Taiwan's Jiyuan Garden exits: 1200 restaurants respond to traceable ingredients and the safety of nutritious lunches for campus students.

The North District Branch of the Food and Agriculture Department carried out promotion activities at the Farmers Market in Taipei Hope Square on the 15th. The Director of the Food and Agriculture Department, Hu Zhongyi, said that the Production and Marketing Record Mark (TAP) agricultural products are not only safe drugs, but also guarantee the local friendly environment agricultural products. As long as TAP is identified, there is no fear of buying foreign goods. The Food and Agriculture Department has also matched 1200 restaurants as traceable restaurants to allow foreigners to enjoy safe cooking. However, there are still regional differences in the entry of labeled ingredients into the campus, and the industry expects assistance from local governments and regulations. The North District Branch Office has a special area for agricultural products with production and marketing records in Taipei Hope Square on the 15th and 16th. As long as the purchase of products has collected 3 production and marketing records, you can get 1 bottle of resume soy milk until the limited quantity is delivered.

Hu Zhongyi said that the five-ring policy on food safety introduced by the Executive Yuan in 105 includes five aspects: "source control","reconstruction of production management","strengthening inspection","increasing the responsibility of malicious manufacturers" and "supervision of food safety by the whole people". The production and marketing record of Jiyuanpu transformation is an important achievement under this policy. Based on good agricultural practices in Taiwan, and checked by a third-party certification agency, printing quantitative labels, controlling the flow of agricultural products, privately printing or failing to comply with regulations, producers and certification agencies will be punished, which can avoid the problems caused by the lack of control over the number of labels in the past. In addition, consumers can query the serial number on the website platform, scan the two-dimensional bar code to understand the production and marketing process, and achieve the goal of national supervision of food safety.

At present, there are about 17,000 hectares of production and marketing records in China. This year, the Council of Agriculture has offered a number of policy subsidies: a project for the transition period of the resume of farmers with the label of Jiyuan Garden, environmental compensation and verification cost subsidies for those who obtain the label of production and marketing records, etc. It is estimated that 1 billion yuan will be invested to help producers transform. Hu Zhongyi is confident that the area will reach 30,000 hectares by the end of the year and 60,000 hectares in four years. The Agriculture and Food Administration has also matched 110 catering groups and 1200 restaurants to use production and marketing records as traceable restaurants, so that foreign food users can also enjoy safe domestic ingredients.

In 2006, the Council of Agriculture promoted the inclusion of labeled ingredients in school nutrition lunches. After the suspension of the Jiyuanpu label on the 15th, group catering operators can purchase organic agricultural products, CAS Taiwan fine agricultural products, TAP agricultural products and ingredients with Taiwan agricultural production traceability barcodes instead (Chapter 3 Q). Chen Mingxin, chairman of the Taipei City Lunch Box Food Business Association, said that the cost of purchasing standard ingredients for group catering operators will indeed be relatively high, but because there are standard seals, it will also reduce the risk of management."We also don't want vegetables to be fried halfway, but they are found to have pesticide residues." However, local county and city governments attach different importance to nutritious lunches, resulting in different bid opening prices for schools at all levels, which also affects the situation of operators purchasing labeled ingredients."Food safety has a price," Chen Mingxin said. Taking Taipei City as an example, the price of each meal is 55 yuan to 60 yuan, but it may be only 20 or 30 yuan in central and southern China. As far as he knows, the proportion of labeled ingredients used in Taipei nutritious lunches is as high as 60%. Therefore, the regional differences in labeled ingredients entering the campus. It still needs the assistance of county and city governments and relevant laws and regulations.
