In response to the health and welfare agency’s announcement today of residue standards for U.S. pigs containing ractopamine, Shili’s “legislators” Chen Jiaohua and Wang Wanyu held a press conference at noon to raise questions. The current public health risk report proposed by the administrative agency is incomplete, and for serious diseases There was no assessment of patients with chronic diseases, and the report did not mention the risk of cancer. Chen Shizhong’s so-called scientific evidence is obviously a slap in the face, and there are very big flaws.
Chen Jiaohua said that the labeling of the source of meat is also one of the problems. The current meat products are not mandatory to indicate whether they are self-produced and imported from the United States. The relevant regulations have not been formulated. If the supporting facilities are insufficient, the import will be announced hastily. In the future, the import of American pigs will be open. Later, for example, how should vendors of meat and offal in traditional markets label their products to facilitate consumers to identify the difference? They requested that the announcement period be extended to 60 days, and hoped that the legislative body would reach a consensus on the announcement of relevant laws and regulations by health and welfare agencies and the "Council of Agriculture" , jointly advocated that the announcement can only be made after the public hearing and general inquiry.
Wang Wanyu questioned that the health and welfare agency said that the standards for the content of lavender are based on the premise of public health. If there are no food safety concerns about American pigs containing lavender, why do educational institutions and defense agencies promise that American pig food will not enter campuses or the military? .
In addition, Wang Wanyu believes that the current assessment mechanism does not include people’s dietary habits in risk assessment. People like to eat offal, and raisins have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. However, no risk assessment has been seen so far, and the relevant assessment reports are not rigorous and are not accurate. The relevant regulations should be passed easily.
