Source of risk: On September 11, 2015, the Tianjin Consumers Association released the “Tianjin Consumers Association Comparative Test Report on Vegetables,” and pointed out that 9 samples of organically certified vegetables were found to contain chlorothalonil pesticide residues.

Risk analysis: The report mentioned that for “Guanghegu,” “Junjian,” “Organic Farm,” and others, it was impossible to determine their organic product certification qualifications because the names of the producing enterprises were not indicated. Some certified organic product enterprises and their certification bodies also reported that the Tianjin Consumers Association was unable to verify to them that the sampled products were produced by the above two enterprises, nor did it provide key evidence such as product organic codes. At the same time, some institutions questioned whether the testing institution responsible for the testing, the “Tianjin Quality Supervision and Inspection Station No. 4,” had the qualifications to conduct fresh vegetable testing, and whether, after issuing test results involving food safety items, enterprises were given the opportunity for re-inspection and other sampling and testing procedural issues.Өгүүлэл нь ...-аас авсанFOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/mn/11544/
Risk tips: Recommendation 1. Consumers: Do not readily trust misleading publicity by websites or supermarket staff, and be alert to the impersonation of organic products by parties without organic product certification qualifications. When purchasing organic products, consumers should pay attention to identifying whether the product has the “three elements,” namely the national organic product certification mark, the name of the certification body (logo), and the organic code. Consumers can also check whether an enterprise is certified and whether its certification certificate is valid through the “China Food and Agricultural Products Certification Information System” (website: food.cnca.cn), and verify the authenticity of products through the organic code. 2. Regulatory authorities and certification bodies: Focus on violations such as the use of chlorothalonil in organic vegetables.
