegedly relocating to a low-level enterprise.
How can the national standard setting threshold be determined? Chen Junshi stated that the formulation of the national standard is primarily scientific and reasonable; secondly, it guides the development of the industry and formulates standards that are operative and can be implemented. "If a new national standard can only be superior to the top, there is no practical significance for a single company to achieve compliance."
In fact, in addition to national standards, China still has a lot of corporate standards and industry standards, to encourage corporate standards higher than industry standards, national standards; that is, the national standard should be equivalent to the "lowest threshold", not the "ceiling." However, we must admit that there are indeed some “unreckless†large enterprises in the country and regard the “standards†of the national standard as “free-for-life gold medalsâ€.
"The new national standard has completely met the safety requirements. As far as China's status quo is concerned, the most worrying issue is whether standards can be implemented." Wang Guofan, member of the National Food Industry Standardization Committee and senior engineer, pointed out that many food processing companies in China are small, Due to the characteristics of scattered and chaotic, the phenomenon of excessive production and illegal additions in production has brought about a surge in the cost of supervision. "With the national standard, how to strictly enforce it is the real test."
The "kidnapping" dispute: Who has the final say on the national standard?
In the formulation of new national standards such as dairy products, several large giants in China have frequently entered the public's attention as the main body of formulation, causing confusion.
The Ministry of Health stated that the introduction of food safety standards includes the establishment of projects, drafting, open solicitation of opinions, review, approval and other links. Representatives of the business sector have only participated in the first two links. In the process of formulating a new national standard for dairy products, more than 70 experts were specifically drafted, of which only 9 were corporate representatives.
Kim Tae-soo pointed out that national standards ultimately serve the safety and health of all citizens. Therefore, they must absorb more public opinion and should not only “stood up†by the regulatory authorities and enterprises.
Criticism of standards regains social trust
The new national standard for dairy products, which triggered widespread doubts six months ago, has once again become the focus of public opinion. Faced with the focus issues such as "Mysterious Overturns" and "Scoophane Operation," public concerns have not disappeared despite the response of the health authorities that companies cannot "abduct" standards. In the context of the increasingly severe food safety environment, the key to quelling the “standard dispute†must regain public trust.
In recent years, due to the bad events such as melamine and problematic milk powder, people’s trust in the dairy industry has become precarious. The new national standard for dairy products is not the same as the quality red line on the indicator. It is better to say that the establishment and implementation process has encountered the “new threshold†of social trust.
Experts' suggestions and criticisms of public opinion can prevent the public from questioning “fermentation†if they can actively follow up with relevant government departments. The formulation of national standards for food safety is very professional, but it is more social, because it is inseparable from the lives of every people and is closely related to public support and trust in government departments. Therefore, we should pay special attention to protecting the right to information, participation, and supervision of the society, making the process of standard setting open and transparent, and responding to the concerns of ordinary people more meticulously.
