Food safety is a broad and interlocking concept, not only referring to the quality of the food itself, but all kinds of packaging, containers, tools and other products that are in direct or indirect contact with the food are under its framework. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has organized a nationwide survey of food packaging, containers, tools and other products. After inspection, some problems hidden in the food packaging surfaced.

To this end, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine promulgated the "General Rules for the Production License of Food Packaging, Containers, Tools and Other Products" and the "Detailed Inspection Rules for the Production License of Plastic Packaging, Containers, Tools and Other Products for Food", and formally launched Market access system for other products. This is the first step for China to implement administrative supervision over the production of food-related products. At present, the "QS" access to packaging is being promoted and popularized throughout the country.

The first batch of water test for plastic packaging

The first batch to be included in the "QS" access list is a large number of food plastic packaging, containers, tools and other products, covering drinking water barrels, retail product packaging bags and other daily frequent contact packaging products. The certification of the first batch of production companies is just the beginning of a well-received, and the products of some large-scale packaging companies have successfully completed the transformation. However, the overall increase in the quality threshold of the food packaging industry requires a gradual process. Just like the food "QS" system, it initially experienced a process from strange to familiar.

Industry insiders clearly pointed out that the implementation of the market access system for food plastic packaging, containers, tools and other products is an inevitable choice to effectively strengthen food safety supervision under China's current economic and social development conditions. They are eagerly looking forward to seeing that the "QS" system of food packaging can improve the food safety problem and at the same time promote the healthy and orderly development of the food packaging industry and drive industrial upgrading.

At present, the "QS" access work is being carried out in an orderly and comprehensive manner, and the entire packaging industry has triggered a new round of reshuffling because of the increase in access thresholds. "The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine fully implements the food packaging market access system. It will play an important role in improving the quality and safety threshold of the entire food packaging industry, effectively ensuring that the quality and safety of food meet the prescribed standards, and ensuring that people ’s health will not be violated. Important role. "A person in charge of a large packaging company highly affirmed the timeliness of the" QS "system.

Global attention to packaging quality

Packaging quality has always been a quality hotspot worldwide. At home and abroad, not only have higher and higher requirements for the quality of food itself, but also more and more attention to the safety and quality of food contact materials and products, and also put forward higher requirements. At present, many countries are studying the use of green packaging, using non-toxic and harmless packaging materials. In the international food trade, laws and standards formulated by various countries have played an active role in ensuring consumer health and ensuring food safety. But it is undeniable that certain harsh regulations have a negative impact on market access for products from developing countries and economically underdeveloped regions, especially the corresponding regulations and migration limit standards formulated by some economically developed countries such as Europe and the United States have increased imports. Threshold. This not only affects the import of food contact materials into these countries and regions, but also has a wide impact on the import of related foods due to the problem of food packaging materials.

At present, the market share of food containers, utensils and packaging materials is increasing year by year. However, the level of research on the safety risk of food packaging in China is not high. It is understood that foreign countries have systematically studied the toxic and hazardous substances that may be precipitated from the same food plastic packaging and containers under various conditions, and on this basis, various food plastic packaging, containers, tools and other products The scope of use, environment and other issues have been detailed regulations, but these regulations are still lacking in China.

Industry bottlenecks need to be broken

There are many reasons for the halt of food packaging quality. Experts in the industry have analyzed and pointed out that the domestic packaging industry has encountered three major bottlenecks: blind development, waste caused by oversupply, lack of independent innovation and development stamina, and policies and regulations lagging behind industry development. Among them, the use of recycled materials and fillers to produce counterfeit and shoddy products is widespread in the plastic packaging materials industry. Environmental pollution caused by toxic packaging products and plastic waste, mutual price reduction and vicious competition in the market have occurred, and production development is in a chaotic laissez-faire. China has disrupted the market, harmed the interests of consumers, and caused environmental pollution. These are precisely the problems that the food packaging industry needs to overcome with the help of "QS".

After the market access system for food plastic packaging, containers, tools and other products is implemented, companies can only engage in the production of food-related products after passing the quality assurance capabilities and production conditions review organized by the quality inspection department. At present, all enterprises that can obtain production licenses through strict market access are excellent enterprises with greater influence in the industry.

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has also started the work of unlicensed investigation of packaging “QS” in stages. After entering the phase of unlicensed investigation and handling, enterprises that have been certified can produce normally; enterprises that have submitted an application for review, but are in the process of review, and have not yet obtained a production license, must mark "trial product" on the product and approve the product. Only after passing the inspection to the designated inspection agency, can the products be sold out of the factory; enterprises that have not submitted an application for examination shall not be allowed to produce, and food production enterprises shall not use their products.

Marking regulations will be implemented in September

The product logo is also a detail and hotspot that many consumers and businesses pay attention to. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued the “Regulations on the Administration of Food Labeling” last year, which will be implemented from September 1 this year. "Food label management regulations" is based on the current food labeling regulations and relevant standards, combined with China's actual situation, to reiterate and supplement the food label supervision and management regulations. The regulation mainly regulates the food label from two aspects of label content and label form, and is applicable to foods produced (including subpackaged) and sold in China. At the same time, the regulations also increase the labeling requirements for food origin, packers, warning instructions, minimum sales units, etc., clearly stipulate the prohibited content of food labels and the prohibitive obligations of food production operators, and strengthen the food production operators Responsibility for quality and safety.
