On July 3, in the large supermarket of Ginza Beiyuan Store in Jinan City, Shandong Province, a consumer bought a piece of white pork, and then gently scanned the safety traceability barcode on the pork packaging on the terminal set in the supermarket. , All links from pig breeding to processing, packaging and transportation, supervision and inspection are clear at a glance. This is a microcosm of the Shandong Provincial Quality Supervision System’s strengthening of quality supervision and ensuring food safety during the Olympic Games.
According to the person in charge of the Shandong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, in the future, consumers in Shandong Province will buy vegetables, poultry, pork, aquatic products and other foods from supermarkets, and they will have such a food safety protection tool — food quality safety traceability system. Once a problem occurs, the system can be used to quickly trace the source. At present, this technology has been successfully developed by the Shandong Institute of Standardization and is being piloted in some cities such as Jinan, Qingdao, Zibo, and Dongying.
Since 2004, Shandong Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision and Shandong Provincial Institute of Standardization have taken the lead in independently researching and developing food safety traceability systems nationwide with their abundant human resources and advanced technological advantages. The system closely links production, inspection, supervision, and consumption, and is widely used in food industries such as fruits and vegetables, poultry, aquatic products, and large supermarkets.
The food safety traceability system is the use of information technology to explore the supervision of the entire process of food production, focus on food quality and safety from the source, implement the first responsibility for quality and safety of food producers, and establish and improve a food recall system. Cong Daming, director of Shandong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau, said that the biggest advantage of this system is that it covers the key quality data of the entire food production process. Through the establishment of a food safety information database, it can effectively help government regulatory agencies to supervise food production, processing, circulation, and consumption. Once a problem is discovered, it can be controlled and recalled in time based on the traceability information to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. At the same time, consumers can clearly understand whether the food production and circulation process meets the requirements of hygiene and safety, and they can eat more assuredly.
With the approach of the Olympic Games, food safety issues have attracted more and more attention. Due to the large amount of food consumption, variety and high standards during the Olympics, and the summer during the Olympics, it is the period of high incidence of foodborne diseases. Food safety has become the key to the success or failure of the Olympics.
As one of the major food producing provinces in my country, Shandong’s food industry sales revenue ranks first in the country. As a co-host city of the Beijing Olympic Games, Qingdao has undertaken the two tasks of the Olympic Sailing Race and the Paralympic Sailing Race. How to ensure that food safety work during the Olympic Games is foolproof? Shandong Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau takes the two-pronged approach, insists on focusing on “key food production enterprises” and “all food production enterprises in the province”, combining point and surface, strengthening supervision in an all-round way, and building a “protective wall” for food safety. The food quality and safety traceability system has made a huge contribution to the comprehensive supervision of the bureau.
In the past two years, the market application of food safety traceability system has achieved good results. In Jinan, Weifang, Dongying, Qingdao and other large supermarkets such as Ginza, Carrefour and Jialejia, as well as supermarkets in Xinjiang and other places, the system has been successfully applied. Especially in 2007, the Shandong Provincial Institute of Standardization independently undertook the National 863 Project “R&D and Demonstration of Food Safety Traceability System Based on RFID Technology” to give full play to the key role of RFID technology in food safety quality control, food safety traceability and food recall . As a result, more food companies in Shandong and even the whole country are concerned about production quality and food traceability, which further promotes the popularization and application of food safety traceability systems throughout the province and the whole country, and promotes the smooth development of food safety work.
