@锐看 Taiwan report In response to the announcement by the Tsai Ing-wen authorities that the import of fine pigs containing lean meat will be opened in January next year, the Chinese KMT 2 held a press conference again to criticize that the future method of marking the origin of pork is not a panacea. There are many types and sales channels, and management is difficult. If the Cai authorities really want to go on stubbornly, in the future, they will ask officials of the Cai authorities and the green people who currently support lean pigs to order lean pigs from the United States and send them directly to those who support them, so that these meats containing lean meat will not It may be a solution to let them eat first when it reaches the market.
The KMT held a press conference today on "Pork origin marking is not a panacea, and counterfeit products cannot be prevented". It was hosted by the chairperson of the Cultural Heritage Committee Wang Yumin, and deputy chairmen Wang Hongwei, Zhong Peijun, Zheng Zhaoxin and former "legislator" Chen Yimin attended the press conference. . The press conference displayed the pork floss, pork jerky , pork dumplings, sausages, hot dogs, bacon, ham, tribute balls and other pork snacks that people eat daily, showing that the proportion of people eating pork in daily life is very high.
Wang Yumin raised questions at the meeting. 1. How should the origin of clenbuterol pork products be declared? How should the ratio be presented? Food safety storms in the past were due to low price and low cost, and the taste was not good after being mixed. If someone deliberately mixes Taiwanese pork with imported pork containing ractopamine to make processed products, such as dumplings with one-fifth or one-fifth of imported pork One-third, how to mark on the product label?
2. Only the place of origin is indicated, it is difficult for the public to distinguish whether it contains ractopamine or not? Wang Yumin said that Taiwan has already opened the import of meat products that do not contain clenbuterol from the United States. Even if the country of origin is clearly marked, consumers cannot judge whether the meat contains clenbuterol, and will judge whether it contains clenbuterol. It is passed on to consumers, and Taiwan authorities should shoulder the gatekeeping responsibilities.
3. Can the inspection technology really distinguish the origin and adulteration ratio of fake pork products? Wang Yumin said that if the manufacturer or store indicates the origin of the meat product is false, can the Taiwan authorities' inspection technology check the exact origin of the meat product or the proportion of adulteration? If this is not possible, how to prevent manufacturers or stores from falsely indicating the origin?
4. Is the manpower for inspection sufficient? There are many types of processed pork products in Taiwan, and there are also many channels for selling pork products, including night markets, traditional markets, and street vendors. Does the Taiwan authorities have sufficient inspectors? If not, how can we ensure the correctness of the label of origin?
