Food safety issues have always troubled people, and news on various food safety issues have been exposed frequently. It is not uncommon to see melamine added to baby milk powder, water injected into beef, and various pesticide residues. Many merchants even use some spoiled things to make up for the price. Not only does it damage people's health, but some preschool children are even affected. After talking about food safety issues for so many years, various things still happen.
1. Lawson’s convenience store sells oden after flushing it on the floor.
Recently, a piece of news has been hotly discussed by netizens. When a customer was buying something at a Lawson convenience store, he saw the clerk picking up the oden that had fallen on the ground, running it under the faucet, and then continuing to cook it in the pot. Lawson convenience store is a big brand in the national chain. If the food safety of such a brand has such a big problem. Wouldn’t the food safety problems in some small stores be even greater?
2. Why is food safety so difficult to guarantee?
I think the most fundamental reason is that the penalties for merchants with food safety problems are not severe enough. When many regulatory authorities enforce the law, if they find food safety problems, they will require rectification. However, some businesses have made rectifications just to cope with inspections. This will lead many businesses to make the sanitary environment in their stores particularly good before inspection. But once the inspection passes, it will be a different story.
3. I think the relevant regulatory authorities should increase supervision. Merchants with food safety problems should be severely punished.
Nowadays, many businesses just rent a very small storefront and mainly focus on takeout. A large part of these businesses use instant food, which is not cooked on site. Just heat it up in the microwave. It is difficult for us to guarantee the food safety of such businesses. This requires relevant regulatory authorities to increase supervision. Once serious food safety problems are discovered, severe penalties will be required.
