In order to ensure food safety and guarantee that the general public can enjoy a happy Spring Festival, the Liaoning Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau and the Dalian Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision recently carried out a joint inspection of the holiday market for certified food and agricultural products in 10 districts, cities, and counties across the city. During this concentrated inspection, the Liaoning Inspection and Quarantine Bureau dispatched more than 20 person-times, and the Dalian Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision dispatched more than 60 person-times. A total of 10 supermarkets, 2 specialty stores, and 2 farmers“ markets were inspected. The inspection covered 124 batches of domestic organic products, 7 batches of imported organic products, 109 batches of green food, and 80 batches of pollution-free agricultural products, involving a total of 63 production enterprises; 60 other imported food products were also inspected. The inspection mainly covered the following aspects: (1) forging, fraudulently using, illegally trading, or improperly transferring certification certificates and certification marks; (2) using certification marks on products beyond the product varieties permitted by the certification body's certification certificate; (3) using certification marks beyond the validity period of the certification body's certification certificate; (4) labeling products or their packaging with ”organic products,“ ”organic conversion products,“ or simultaneously with terms such as ”pollution-free“ or ”pure natural“ without obtaining organic product certification; (5) labeling organic conversion products or their packaging as organic products or with the organic product certification mark. A preliminary investigation identified 8 problematic products, mainly involving issues such as labeling product outer packaging with misleading terms such as ”original ecology, mature, 100% pure natural" without having passed organic product certification, using certification marks beyond their expiration date, and non-standard use of certification marks. The problematic products are currently under further investigation and verification. Dalian Television, Dalian People's Radio Station, Dalian Daily, Dalian Evening News, Peninsula Morning News, and New Business Daily conducted follow-up coverage of this joint inspection.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11400/
This concentrated inspection by the Dalian Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, together with the Liaoning Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, of food and agricultural product certification sales areas such as shopping malls, supermarkets, farmers“ markets, and specialty stores in our city is a solid step forward in advancing the ”big quality work mechanism“ and the ”big quality culture construction,“ and is also an organic component of the recent ”double crackdown" work. It will certainly play a positive role in promoting the standardization of the certification market, improving certification effectiveness, and promoting the healthy development of the certification cause. In the future, the two bureaus will also cooperate closely, share resources, exchange information, form joint forces, and explore the establishment of more joint working mechanisms for certification law enforcement and supervision.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11400/
Deputy Director Ma Jun of the Liaoning Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau and Deputy Director Tang Yi of the Dalian Municipal Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision both stated that this joint inspection should be taken as an opportunity, and food and agricultural product certification supervision should also be advanced from the following aspects: First, supervision must be intensified, and a series of inspections should be implemented in a step-by-step and planned manner. In addition to inspecting certified products, on-site inspections of certified enterprises must also be conducted, and supervision and inspection must be carried out on the certification process and the effectiveness of certification results of certification bodies. Second, in addition to supervising the circulation sector, the production sector must also be inspected, so as to ensure the quality and safety of certified food and agricultural products from the source. Third, food and agricultural product certification supervision must be made routine and organically combined with other supervisory work of the department, so as to improve supervision efficiency and reduce the burden on enterprises. Fourth, a linkage mechanism for food and agricultural product certification supervision must be established and improved. Both bureaus must strengthen horizontal coordination with departments such as the Agricultural Commission and industry and commerce authorities, and jointly do a good job in food and agricultural product certification supervision, so that the public can buy with confidence and eat with peace of mind.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/am/11400/
