The whole chain ensures food quality and safety

As a major grain producer and consumer, China's grain output has been stable at more than 1.
3 trillion jin for many years in a row, and it is expected to reap another bumper harvest
this year.
How to make the people well-fed, eat better and eat with confidence? How to ensure the quality and safety of the whole chain from the field to the table, so as to protect the "safety on the tip of the tongue"?

Standard system for precise navigation

In autumn and October, the rice is fragrant
.
More than 1,200 mu of rice from the Shuguang Agricultural Production Professional Cooperative in Xitaiping Village, Shuguang Town, Meihekou City, Jilin Province, has been harvested and is being dried into storage
.
Chairman Jiang Lianwu told reporters that all the high-quality rice grown by their cooperative implements standardized production, and after passing the inspection of qualified professional institutions, the purchase price of rice per kilogram reaches 2.
3 yuan, which is much higher than the market price, and the price per kilogram of rice reaches 10 yuan to 50 yuan
.

The advanced standard system is the first "firewall"
to ensure food quality and safety.
There are many links from the field to the table, and food is facing many risk factors such as natural disasters, pests and diseases, and environmental pollution, and the pressure to ensure quality and safety is greater
.
It should also be noted that in international trade, standard quality has become an important non-tariff measure, which plays an irreplaceable role
in enhancing the competitiveness of the grain and oil industry, promoting the import of high-quality grain and oil products, and winning the trade initiative.
Strengthening the construction of the food standard system can not only protect the "safety on the tip of the tongue", but also help enhance the competitiveness
of the grain and oil industry.

Food standardization is the basic work
to ensure national food security.
In recent years, China has strengthened the work of grain quality standards, improved the level of grain quality and safety, and achieved remarkable results
.
For example, the organization has revised mandatory national standards such as "wheat", "corn" and "soybeans"; Promote the issuance of key national standards involving the vital interests of the people, such as "rice", "wheat flour" and "rapeseed oil"; Strengthen the source control, and initially establish an industry standard system
for grain and oil quality and safety rapid inspection methods.
At present, there are 662 grain standards managed by the State Administration of Food and Material Reserves, and the standard system of the entire grain industry chain has been basically established
.
"China's grain and oil product quality and safety inspection methods and standards are basically consistent with international standards, providing important technical support
for ensuring national grain quality and safety.
" The head of the Standard Quality Center of the State Administration of Food and Material Reserves said
.

Ensuring food quality and safety is an inherent part of ensuring national food security, and it must not be relaxed
.
The person in charge of the Standard Quality Center of the State Administration of Food and Material Reserves said that it is necessary to adhere to the goal orientation and improve the food standard system
.
Focusing on meeting the needs of the people, improve the green-oriented standard project establishment mechanism, improve the safety bottom line standards, quality standards and management standards, increase the research and formulation of key standards and traditional characteristic grain and oil product standards, and continue to improve the standard supply level
.
Focusing on food conservation actions, formulate and revise grain and edible oil processing standards, reasonably determine processing accuracy and other indicators, actively guide the development of moderate grain and oil processing, change the tendency of excessive pursuit of "refined rice and white noodles" as soon as possible, improve the yield rate, processing conversion rate and by-product utilization rate of grain and oil products, and reduce processing loss and nutrient loss
.
Focusing on international exchanges and cooperation on grain, we will actively participate in the formulation of international rules, increase the adoption of international standards, actively transform advanced and applicable international standards, and promote the integrated development of
international and domestic grain and oil standardization.

The whole process of inspection and monitoring is checked

With a light scan of the QR code, you can know the "past and present life" of the bag of rice in front of you; Looking for the label on the bag, you can judge whether the flour inside is more suitable for steamed and chewy steamed buns or baked fluffy bread, behind these common operations in daily life, reflecting the country's strong results
in promoting grain and oil quality and safety inspection and monitoring in recent years.

Bringing high-quality grain from farmland to table involves production, acquisition, storage, processing, sales and other links, any link may have hidden quality and safety hazards, such as mycotoxin pollution, pesticide pollution, illegal use of additives by unscrupulous enterprises, adulteration of sales links, shoddy charging, and so on
.
Therefore, it is necessary to strictly prevent, strictly manage and strictly control food quality and safety risks, adhere to strict prevention at the source, strict management of the process and strict control of risks, and firmly hold the bottom line
of no regional and systemic food quality and safety risks.

Improving the level of food quality inspection and monitoring is crucial
to ensuring food quality and safety.
At present, China has initially established a four-level linkage grain quality and safety inspection and monitoring system at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels, built and renovated more than 1,500 grain quality and safety inspection and monitoring institutions and grain enterprise inspection and laboratory laboratories, and performed quality inspection and guarantee functions
in optimizing the planting structure, safeguarding the interests of farmers, serving grain purchase, and strengthening inventory supervision.

