When will the 2017 National Food Safety Awareness Week start?

On June 29, 2017, the National Food Safety Publicity Week was officially launched, with the theme of "Being ethical and law-abiding, governing and enjoying food safety".

Ensuring food safety is a people's livelihood project and a public support project, and the party and government have always attached great importance to it. In recent years, relevant departments have done a lot of work and achieved positive results in strengthening the rule of law, implementing regulatory responsibilities, and controlling "table pollution". Especially after the revision and implementation of the Food Safety Law, which is known as the “strictest in history,” the overall food safety situation in our country has improved significantly. A survey shows that in 2016, public opinion hot spots on food safety in my country dropped by nearly 30% compared with the previous year, which reflects the improvement of public satisfaction from one aspect.

Although the situation is stable and improving, maintaining food safety is always on the way. The food safety situation remains complex and severe, and some deep-seated issues have not yet been fundamentally resolved. In the face of the many expectations of the people, we must continue to work hard to make food safety work more detailed and practical to ensure "safety on the tip of the tongue" of the people.

To strengthen food safety, we must continue to be strict. Use the most rigorous standards to provide basic institutional guarantees for food safety, use the most stringent supervision to guard the bottom line of preventing systemic and regional food safety risks, use the most severe penalties to resolutely curb and crack down on illegal and criminal activities, and use the most serious questions to Responsible for promoting all regions and departments to effectively perform their duties in accordance with the law. On the basis of the existing results, we will not slack off and continue to tackle difficulties, strictly control every line of defense from farmland to dining table, have zero tolerance for violations of laws and regulations, act quickly and hit hard, and effectively ensure that the broad masses of the people can eat with confidence and peace of mind. .

To strengthen food safety, we must make good use of the power of innovation. On the one hand, it is necessary to promote the supply-side structural reform of the food industry, rely on innovative technology, promote the comprehensive upgrade of safety assurance capabilities and production and operation management, and meet the structural transformation of the people from quantity needs to safety, quality, and health needs. On the other hand, in the face of new situations and new problems that are constantly emerging in the field of food safety in the Internet environment, it is necessary to innovate food safety supervision methods and build a tight "protective net".
