Public opinion review
During the period of March 15th, various major media outlets exposed many food safety incidents, among which the issues exposed during the March 15th evening attracted high attention. The "earthen pickled Chinese cabbage" incident fully exposed the problems of the production enterprises involved in raw material procurement, production management and other aspects. At the same time, it also exposed the problems of the brand enterprises involved in supplier management, lax supervision and ineffective performance of the regulatory authorities. In the event of "fake sweet potato vermicelli", although the raw materials used in "cassava vermicelli" are edible, the enterprise passed off tapioca at a low price as sweet potato starch, which deceived consumers and was dishonest.
In addition, the attention to the chaos in the Shuanghui production workshop is also not low. As a well-known domestic brand, it carries more trust from consumers. The occurrence of such problems reflects the weak food safety awareness and chaotic quality internal control management of subsidiary companies, and the insufficient supervision and inspection efforts of Shuanghui on its subsidiaries. Although the survey results have not been released at present, this incident has already had a negative impact on enterprises. How to regain the trust of consumers is a problem that enterprises need to consider.
Finally, as a food enterprise, safety and quality must be given top priority in the development process, and we must always be vigilant about the food safety red line and not exceed it in the slightest. The media exposure was not only limited to the 315 period, but at all times, we are food safety supervisors. Food safety is a shared responsibility of the government, producers, and consumers.
