Low threshold for production and sale

Experts said that the current market for counterfeit salt is mainly refined industrial salt, animal husbandry salt, but also for feed additives and printing and dyeing auxiliaries salt. Although industrial salt is managed by salt companies, the purchase channels are open and many chemical trading companies sell it.

Standardize salt production with higher hygiene standards

The Salt Industry Reform Program will be implemented from January 1, 2017, and competition in the salt industry will intensify. Be wary of manufacturers and distributors lowering quality standards in order to enhance price competitiveness. Industry insiders believe that in order to ensure the quality and safety of salt from the source, higher standards and stricter salt production management must be implemented. At present, the standard of salt production is relatively low. In order to meet the requirements of society for hygiene and environmental protection, salt production should be standardized according to the same or even higher hygiene standard as other foods.
