Notice of the Ministry of Agriculture on the supervision of pig slaughter during the Spring Festival on 20 17 New Year's Day;

The first is to further promote the "mine action" of pig slaughtering supervision. All localities should continue to follow the requirements of the implementation plan of "Mine-clearing Action" for pig slaughtering supervision, increase supervision and inspection of key risk areas and supervision objects such as the site selection of small slaughterhouses, comprehensively investigate potential risks, and prevent unqualified meat from entering the market.

Two, to further strengthen the slaughter and quarantine of pigs. Animal husbandry and veterinary departments at all levels should strengthen the supervision and management of meat quality of pig slaughtering enterprises, urge pig slaughtering enterprises to do a good job in pig admission, pre-slaughter inspection and post-slaughter inspection according to the requirements of pig slaughtering product quality inspection specifications, implement the main responsibility of pig slaughtering enterprises for quality and safety, and ensure that the quarantine inspection of pig slaughtering is in place.

Three, focus on strengthening the supervision and testing of "lean meat" in the slaughtering process. All localities should pay close attention to the formulation of the "Clenbuterol" supervision and spot check plan during the holiday season, increase the intensity of supervision and spot check, and focus on sampling the areas with low qualified rate in recent monitoring, the main selling areas of pig products and the slaughter of cattle and sheep. Anyone suspected of committing a crime shall be promptly transferred to the public security organ for investigation and handling.

Fourth, do a good job in emergency handling of quality and safety incidents in slaughter. All localities should increase the prevention and control of quality and safety emergencies in pig slaughtering, further refine and improve emergency plans and emergency mechanisms, and effectively enhance emergency response capabilities. The emergency of pig slaughtering quality and safety should be reported in time and responded quickly.

Five, supervise and guide the pig slaughtering enterprises to strengthen production safety. All localities should firmly establish the concept of safe production in pig slaughtering industry, and supervise and guide pig slaughtering enterprises to implement the main responsibility of safe production in accordance with the principles of "localized management" and "management industry must be safe". When a production safety accident occurs in pig slaughtering, it is necessary to truthfully report the occurrence, emergency treatment and after-treatment of the production safety accident.
