Zero tolerance for the quality of milk powder

A few days ago, two pieces of news about domestic infant formula aroused social concern. First, the State Administration of Food and Drug Administration conducted a special spot check on infant formula milk powder and detected 11 batches of samples that did not meet the national standards and had food safety risks. Second, a domestic infant milk powder brand has passed the A+ top certification of the global food safety standard BRC.

If you look at the two messages together, they can tell you something. Chinese people's confidence in domestic milk powder has not yet been fully restored, as evidenced by the fact that most people choose Haitao foreign brand milk powder. After trust has been knocked down, the road to reconstruction is even more difficult. If domestic milk powder wants to win back the trust of consumers and occupy a place in the international market, the key is that there must be "zero tolerance" for the quality of milk powder.

For enterprises, "zero tolerance" means to grasp the "lifeline" of quality at all times, and cannot be relaxed at all. It has been reported that most of the illegal enterprises checked out this time have the problem of "lack of testing ability". However, this deficiency can not be an excuse to relax the quality control of milk powder; enterprises that can not adapt to the standard should withdraw from the market, which is also the connotation of full competition.

For regulators, "zero tolerance" means stricter regulations and a better system of regulatory penalties. It should be said that in recent years, China's regulatory authorities have increasingly strict supervision of the dairy industry. The newly revised Food Safety Law, which will come into effect on October 1 this year, not only increases the provisions of corresponding legal liability, but also requires that the formula of infant formula milk powder should be registered with the food and drug regulatory department of the State Council. and submit formula research and development reports and other materials that show that the formula is scientific and safe. With strict regulations, next, but also depends on the specific implementation, which directly affects the safety of milk powder, but also tests the executive ability of all parties.

Objectively speaking, the domestic milk powder industry has made efforts to change the mode of production and improve product quality in recent years, and the international top certification of a domestic milk powder brand is the result of the efforts. However, the restoration of confidence is a long and arduous process, and in particular, similar quality problems cannot be allowed to happen again. Only by thoroughly ensuring "zero tolerance" to the quality problems of milk powder in terms of mechanism and persisting in it for a long time, can domestic milk powder have a wider and wider road in the future.
