[Explanation] In late October, the commercial city market and the Yingchi Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market in Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province opened as usual, and the business of the merchants was much better than in the first half of this year.
However, shortly before this, a notice issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation disclosed that there are five stores involved in "excessive veterinary drug residues."
The reporter visited and found that the merchants involved did not know which link had a problem.

There are problems with the bullfrogs checked. I said that it’s not my business if there are problems with the bullfrogs. I sell it on a consignment basis. It is fined. It still affects us a lot. We are losing money every day. ?
[Concurrent] "Xiamen Seafood Store" (Hongxie Seafood Store in the notification) related personnel
This is what we bought from Xi'an, and they were delivered by Xi'an.

Because it is impossible for us to put other things, we put another thing, it will have a counterproductive effect, then we will suffer a loss, the original day sales were not good, not good, so we dare not put other things, You can only check from our purchase channel now.
[Explanation] This national inspection took 607 batches of food samples nationwide, and found that 9 batches of samples from 5 categories were unqualified.
What has caused concern is that the five “veterinary drug residues exceeding the standard” are in Qinzhou District, and the three types of samples sold for black-bone chicken, bullfrog and turbot are all enrofloxacin that do not meet the national food safety standards.

Nothing was found at the scene. As for the enrofloxacin veterinary drug mentioned in the test report, it was not found at the scene.
[Explanation] Enrofloxacin, a broad-acting bacteriostatic agent, has strong antibacterial activity against all pathogenic bacteria in aquatic animals, but long-term intake of animal foods that exceed the standard of enrofloxacin can cause mild gastrointestinal irritation. Or discomfort, large doses or long-term intake may also cause liver damage.
The Tianshui market supervision department stated that these substandard products are subject to recall in accordance with regulations.

Now that the case was filed for investigation, the quantity of these goods was also very small at that time. Some of the quantities were like a black-bone chicken. A mobile street vendor sent him a few black-bone chickens from the local area. All of these have been randomly checked, and they have not yet flowed into the market.
[Explanation] Kang Yi told reporters that many merchants did not establish detailed purchase and sales ledgers, and the batches of merchants that happened to be randomly inspected did not have documents and did not implement the "Food Safety Law" inspection system, so traceability is more difficult.
