Defend "the safety at the tip of the tongue" with sound laws

Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council presided over the executive meeting of the State Council on May 14 and passed the "People's Republic of China Food Safety Law (Revised Draft)" in principle. The meeting pointed out that safeguarding food safety concerns the vital interests of each consumer, and the revision of the Food Safety Law reflects the Party and the government’s great attention to the health and safety of the people.

“People use food as their food and food as safety as their first priority.” Food safety is directly related to people's quality of life and physical health. It is a matter of great importance. When people are worried about whether they want to eat pork and drink branded milk powder for the “China on the tip of the tongue” and “spirits and tears fly together”, the trust in food safety has “been broken down”. The “security at the tip of the tongue” has repeatedly fallen. It is not only the health and life safety of the people but also the credibility of the government. It is a major test of the ability to govern.

Food safety is "produced" and is "out of control". Any omissions in the “production” “management” field may pose a fatal threat to people’s “tips”. From the various types of food safety cases that have been exposed, it can be seen that the main factors that threaten food safety include the production of unscrupulous companies, the sales of unscrupulous merchants, the ineffectiveness of supervision, the levitation of punishment, and so on. The rectification of food safety issues is also mostly " "Fire-fighting-style", where there is a problem, it is rectified, and it has not been institutionalized or legalized. As a result, the system of making and selling fake goods has been banned and intensified. In order to realize the "production" and "management" simultaneously, a complete food safety law is an indispensable tool.

Compared with the amendments before, the amendment draft adopted this time focuses on four aspects: First, implement the most rigorous whole-process management on production, sales, catering services, etc., strengthen the main responsibility of production and business operators, and improve the traceability system. The second is to establish the most strict supervision and punishment system. If penalties are increased for illegal activities and constitute a crime, criminal responsibility shall be strictly investigated in accordance with the law. Increase accountability to local government officials and supervisors; third, improve systems for risk monitoring, assessment, and food safety standards; add requirements for liability interviews, risk-based management, etc.; and fourth, establish reward reporting and liability insurance systems. Consumers, industry associations, media, etc., supervise the role and form a pattern of social co-governance.

These four aspects cover all aspects of food safety, especially perfecting the traceability system, establishing the most rigorous penalties, and accentuating the accountability of local government officials and supervisors. This is a very specific approach to past law enforcement weakness. "Great medicine." Food safety has many links, no matter whether it is producers, sellers or regulators, it lacks terminal consciousness. If problems arise, “kick the ball”, more than a dozen departments cannot control a pig, a cup of milk and a bean sprout. It's no surprise. The revised draft aims to increase the penalties imposed on all responsible parties and urge them to perform their duties and do their part in their duties, and truly become convoys of food safety rather than scarecrows. Through the establishment of award-winning reports and liability insurance systems and the formation of a socially co-ordinated pattern of thinking, more paths are provided for the construction of a food safety wall. To protect people's “points of safety” in all aspects, it is necessary to extend the regulatory reach to every food production field. It is unrealistic to rely solely on the power of the regulatory authorities. All social forces must be fully mobilized to form a supervision over food safety. Restored Skynet.

Mencius said: "If you are not good enough, you can't do it yourself." The revision of the Food Safety Law reflects the party's and the government's confidence and determination in defending people's "safety on the tip of the tongue." The revised food safety law will be resolved more effectively. There are many problems in the field of food safety. We look forward to the organic integration of good governance and laws and regulations, so that a more complete food safety law can become the terminator of food safety issues.
