The Ministry of Agriculture urges to strictly fight the illegal addition and abuse of food additives

The Ministry of Agriculture held a video conference on severely cracking down on the illegal addition and abuse of food additives. On the basis of summarizing the special rectification and supervision of illegal supplements such as "Clenbuterol" in the previous paragraph, the Ministry of Agriculture combined and implemented the nationwide crackdown on the illegal addition and abuse of food additives. The spirit of working video conference calls and the “Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Severely Cracking Down on the Illegal Addition of Foods and Strengthening the Supervision of Food Additives” require that the agriculture system severely crack down on the special work of illegally adding and misusing food additives, and then redeploy and supervise them. Deputy Minister of Agriculture Chen Xiaohua emphasized at the meeting that agricultural departments at all levels must make greater determination, spend more effort, think of more measures, use stricter measures, and further promote the special rectification of illegal additives such as "lean meat essence". Ensure the safety of agricultural industry and the safety of agricultural products.

Chen Xiaohua pointed out that since the beginning of this year, the agricultural departments at all levels have, in accordance with the requirements of the State Council, steadily pushed forward the action of rectifying the quality and safety of agricultural products, and have made positive progress and achievements. After the “3×15” Henan “Clenbuterol” case was exposed, the Ministry of Agriculture took the initiative for the first time to supervise and organize the relevant places to carry out thorough investigations, and quickly deployed the “Clenbuterol” special rectification to effectively protect the quality and safety of livestock products. Maintain the normal production order of animal husbandry. In late April, in order to implement the spirit of the State Council's video-telephone conference and promote crackdowns on the illegal addition and abuse of food additives, 9 departments such as the Ministry of Agriculture launched the joint supervision of special remediation for illegal supplements such as "Clenbuterol." Judging from the situation of supervision, the special rectification of illegal additives such as clenbuterol has been carried out in all areas, but the progress has been unbalanced. Illegal production, sales, and use of prohibited substances have not been banned completely. The quality and safety risks of agricultural products still exist. Agriculture departments at all levels must clearly understand the situation, face up to the problems, quickly unify ideas and actions in the spirit of the State Council's video-telephone conference, earnestly enhance overall awareness, sense of responsibility, and political sensibility, and resolutely win this tough battle with extraordinary measures. The party and the people have given a responsible account.

Chen Xiaohua emphasized that agricultural departments at all levels must carefully formulate specific work plans, refine work tasks, strengthen work measures, and promptly develop Vegetables, livestock products, and raw milk, in accordance with the “Key Issues for Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products in 2011” issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. Six governance actions include veterinary drugs, special rectification of aquatic products, and counterfeiting of agricultural resources. In particular, the special rectification of "lean meat essence" jointly carried out by the 9 departments should be regarded as the most important task. It should be placed in a more prominent position, use heavy code, and make heavy fists to ensure tangible results.

Chen Xiaohua emphasized that to complete the task of special rectification, five measures must be strengthened. One must pay close attention to potential investigations. In close connection with local realities, network-style inspections will be conducted around key products, key units, and key regions, and the management of weak links will be strengthened so that all kinds of risk hidden dangers will be grasped, corrected, and investigated in a timely manner. Second, we must pay close attention to major investigations. Strengthen the enforcement of agricultural product quality and safety, always maintain a high-pressure situation, severely investigate and handle illegal and illicit use of "Clenbuterol", malachite green, melamine and other banned substance cases, severely punish criminals and increase case exposure. Strength. Third, we must pay close attention to the source governance. Focus on controlling the source control of 151 banned substances announced by the Good Food Safety Office and the Ministry of Agriculture, actively cooperate with the upstream functional departments to strengthen supervision, and strictly prohibit the inflow of edible agricultural products. Fourth, we must pay close attention to the implementation of the main responsibility. Supervise agricultural production enterprises and farmers' professional cooperative economic organizations to fulfill their food safety responsibilities according to law, supervise the establishment of a key post responsibility system for quality and safety control of agricultural products, and strictly implement the quality and safety control system. Fifth, we must pay close attention to popular science education. Through various forms of popularization of relevant laws and regulations and policy provisions, to promote the harm of various types of illegal additions and the punishment measures to be taken, relevant announcements are posted, so that household names are well known and should be known. Strict implementation of the "first training, post-up posts" system, strengthen social supervision and information release.

According to Chen Xiaohua, the local agricultural departments must, under the leadership of the local government, strengthen organization and leadership, implement duties and tasks, strengthen conditional guarantees, and improve the institutional mechanisms. They must do their best and go all out to raise the quality and safety of agricultural products to a new level. Level.
