    Original title: Don't blame the
    foot stinky salt
    " on the salt industry reform
    Recently, a number of provinces and cities across the country, there appeared by Henan Province Pingdingshan Eagle Salt Industry Co., Ltd. production, trademark named "salt man" deep well rock salt (iodization). The salt has an odor that, when heated or hand-thyching, gives off a strong smell of stinking feet. The multi-ed functional department has asked the brand to take off the salt shelf.
    according to the National Standard for Edible Salt, salt is odorless. In recent days, however, there have been disgusting "foot-skunk salts". And not only bad taste, the third-party inspection agency Nanjing salt industry quality supervision and testing station issued an inspection report shows that the batch of salt products sent for inspection (i.e., "foot odor salt") contains toxic, harmful ingredients nitrite.
    three issues worth noting:
    , the above-mentioned production enterprises say that "salt contains butyric acid, good for the human stomach." However, some industry sources pointed out that this is the production process in place caused by the operation. From the inspection report, "foot odor salt" is harmful to human body. It can be seen that the production enterprise not only does not recognize the quality problem, but quibbles and hides.
    , the attitude of some regulators is inexplicable. Henan Pingding Mountain was the first to appear "foot stink salt", the local salt function has no clear attitude. What's more, there are many "foot skunk salts" in many parts of the country, but the relevant national authorities have neither publicly stated nor deployed nationwide investigations. Then the local investigation will be caught in a stand-alone struggle.
    , there is a voice on the Internet that "foot skunk salt" is related to the salt industry reform. That is to say, before the reform, salt prices are cheap, quality assurance, after the implementation of the salt industry reform in January this year - to liberalize the price of all salt products, allowing existing salt fixed-point production enterprises into the field of circulation and sales ... In some places, the price of salt has increased, and the quality of salt has been problems.
    Frankly speaking, after the reform of the salt industry, there have been many new problems, such as local media reports, salt reform policy landed four months, urban salt prices are relatively stable, but urban and rural integration, remote townships, salt prices rose, some up to 66.7%. This problem needs to be paid attention to, don't let the common people eat salt after the salt reform costs increased significantly.
    "foot skunk salt" appeared after the salt reform, but also easy to let some people think that it is caused by salt reform, such as salt reform to liberalize some restrictions, control, some salt production enterprises due to lack of constraints, so the quality of products is not enough attention. That is to say, for this salt reform, one of the common people's concern is the quality of the problem, unfortunately, there is indeed a "foot smell salt."
    in the author's view, can not be blamed on the "foot stink salt" salt industry reform. Although "foot skunk salt" appeared after the salt reform, but can not be counted on the head of the salt reform, because "foot skunk salt" only from two salt enterprises in Henan, did not involve more enterprises, there are no other quality problems. Moreover, the Salt Industry Reform Program also explicitly requires relevant departments to carry out their duties and work closely together to strengthen the supervision of salt safety in accordance with the law.
    , in fact, before this salt reform, the quality of salt problems are quite a lot. For example, there have been many cases of industrial salt counterfeiting of edible salt. Therefore, "foot skunk salt" and salt reform is not directly related, but related enterprises on the quality of salt is not enough attention. Of course, the "foot skunk" incident also reminds us that although salt has insticed the market, but also to be alert to some enterprises in a relaxed market environment of moral and responsibility decline.
    , only some places to check the "foot smell salt", the media remind consumers is far from enough. In view of the "foot skunk salt" appeared in many places, has become a national event, the author believes that the relevant departments of the state should give an authoritative statement, and deploy a nationwide investigation and prosecution operation to completely eliminate the "foot skunk salt", because this salt obviously does not meet national standards. In addition, we should also be alert to the quality of salt problems, price problems after the salt reform does not decline and increase, because it is not in the public interest, probably also contrary to the original intention of salt reform.
    in short, don't let "foot stink salt" stink industry reputation, affect consumer health. (Harvest)
