Shaping high-quality food industry with standardization strategy

A few days ago, at the 2021 International Food Safety and Health Conference "Food Industry Development and Standardization" thematic forum hosted by the China Society for Food Science and Technology and organized by the Food Safety and Standard Technology Branch of the China Society for Food Science and Technology, authoritative experts at home and abroad learned from international food safety hotspots.

New models and new raw materials emerge, food safety supervision faces challenges

In the face of new consumption patterns, new resources, and new international trade situations brought about by potential risks such as climate change, food security, antibiotic resistance, and epidemics, the food industry is also facing the pressure of innovation brought about by new processes and new formats

According to data released by the National Health Commission in September, China has formulated and published a total of 1,383 food safety standards, involving more than 20,000 indicators, including general standards, product standards, production standards and inspection method standards

Wang Zhutian, chairman of the Food Safety and Standard Technology Branch of the China Society for Food Science and Technology, said, "With the development of science and technology, processing technology and testing technology are constantly changing, but the inspection methods in food safety standards are mandatory.

Tom Heilandt, Secretary General of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, and Erin Crowley, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AOAC INTERNATIONAL, respectively introduced the Codex standard and the formulation of the AOAC INTERNATIONAL standard, and analyzed how to promote the development of the global food industry and reduce the impact of trade barriers

Safety Standard Guarantee Bottom Line Quality Standard Pull High Line

Regarding food safety management, the "four strictest" requirements can be said to be familiar to people in the industry - to ensure food safety with the most rigorous standards, strictest supervision, strictest penalties, and most serious accountability

Through several years of practice, all parties generally believe that the most stringent standards include not only food safety standards, but also food quality standards

"Comprehensive construction of a food standard system is an inevitable choice in the new era

Jiao Yang, Director of the TBT Research Department of the International Inspection and Quarantine Standards and Technical Regulations Research Center of the General Administration of Customs, analyzed the role of national food safety standards in import and export food trade from the perspective of import and export trade

The advancement of standards and regulations not only ensures the safety of food, but also brings a better consumer experience to consumers

Develop rapid detection technology to ensure consumer health

The outbreak of the epidemic has given birth to the development of rapid detection technology in China.

"There is a demand for rapid testing in the entire food industry, and now companies will pay attention to environmental microorganisms when doing daily monitoring

"In terms of rapid detection technology, it currently includes biological analysis technology and chemical analysis technology
