Recently, the reporter randomly visited several food stores and discovered that many imported foods have problems with incomplete marks, and several imported foods. All foreign bodies on the outer packaging are written in foreign languages ​​and there is no Chinese character in the slightest.
Imported food, three chaos 1 is a foreign language let you guess Yesterday, the reporter came to a small food supermarket in the People's Road. Many imported foods are placed on the shelves. When you look closely, you can find that there are many problems with imported food packaging.
On a shelf inside the store, the reporter discovered a peanut imported from Thailand that costs 10 yuan/can. In addition to the densely packed Thai language and English, the canned peanuts have almost no Chinese characters. From the Chinese label on the outer packaging, in addition to knowing that the full name of the peanut is called “big brother rice and peanuts,†ingredient ingredients, production date, and shelf life, other information such as manufacturers, domestic distributors, and agents There is no way to know, and the densely packed Thai language makes one wonder: "Wouldn't it be enough for you to guess?"
In the same store, the reporter randomly selected a box of durian cakes imported from Vietnam. In addition to Vietnamese, the outer packaging is marked with Chinese information in a prominent place: Vietnamese manufacturers' basic information, product ingredients, shelf life, usage methods, and preservation methods are all available. At first glance, it was very formal, but after careful observation, the reporter found that there was no domestic dealer's address and contact phone number in the Chinese logo. If something goes wrong, consumers will face difficulties in their rights protection.
3 Domestically transformed foreign bloodlines In a large supermarket near the Sports Center of Tianhe District, the reporter found that imported tea bags with “Chuanning†brand lemon green tea on the shelves were originated in China on the Chinese label. However, the corresponding commodity information tab on the supermarket shelves indicates that it is imported from Poland. The reporter inquired why the supermarket shopping guides were inconsistent with the labels of the shelves and the labels of the goods. In response, the supermarket staff responded that they were not clear.
With questions, the reporter asked the domestic distributor of the product customer service. Customer service staff said: The reason why the origin of writing in China is because the lemon green tea is packaged in China. At the same time, the customer service emphasized that although it is packaged in China, its tea raw materials come from all over the world.
How should consumers identify the authenticity of imported food? The common practice of “looking at the first three digits of barcodes†is not very reliable. It is crucial to look for Chinese labels, “hygiene certificates†and goods in compliance.
Laws and regulations: Imported foods must be affixed with a full Chinese logo. The reporter found that the relevant laws and regulations found that Article 66 of the “Food Safety Law†in China clearly stipulates: “The imported prepackaged foods should have Chinese labels and Chinese manuals. Prepackaged foods No Chinese labels, Chinese instructions or labels, or instructions that do not comply with this article may not be imported."
The label shall indicate the following nine aspects: (1) name, specification, net content, production date; (2) ingredient or ingredient list; (3) name, address and contact information of the producer; (4) shelf life; (5) Product Standard Code; (VI) Storage Conditions; (7) Common Names of Food Additives Used in National Standards; (8) Production License Numbers; (9) Other Matters Matter to Be Specified in Laws, Regulations, or Food Safety Standards .
Which of the three types of imported goods is true?
"Imported foods" are broadly classified into three categories: The first category is originating in foreign countries, where Chinese dealers paste Chinese symbols and sell them domestically. There is no domestic sanitation license number for outer packagings; the second category is that raw materials are produced by foreign manufacturers. Domestic manufacturers carry out packaging and distribution. The packaging has more detailed descriptions of the ingredients and ingredients of the products. There is a domestic hygiene license number; the third type is the packaging, which is mainly based on foreign language, and is packaged by domestic manufacturers. Domestic health permit number.
Experts from China Association of Consumers believe that only the first category is imported foods in the true sense, the second category is domestically produced foods, and the third category is uncertain. It may be imported foods or counterfeit goods.
Number said: In the first three quarters, 1659 batches of imported food failed. At the end of November, AQSIQ held a press conference to inform the quality of the first three quarters of the year. In the import and export of food, in the first three quarters, a total of 1659 batches of imported foods that were unqualified for quality and safety projects were detected across the country. Entry-exit inspection and quarantine agencies at ports had taken measures such as return shipment or destruction, and did not enter the domestic market.
Is the imported food on the shelves full of "original origins overseas?" Is the identity of imported foods in line with national regulations? In the past few days, the reporter visited major supermarkets and snack shops in Guangzhou and found that some imported foods were unclear in identification and lacked domestic agents, distributors, and other information. There are also several imported foods. All foreign bodies on the outer packaging are written in foreign languages. There is no Chinese-language style. The "Food Safety Law" clearly stipulates that imported prepackaged foods should have complete Chinese labels and Chinese instructions.
