Generally speaking, food is what people eat and drink every day. Specifically, it refers to all kinds of finished products and raw materials for human consumption or drinking, as well as articles that are traditionally both food and medicine, but do not include articles for therapeutic purposes.
Food safety means that food is non-toxic and harmless, meets nutritional requirements and does not cause any acute, subacute or chronic harm to human health. Unsafe food becomes "problem food".
When it comes to food safety, people are extremely concerned and worried. Because with the continuous progress of economy and society, the development of economic globalization and the diversification of people's food culture, food hygiene and safety has become a hot topic of great concern. "Sudan Red Incident", "Water-injected Meat" and the recent "Sanlu Milk Powder Incident" all affect the hearts of the general public. With the diversified development of food, various additives are constantly being refurbished and emerged, and are constantly added to food. There are additives in the floss and melamine in the milk powder. Although the information about food safety in modern society is asymmetric, it may be the default of consumers. Considering the food we eat every day and the people around us, most people agree with the view that "out of sight is clean". Yes, when you eat food, you don't think about the production process of the food, and you don't really think about whether it has passed the national hygiene inspection. You only consider the taste, but sometimes you eat "problem food". In my opinion, the production of "problem food" by manufacturers not only affects people's life safety, but also seriously threatens the national reputation. This is undoubtedly a shame, a kind of incompetence, and a manifestation of the extinction of human nature.
When food safety problems occur, people will first think of sellers and manufacturers. Yes, the pursuit of interests is the bounden responsibility of enterprises, but we can't lose humanity; Yes, the competition between enterprises is mainly price, but it is impossible to inject water into pork; Yes, the distribution of interests among enterprises, within enterprises and between enterprises and people is sometimes distorted, but they cannot bear the health of consumers.
Of course, enterprises have their responsibilities, but officials of relevant state departments can't stand idly by. It is their responsibility to put people's interests first and rely on national laws and regulations to protect people's health. There is a saying that "it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes than to be an official." At present, it is urgent to establish a food safety system. Now, the Food Safety Law has given some people a "reassurance". There are standards for food safety, but every enterprise has its own "standards", and sometimes the standards cannot be implemented, because some local officials, leaders and manufacturers "collude" and have so-called inspection-free products, which are sold directly without inspection. This can be said to be irresponsible to the party and the people.
Consumers' own awareness of prevention and self-safety and health protection are also indispensable. Of course, when buying food, you can't simply believe the boasted advertisements: quality first, and so on. From the understanding of some consumers, they all rely on advertisements, frankly: who will buy food with the second quality if there is quality first? On the other hand, if you are not responsible for your health, who will care about you?
When food safety problems occur, people's health will be threatened. Faced with such a serious problem, why is there "problem food"? Where is the so-called humanity? As the top of the natural biological chain, aren't we reaping the consequences?
