    Introduction: since 2001, milk industry scandals such as "anti milk" and "reduced milk" have appeared one after another Nestle and Guangming, two famous milk companies, have been exposed recently, causing a crisis of trust in the dairy industry How little is known about the milk industry? The reporter made an investigation and analysis Root cause: raw milk is in short supply and serious pollution of milk source intensifies competition, resulting in quality assurance An insider analyzed that in recent years, China's dairy industry has developed rapidly In the process of purchasing raw materials, some large-scale dairy enterprises mostly use the raw milk of farmers' scattered dairy cows, which is the root cause of the problem of dairy products In the process of raising cows, some farmers will add heavy metal additives to the feed in order to improve the milk production, resulting in excessive potassium, mercury and other heavy metals in the milk source A professional who claims to have worked in the dairy industry for many years recently revealed that before entering the production line, more than 90% of raw milk had been seriously polluted Production: the pursuit of profit ignores the management industry, which points out that it is not a secret in the industry to reprocess and produce the returned milk The recycled products are generally reprocessed into milk drinks, milk steamed bread, ice cream and other products that do not require high freshness of milk source Wang dingmian, director of China Dairy Association, said that at present, the proportion of milk sources in the cost of the whole dairy products is at least 50% If the cost of this raw material can be saved with recycled milk, the enterprise will certainly be happy to do so Detection: it is difficult to ensure that the high cost experts believe that the crux of the Nestle incident lies in knowing that the raw milk may have iodine content fluctuations, but it has not been detected, and the iodine content of the finished product has not been detected before leaving the factory According to the reporter, the content of fat and protein in milk is a necessary index, while the content of iodine is only a random index Wang dingmian said, "the cost of the equipment and drugs needed for the detection of iodine is very high It is very difficult to invest a lot in daily detection." Laws and regulations: the inspection exemption Title becomes the umbrella According to the reporter, since 2002, the milk powder produced by Shuangcheng Nestle Co., Ltd has been listed in the list of inspection exemption products released by AQSIQ, with a validity period of 3 years During this period, Nestle milk powder can be exempted from various forms of quality supervision and inspection in various regions and departments But this time, it is the inspection free products that have problems in the inspection Some commentators believe that the title of exemption from inspection may become an umbrella for enterprises to adulterate and make fake products, damaging the rights and interests of consumers The evaluation system of exempt products should be modified.
