Three major food safety focuses reflect consumption upgrade

From safety to nutrition, the focus of consumer demand is changing

In 2017, China's food supervision has continued to increase

"Whether it is the government's regulatory measures and strength, or the safety measures of food companies, there has been great progress

Chen Junshi analyzed five reasons: consumers demand zero risk for food safety; there are still many counterfeit and shoddy foods; consumers' awareness of rights protection is high; government supervision has been strengthened, and problems that did not appear before now appear; The information held by consumers is seriously asymmetric

Meng Suhe, chairman of the China Society of Food Science and Technology, believes that the public is too worried about food safety, which is related to the upgrade of consumer demand

"In the food safety hotspots in the past two years, the content related to food nutrition and health has gradually increased

In the face of consumption upgrade, the food and agricultural products industry needs to adjust the structure and carry out a healthy transformation

In the era of "Internet +", traditional supervision encounters new issues

In the "Internet +" era, the Internet has profoundly stimulated changes in the public's food consumption needs

According to relevant surveys, as of the third quarter of 2017, the number of users in China's Internet third-party catering takeaway market has reached 275 million, and the transaction scale has exceeded 100 billion yuan

However, these questions are not unsolvable

Compliance adds stigma and needs to be addressed urgently

The pursuit of nutritional health and the aggravation of aging have made health food and various dietary supplements more and more popular

According to Meng Suhe, a legal food claim is to tell consumers "what do I have" within the standard range

"In food advertisements, the propaganda that claims 'no preservatives, no sugar, and no food additives' is used to stigmatize food additives that are used in compliance with regulations

"Through the analysis of the annual food safety hotspots, we can see that the above three focuses not only reflect the growth and upgrading of food consumption in China, but also the focus of a new round of safety issues and contradictions, and also the focus of government work.
