First of all, we must master the basic knowledge of food safety.
Mastering the basic knowledge of food safety is helpful for college students to better prevent food safety problems. Generally speaking, college students should master the following food safety knowledge:
(1) Food types.
It is necessary to clarify the types of food, so as to know more specifically the situation that this kind of food is prone to food safety problems.
(2) Specific identification of food safety.
College students should recognize the signs of quality and safety, green food and health food.
(3) Relevant measures to prevent food safety problems.
College students should know the measures to prevent food safety in order to practice it in daily life.
(4) Knowledge of rights protection after food safety problems occur.
(5) When eating out, you should choose a restaurant with a food hygiene license and a work permit.
(6) When eating out, be sure to check whether this restaurant has a food hygiene license and a work permit. If not, go to another restaurant for dinner. If you are not at ease, you can also ask the restaurant owner to issue an invoice to prove that you have eaten in this restaurant. In the event of a dispute, it will be used as a basis for safeguarding rights.
(7) When buying food in retail stores and supermarkets, you must pay attention to the relevant information of this kind of food.
(8) Even if you buy food in retail stores and supermarkets, there may be food safety problems.
Choose and buy packaged food carefully, and carefully check the packaging label and market access mark (QS).
Check whether the basic logo, address, telephone number, production date and shelf life are clearly marked and whether the products are qualified.
Brief introduction of market access marks QS: In order to ensure people's food hygiene and safety, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has implemented the food safety market access system nationwide since 2002. After the compulsory inspection is qualified, the factory food is labeled with market access signs, which is convenient for purchase.
The first batch of food that must be marked with QS includes five categories, namely wheat flour, rice, edible vegetable oil, soy sauce and vinegar.
The second batch of food that must be marked with QS is divided into 10 categories, mainly including meat products, dairy products, beverages, condiments (sugar and monosodium glutamate), instant noodles, biscuits, canned food, frozen drinks, puffed food and quick-frozen rice and flour products.
The third batch of food that must be marked with QS is classified as 13, mainly including candy products, tea, wine and fruit wine, beer, rice wine, pickles, candied fruit, roasted seeds and nuts, egg products, cocoa products, coffee, processed aquatic products, starch and starch products.
