      Recently, the British Economist Intelligence According to the Global Food Security Index Report released by Unit, China ranks 42 out of 107 countries, and its comprehensive evaluation of food security capacity and food security status is "at the top of the middle and upper reaches of the world and among developing countries". However, Chinese people who have been repeatedly frightened by food safety incidents such as cadmium rice, melamine milk, gutter oil, leather gelatin and so on are hard to accept such a "good ranking". Recently, the chief scientist of the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center Researcher Wu Yongning proposed in an interview with our reporter ， The development of science and technology, interest driven and weak supervision will all become the "drivers" of the food safety crisis.

　　 Science and technology "double-edged sword" affects food safety

"Society will encounter different food safety problems at different stages of development." Wu Yongning first used the "double-edged sword" as a metaphor for technology in food safety

Question1: China Radio International: Why is milk powder contaminated by Botox? What is the harm? Is it related to beauty?

Researcher Liu Xiumei (technical expert of the evaluation center): There have been reports of botulism in infants, which is different from the pathogenesis of adults, not because they ate milk powder contaminated with botulinum toxin, but because the intestinal flora of infants is not perfect, and botulism propagates in the intestinal tract to produce toxins, but there are few reports. It happened in Britain in 2001, and it was found that the botulinum toxin isolated from infant feces and contaminated milk powder was the same. Compared with Botox, Enterobacter sakazakii is more harmful to infant milk powder, which is now a must check item. In principle, the process control of regular manufacturers is strict, and the probability of product contamination has been greatly reduced. At present, I understand that the relevant departments are conducting a comprehensive sampling inspection of milk powder on the market. I believe that there will be results soon, so don't worry about it. Although we hope to get results as soon as possible, the microbial inspection needs some time, and from the existing information analysis, A limited number of batches were contaminated.

Question2: Voice of China: What are the symptoms of foodborne diseases? How to prevent yourself from having symptoms?

Guo Yunchang: The range of foodborne diseases is very wide. The main manifestations caused by bacteria are abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, etc; The symptoms of diseases caused by chemicals vary greatly. What the public needs to do is to seek medical treatment in time as long as they suspect that they have infection symptoms. If possible, they should try to leave the leftover food for later inspection; But the human body also has an immune system

      The three-year food standard cleaning work organized by the National Health and Family Planning Commission will start from now on, and the results of the cleaning work will be open to the public for comments. Here is a detailed explanation of the whole work.

      1. Why should food standards be cleaned up?

      Before the promulgation and implementation of the Food Safety Law, there were a large number of food related standards in China, including national standards There are more than 2000 items, more than 2900 industrial standards and more than 1200 local standards. For more than 30 years, the ministries and commissions of quality inspection, agriculture, health and commerce have successively issued There are 5000 national and industrial food standards, which have played a huge role in China's food safety assurance. However, restricted by the development level of the food industry, risk assessment ability and other factors, some food standards have some prominent problems, such as the contradiction, overlapping and repetition of the standard content, the lack of some important standards or important indicators, and the scientificity and rationality of some standards need to be improved, which has brought many unnecessary difficulties to the implementation of enterprises and law enforcement by regulatory authorities. (See Weibo on February 4, 2013, and China Food Safety News: Standard cleaning lays a "foundation" for China's food safety

at present , China has entered the main flood season in an all-round way. High temperature, high humidity and frequent floods are the main characteristics of this period. Food is vulnerable to fly, bacteria and mold pollution. Therefore, our center specially gives the following food safety tips:

In order to cooperate with the annual food safety publicity week, the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center six month twenty-one The media open day was held , CCTV, China Radio International, Sohu, Sina, etc fifty Yu's media participated in the activity. Experts from the Secretariat of the National Food Safety Standards Review Committee introduced the management system of food safety standards in China and abroad to reporters, and introduced the progress of cleaning up food safety standards.

Fan Yongxiang, director of the first standard department of the Food Risk Assessment Center, said that after years of development, China's food standard system has formed a relatively complete system, and has gradually integrated with the international standards in terms of standard formulation procedures, principles and frameworks. But the integration of standards with international standards does not mean that

With the increase of temperature, food borne diseases caused by microorganisms also enter the high incidence season. Recently, there have been many mass food poisoning incidents caused by pathogenic microorganism infection in the country, especially the food poisoning incidents in school canteens, which have caused serious harm to the health of students and aroused great concern of the society. Many people were poisoned in these incidents, and most of the poisoning places were collective canteens. The main causes of poisoning were poor sanitation of food processing environment, indistinguishable raw and cooked food in the process of food production, lax disinfection of tableware, and food processing personnel's failure to pay attention to personal hygiene and bacteria carrying operations, which led to food pollution. For this reason, the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center specially gives the food safety tips for collective catering:

Today is the first day of the 2013 National Food Safety Publicity Week. Su Zhi, Director of the Food Safety Standards, Monitoring and Evaluation Department of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, made a keynote speech. The following is the full text of the speech:

Su Zhi: Thank you very much to the host and everyone. Thank you for giving me a chance to speak at the sub forum. Just now, I listened to Judge Wang Kun's detailed interpretation of the background of the judicial interpretation, which was very enlightening. Personally, I think it's very good. It's also a legal education for our administrative department. I'm engaged in food safety standards and risk monitoring and assessment, which are two more specific and professional responsibilities. Let me talk about my experience in learning judicial interpretation in combination with our responsibilities.

Su Zhi: As you know, food is very special. Its production and operation activities have made strict regulations. At the same time, our criminal law has long been involved in crimes against food safety. However, in recent years, the situation of food safety is still very serious, and serious malignant cases have occurred from time to time. Three major problems have been solved:

First, it solved the crime of endangering food safety, how to apply it specifically, criminal punishment, and established the criteria for conviction and sentencing of related crimes.

Second, it solved the administrative law

In this regard, Yesterday, the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center said that the standard cleaning work is under way and is expected to be completed by the end of this year According to reports, The National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center is entrusted by the Ministry of Health to manage various national standards related to food safety.
