The "Reply to Recommendation No. 0132 of the Fifth Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress" (hereinafter referred to as the "Reply") released on the website of the National Health Commission on January 19 announced the Ministry of Commerce, Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the National Health Commission and the General Administration of Market Supervision. , The specific content of the State Food and Drug Administration's reply to the "Suggestions on Promoting the Return of Rice Bran to Human Consumption and Improving National Nutrition" proposed by the National People's Congress.

　　The National Health and Medical Commission introduced in the "Reply" that at present, rice bran is mainly used to produce feed, and as a food raw material, it is mainly used to produce rice bran oil.

In recent years, the National Health Commission has actively cooperated with relevant departments to continuously introduce policies, improve industry standards, strengthen quality and safety supervision, popularize nutrition and health knowledge, and actively promote the development of the food nutrition and health industry.

Developing the rice bran industry and tapping the nutritional value of rice bran will help to reduce food loss and increase efficiency and national nutrition and health.

　　In response to the representative's specific suggestions on five aspects including "supporting the development of rice bran safe edible industry", the National Health and Medical Commission gave a reply in the "Reply".

　　(1) Support the development of rice bran safe food industry.

In 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs formulated the "National Rural Industry Development Plan (2020-2025)", emphasizing the encouragement of large-scale agricultural enterprises and agricultural product processing parks to promote the recycling, full-value utilization, and step-by-step utilization of processing by-products, and promote the use of rice husk, rice bran, and wheat The comprehensive utilization of by-products such as bran increases the value-added space.

In the same year, the "Guiding Opinions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Promoting Loss Reduction and Efficiency Increase in the Processing of Agricultural Products" proposed to guide grain and oil processing enterprises to apply low-carbon, low-consumption, high-efficiency recycling green processing technologies, and comprehensively utilize broken rice, rice bran, rice husk, and wheat bran By-products such as rice flour, rice noodles, rice bran oil and other food or food ingredients are developed to improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of grain and oil.

In 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will issue the "Implementation Opinions of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Implementing the Central Committee and the State Council's 2022 Comprehensive Promotion of the Key Tasks of Rural Revitalization", emphasizing the need to expand the source of edible vegetable oil and tap the production potential of rice bran oil and corn germ oil.

　　(2) Establish a harmless evaluation system for rice bran.

The rice bran raw material that meets the safety standards for human consumption is an important guarantee for the comprehensive development and utilization of rice bran and its return to human consumption.

At present, the standards for rice bran and rice bran related products formulated and implemented in my country mainly include: "GB/T19112-2003 Rice Bran Oil" national standard, "LS/T3320-2020 Rice Bran Meal", "LS/T3269-2020 Oil Rice Bran" industry standard, and rice bran Oil local standards, group standards, etc.

The State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves included the "Edible Grade Rice Bran" standard in the third batch of grain industry standard formulation and revision plans in 2018, and organized the drafting of the "Edible Grade Rice Bran (Draft for Comment)" industry standard, which has been open to the public for comments recently .

　　(3) Strengthen the safety supervision of rice bran products.

One is to strictly abide by the quality control of rice bran raw materials.

The rice bran processing link is the rice production link, and the key control nodes include rice cleaning, husking, and rice milling.

The production process should comply with GB/T26630 "Technical Specifications for Good Operation of Rice Processing Enterprises" and other operating procedures, the quality of rice raw materials should comply with product quality standards such as GB1350 "Rice", and the finished rice bran used for rice bran oil production should comply with LS/T3269 "Oil Use Rice bran" and other standards.

The second is to strictly implement the "four strictest" requirements.

Include rice bran oil in the "Food Production License Classification Catalog".

Require production enterprises not to purchase or use food raw materials that do not meet the requirements of food safety standards, implement management according to the risk level of enterprises and products, establish and improve food safety traceability systems, and ensure that quality and safety can be traced forward, reversed, and risks can be controlled .

The third is to strictly control the quality and safety of animal feed.

The state has promulgated and revised the "Regulations on the Administration of Feed and Feed Additives", and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has formulated "Rice Bran Meal as Feed Raw Material" (NY/T124-2019), "Rice Bran Cake as Feed Raw Material" (NY/T123-2019) and other agricultural industries The standard stipulates the sensory and physical and chemical indicators, quality classification, labeling, packaging and transportation of rice bran meal and rice bran cake, etc., as the basis for the quality and safety supervision of rice bran for feeding.

In recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in conjunction with relevant departments, has continued to carry out special campaigns against counterfeiting agricultural materials to crack down on the illegal production and sale of fake and shoddy agricultural materials. The quality of agricultural materials such as feed and feed additives has remained stable at a relatively high level.

　　(4) Increase the promotion and promotion of rice bran utilization.

Over the years, the National Health and Medical Commission has taken the opportunity of the National Nutrition Week and the "5.20" Chinese Student Nutrition Day to promote science popularization and education activities "entering communities, families, schools, supermarkets, and villages". Popularize knowledge about reasonable diets and the nutritional value of whole grains to improve residents' nutritional and health literacy.

The "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022)" proposes a balanced diet pattern of "diversified grains as the main food". It is recommended to consume 200-300g of cereals per day, including 50-150g of whole grains and miscellaneous beans.

　　(5) Include harmless rice bran (instant rice bran or edible rice bran) in the "medicine and food dual-use list" and "Pharmacopia".

The compiling outline of "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" (2020 edition) clearly states that the selection principles of "commonly used in clinical practice, definite curative effect, safe use, mature technology and controllable quality" should be adhered to.

In 2021, the National Health and Medical Commission issued the "Regulations on the Administration of the Catalog of Substances that Are Traditionally Both Food and Chinese Medicinal Materials", in which Article 3 stipulates: Food and drug substances refer to substances that are traditionally used as food and listed in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China At the same time, Article 5 stipulates the conditions for substances to be included in the catalog of food and drug substances.

At present, rice bran is not included in the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China, and is not within the scope of management of the food and drug substance catalog according to regulations.

　　Finally, the National Health and Medical Commission stated in the "Reply", "Our committee will continue to strengthen coordination and cooperation with relevant departments, actively support the research on the nutritional value of rice bran and rice bran by-products and the revision of relevant standards, and strengthen the harmless production and primary processing. The integration and application of chemical processing and other technologies will promote the reduction of food loss and the development of related industries. Continue to use the National Nutrition Week, the '5 20' Chinese Student Nutrition Day, etc. to carry out nutrition and health-themed publicity and education activities, and use new media to widely publicize the relationship between reasonable diet Knowledge."
