"Pending food" needs a long-term mechanism to escort

It has been half a month since the Anti-Food Waste Law was promulgated.
It specifically mentioned that food operators should categorize and manage foods that are approaching the expiration date, and make special labels or centralized display and sale
.

In the past, the handling of impending food was a difficult problem faced by many businesses, but nowadays, these impending foods are not only easy to sell, but are also favored by more and more young people

Literally understood, the so-called impending food is not equivalent to expired food, it refers to the food that is about to reach the food shelf life but is still within the shelf life
.

Due to the remaining date, which can be as short as a few days or as long as several months, it leaves a certain consumption buffer period for consumers.

For merchants, temporary food was originally a serious backlog and difficult to deal with sales problems.
Now, through this new sales model, idle resources are activated, inventory is reduced, and waste can be reduced, allowing businesses to stop losses
.

For consumers, due to the low prices, consumers can also enjoy the consumption experience of "reducing prices without degrading quality"

The essence of the disposal of impending food is through the market’s strong self-regulation ability, using invisible hands, using online e-commerce as the carrier, to open up the two ports of supply and demand, thereby greatly stimulating market vitality.
At present, it has formed more than tens of billions.
The huge market size of yuan
.

The people regard food as the heaven, and food as the first priority
.

For this rapidly developing emerging market, the national level must take precautions, strengthen the control of impending food, build a long-term escort system, and form a three-dimensional and all-round supervision system, so that the public can buy and eat with confidence.

First of all, we must protect consumers' right to know
.

As early as January 27, 2012, relevant departments issued a document clearly requiring that food operators should make eye-catching reminders to consumers about food that is about to expire

Second, there must be national institutional mandatory standards
.

Different time critical standards and deadlines can be divided according to the length of the shelf life of different foods

In addition, it is necessary to regulate the circulation of temporary foods, strictly purchase channels, conceal information on temporary foods from illegal merchants, and refurbish and sell expired foods and other illegal activities.
