Registration system of milk powder: strict standards and stricter enforcement

It is reported that the newly revised Food Safety Law came into effect on October 1, and the formula of infant milk powder will be changed from record system to registration system. The "measures for the Administration of the Registration of Infant Formula Milk Powder (for trial implementation)" (draft for soliciting opinions) recently solicited opinions and made stricter regulations on infant formula milk powder produced in China. For example, a product formula can only produce one product, each enterprise shall not have more than 5 series of 15 product formulations, goat milk powder should mark the proportion of sheep's milk, and so on.

Many netizens said that the implementation of the formula registration system will help clean up brands with a large number of infant milk powder and curb the bad phenomenon of price increases in the industry using "formula" as a publicity gimmick. A good policy lies in its implementation. We should take the registration system of milk powder as an opportunity, constantly improve dairy standards and strengthen supervision, and dare to adopt a "big stick" policy for problematic dairy enterprises.

Contain the chaos in the industry

The so-called milk powder "formula" refers to all the raw and auxiliary materials used in the production of infant formula and their usage, as well as the content of nutrients in the product. The so-called registration system, that is, to register the formula of milk powder, which means that the management of infant milk powder in our country has risen to the level of drugs.

Netizens "5025075869" said that the implementation of the formula registration system will help clean up a large number of messy brands, lower the industry threshold, encourage enterprises to promote product formula research and development, and provide high-quality products more suitable for Chinese infants and young children. Further standardize the label to avoid exaggerated publicity and mislead consumers, which will help to form a healthy competition pattern.

It is worth noting that at present, the chaos in the domestic infant milk powder market is mainly manifested in that a milk powder enterprise can produce dozens or even nearly 100 series, and some enterprises launch monopoly products in a certain retail store in order to arouse the enthusiasm of retail stores, resulting in complicated products, while in essence, the formula is the same, but the prices are different.

Netizen "Hui Xiaoming" said that the Food Safety Law clearly changed the formula of infant milk powder from the original record system to the registration system, which means that infant milk powder manufacturers should no longer use the "formula" as a publicity and price-raising gimmick.

Netizens "Caitou" said that they hope to introduce more policies to ensure the safety of milk formula, encourage enterprises to find high-quality milk sources, carry out professional formula development, and establish strict quality standards.

"shine the sword" to the problem dairy enterprises

Netizen "far away to fly LYZ" said that with strict laws and regulations, we should resolutely implement them. Netizens "Jiubao love old wine" also believe that no matter how strict the legal provisions are, if the regulatory and law enforcement departments do nothing, it will be empty talk.

Netizen "Hongdou" believes that since the melamine incident, problems have been repeatedly exposed in the domestic dairy industry, and it is not enough to rely on the moral consciousness of enterprises and the self-discipline and introspection of trade associations, and the only way out is to strengthen supervision. The problem of food safety cannot be punished too severely. Dairy enterprises can no longer stop scratching at these problems, but must come up with a "big stick" policy.

Netizen Jingfan Qianjiang said that after so many ups and downs, China's dairy industry should take this as an opportunity to constantly improve dairy standards and completely reverse the negative image of the industry.
