Beijing, 5 May (ZXS) -- "The quality of grain has a bearing on every common people," Huang Wei, deputy director of China's State Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, stressed at a news briefing held by the State Council Information Office on 11 May. ”
Some media asked, "In recent years, rice with excessive cadmium and wheat with fungi exceeding the standard have attracted public attention, what measures are there to ensure food quality and safety?" ”
"The problems mentioned by the reporter are caused by soil water pollution, climate and environmental changes, etc., and the key is how to deal with them," Huang Wei said, "We do a good job of monitoring and inspection, if contaminated food is found, we must dispose of it in a timely and effective manner, and ensure that contaminated food is absolutely not allowed to enter the ration market, which is a red line." ”
The first is to move the monitoring threshold forward. Carry out quality and food safety index monitoring in the acquisition process, timely grasp the quality and safety status of newly harvested food, take the initiative to grasp the grain situation of contaminated food in advance, and strive for the initiative for the first time disposal.
Second, strict quality inspection. Through the national, provincial, municipal and county food quality and safety inspection and monitoring system, increase investment in inspection technology and equipment, comprehensively improve the functions of food quality and safety inspection institutions and laboratory laboratories distributed throughout the country, and create better conditions for the good entry and exit of grain.
The third is to resolutely dispose of it by category. In the purchase process, after the contaminated grain is found, it is purchased at a designated point, stored in a special warehouse, and supervised throughout the process, and cannot be mixed with other grains that are generally circulated, and closed management should be carried out. In the storage link, according to the purpose of use, it is necessary to carry out regular and irregular sampling inspections of the quality of stored grain, accurately grasp the quality of grain, and resolutely ensure that food that does not meet food safety standards is never allowed to flow into the grain market and food production enterprises.
The fourth is to strengthen the implementation of party and government responsibilities. Comprehensively consolidate the work responsibilities of party committees and governments at all levels. On food safety issues, according to requirements, the state has established a linkage mechanism for various ministries and commissions, and governments at all levels have established a systematic supervision system, incorporating relevant work into the joint responsibility assessment of the party and government, and vetoing if there is a problem.
"Since 2006, every year the government has organized risk monitoring of grain quality in the purchase and storage process, according to the information we have, the overall situation of China's grain quality is good and safe, please rest assured." Huang Wei emphasized. (End)
