htmlIn September, an old man walked into the Jiayuguan Food, Drug and Medical Device Inspection and Testing Center with the purchased "wild Ganoderma", hoping to test the authenticity of this medicinal material for her. Fake and whether it is edible. The staff of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Laboratory carefully checked and identified, consulted relevant information, and explained to the elderly person on the spot that this medicinal material was not the authentic Ganoderma lucidum recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. They solved the doubts in the elderly man's mind and informed him not to continue taking this "Ganoderma lucidum water". To avoid causing harm to the body.Examples of "you send me for inspection" happen every day. The Jiayuguan City Food Rapid Inspection Room is open to the public free of charge on weekdays. For example, people are most concerned about pesticide and veterinary drug residues in fruits, vegetables, aquatic products, livestock and poultry food. After purchasing the food, they send it to the rapid inspection room, where rapid inspections for pesticide residues, clenbuterol and other items are done on site. The quick test for agricultural and veterinary drug residues usually takes 30-40 minutes to produce results, and the test results will be notified on site.
According to reports, Jiayuguan City currently has 14 rapid inspection rooms for edible agricultural products. At the same time, banners are hung at farmers' markets, large supermarkets, and rural markets, and public notice boards for rapid inspection rooms are made to facilitate residents to test at any time, and operators are encouraged to take the initiative to submit food agricultural products sold by operators for inspection every day. At present, the city has carried out 26,629 batches of rapid inspections, reaching 9.4 cases per 1,000 people per year.
Compared with general random inspections and unannounced inspections, Jiayuguan City's "You send me for inspection" and "You click and I inspect" are more proactive in responding to the public's service needs for food testing. Now they have formed a normalized mechanism to provide consumers with answers. Concerns about certain foods also enhance the efficiency of investigating and handling problematic foods.