In order to ensure the quality and safety of national grain, promote the high-quality development of the grain industry, and meet the people's growing needs for a better life, during the summer grain purchase period this year, the State Administration of Grain and Material Reserves organized the grain and reserve departments of the main wheat and rapeseed producing provinces to carry out the quality and safety monitoring of summer grain and oil such as newly harvested wheat and rapeseed in 2022, grasp the quality and safety of newly produced wheat and rapeseed at the first time, analyze the supply and demand situation of the grain market, and rationally formulate grain macro-control policies.
Protecting the interests of grain farmers provides important technical support
.

Strict grain quality inspection and monitoring is an important guarantee for
maintaining grain quality and safety.
The person in charge of the Standard Quality Center of the State Administration of Food and Material Reserves said that it is necessary to strengthen the construction of the grain quality and safety inspection and monitoring system, improve the inspection and monitoring capacity, strengthen the monitoring of food quality and safety risks, and effectively play a basic role
in strengthening source management, doing a good job in grain procurement, and carrying out emergency handling 。 Further change the concept and method of grain quality management, establish a sense of active supervision, establish a coordinated mechanism for routine supervision, special inspection, and case investigation, promote the normalization of "four not two straights", "unannounced inspections", and cross-inspections, ensure the good quality and food safety of stored grain, and strictly prevent grain that does not meet food safety standards from flowing into grain markets and food production enterprises
.

Give play to the role of guaranteeing the rule of law

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has insisted on attaching equal importance to grain quantity and quality, and the situation of grain quality and safety is generally good, but there are still some shortcomings and weaknesses
.
"It is necessary to govern according to law and tighten the 'cage'
of the grain quality and safety system.
" The head of the Standard Quality Center of the State Administration of Food and Material Reserves said
.

It is necessary to strengthen legislation, use the rule of law to guide food quality and safety, and realize that there are laws to follow
.
In recent years, China has promulgated a series of laws and regulations such as the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products, the Regulations on the Administration of Central Grain Reserves, and the Regulations on the Administration of Grain Circulation, which have played an important role
in ensuring food quality and safety.
On this basis, it is also necessary to speed up the promulgation of the Food Security Law, revise the "Measures for the Supervision of Food Quality and Safety" and other regulations, and form a complete system of
food quality and safety laws and regulations.
It is necessary to consolidate the main responsibility of collecting and storing enterprises and the supervision responsibility of grain administrative departments at all levels, and effectively transform institutional advantages into quality and safety governance efficiency
.

It is necessary to accurately popularize the law, enhance the awareness of food quality and safety in the whole society, and make safeguarding the national food quality and safety become the consensus of
the whole people.
In the popularization of food quality and safety, leading cadres at all levels shoulder important responsibilities in ensuring food security, and it is particularly important to enhance the awareness of food security among leading cadres at all levels, constantly enhance their mission responsibility, and resolutely shoulder the political responsibility for food security; Continue to enhance the awareness of food quality and safety of the general public, and root the awareness of food quality and safety in the hearts of the people; Continue to enhance the food quality and safety awareness of employees in the whole food chain, improve their food safety awareness, firmly shoulder production and business responsibilities, strictly implement the food safety management system in the process of production and operation, carry out production and inspection in accordance with food safety standards, and continuously improve food quality to adapt to the upgrading consumption structure and better meet the growing needs
of the people for a better life.

It is necessary to make good use of existing laws and regulations, intensify the crackdown on violations of laws and regulations, and safeguard the quality and safety
of grain.
For example, the newly revised Food Safety Law has increased the penalties for food quality and safety issues, greatly increased the amount of fines, and added a "punishment to the person" system
.
This helps to force the producers and operators of relevant enterprises to take the first responsibility, operate in good faith and abide by the law, and better ensure food safety
.

In addition to strengthening standard guidance, improving quality and safety inspection and monitoring capabilities, and strengthening legal guarantees, we should also pay attention to strengthening scientific research and innovation, promote the integration of production, education, research and application in the grain industry, and increase the research and development and application of
technologies such as food quality and safety, nutrition and health, grain and oil processing, and grain machinery and equipment.
Further promote the high-quality grain project, promote variety improvement, quality improvement, brand building and standardized production
.
Vigorously implement green storage and improvement actions, promote the construction of high-standard grain silos, improve the level of grain quality and freshness storage, and strive to increase the supply of
green and high-quality grain and oil products.
