Chinese meat export companies should strictly control sanitary feeding

Introduction: in the summer and autumn of 2001, Switzerland found that the sanitary equipment and feeding methods of two chicken farms in mainland China did not meet the conditions and specifications of Switzerland In November of that year, Switzerland decided to ban the chicken from these two suppliers from exporting to Switzerland At the end of January 2002, in view of the discovery that the content of residual antibiotics such as poultry, fish, shrimp, crab and rabbit meat in mainland China was too high, the European Union announced that it would gradually ban its export to the European Union, while the Swiss government only took mild measures to strengthen the inspection In late February 2002, 50 imported chicken from mainland China were randomly inspected by state inspection agencies in roganbang, Switzerland It was found that the content of chloramphenicol antibiotics in six meat residues was too high, which had obviously violated the relevant provisions of the Swiss Federal Food Management Law The Veterinary Bureau of the Federal Ministry of economy and the Department of health of the Federal Ministry of interior jointly announced that the import of chicken from mainland China was strictly prohibited from February 27 One week before the announcement of the ban, Migros and coop group, two national chain supermarkets of fresh food in Switzerland, have taken the initiative to take the frozen chicken imported from mainland China off the shelves to reassure consumers; after the announcement of the ban, other chain supermarkets, such as prodega, Denner and jumbo, have also taken the frozen chicken from mainland China Due to the low price of chicken in mainland China, which is only one third of the European producers, it is very popular with Swiss food companies Within the existing quota range, it is introduced in large quantities, accounting for about 30% - 40% of the whole chicken consumption market in Switzerland; other important suppliers are Thailand, Brazil and France After banning the import of chicken from mainland China, Swiss importers have no choice but to purchase chicken from other regions or even from Switzerland The price is bound to rise sharply In the future, the Swiss government will continue to strengthen the inspection of chicken from mainland China, and require China to establish a complete inspection system Before lifting the ban, all chicken exported to Switzerland must obtain an official inspection certificate from China before entering Switzerland Even so, the Swiss customs will conduct a detailed sampling inspection of the imported goods at the customs.
