steamed sea bass, sweet and sour carp, West Lake vinegar fish... Fresh and plump fish products have always been the "darling" on the dining table, but in recent years, due to the "harassment" of banned ingredients such as malachite green , people have also put a question mark on the safety of fish dishes. In Beijing, the capital that is not close to the sea, the supply of aquatic products mainly depends on foreign land or imported supply, and the market demand and consumption are huge. So can fish entering the Beijing market be safe to eat? Our reporter recently visited the largest aquatic products wholesale market in North China - Shimen Agricultural Products Wholesale Market in Shunyi District. It was found that all fish trucks must be inspected when entering the market, and each type of fish must be inspected. After entering the retail market, it must be inspected at any time. After entering the retail market, a fish must go through at least 3 "security checks" from entering Beijing to the dining table.
First Before entering the market: One car, one inspection. Quick test banned
"No. 29 and 30 pass the inspection and you can enter the market." With the sound of the broadcast speakers at the entrance of the market, the pole was raised, and two large trucks loaded with aquatic products drove into the aquatic product business area of Shimen Wholesale Market in turn. Two or three o'clock every afternoon is the most active time for freshwater fish trading in the market. In the market entrance area, seven or eight trucks with license plates with foreign license plates are waiting for inspection in sequence.
car one inspection, car must be inspected, only after passing the qualification can it enter the market. From April 30 this year, this has become the "fixed landscape" of the aquatic area of Shimen Market. A young man who pulled a truck of silver carp from Wuqing, Tianjin told reporters that it took 40 or 50 minutes to wait for the test. "I go out every day earlier than before." "No, no," a master named Liu said with a smile: "Testing is a good thing. Everyone should be relieved to save trouble in the future. When we come here, we also want to do business in a down-to-earth manner."
Freshwater Fish Rapid Testing Station is at the entrance of the market and is divided into ticket inspection rooms, archives rooms and testing rooms. The sign hanging outside the testing station reads the entry requirements: "Provide proof of origin and conduct rapid testing", and clearly marks the testing items: malachite green, chloramphenicol and nitrofuran metabolites. "None of these projects must be detected. If the requirements do not meet the requirements, they cannot enter the market for transactions." Li Ying, wearing a white coat and a blue mask, kept shaking the test tube in her hand and said to a merchant lined up. The young Li Ying is the director of the testing room of Shimen Market Food Testing Center. She has been doing food testing in the market for many years.
The reporter walked into the testing room, and the layout here was more like a chemistry laboratory. There are various testing reagents, test tubes, and quick inspection equipment on the table. In the narrow space, the inspectors must work from 9 am to 11 pm. "The aquatic products manager must go to the merchant to take samples in person and then send them to us for testing. About 50 cars and kilograms of fish are tested every day." Li Ying said that the entire inspection process requires the collaboration of several inspectors. The first person is responsible for picking up meat from the fish sample. The fish meat is removed at least 10 grams, of which 5 grams are for testing. The remaining samples are reserved for secondary sampling after entering the market. After the second inspector used a machine to crush the fish, several reagents for detecting malachite green will be added to the sample. After adding the reagent, the sample will produce solid liquid stratification. The third inspector took out the liquid from it for inspection, and then dripped the final liquid onto the drip board to view the results after adding reagents, blow-drying, etc.
"More common fish that are prone to malachite green include mandarin fish , bass, grouper, black fish , multi-treasure fish , sturgeon, eel, etc.", Li Ying said that malachite green can be used to kill fungi and parasites on the surface of the fish, especially for water mold disease. Later, scientists suspected that malachite green has a potential threat of carcinogenic and teratogenic, so their use began to gradually tighten. Our country has also included it on the "illegal blacklist for adding illegally". In order to extend the survival time of fresh aquatic products, some fishermen now use malachite green solution to disinfect the transportation carriage during transportation. "If the sample contains components such as malachite green, our test dropper will display the corresponding color according to negative and positive: "It takes about 50 minutes from sampling to output, and the centrifugation process takes 25 to 30 minutes."
" In the past, we used to conduct random inspections after entering the market, but now we must inspect before entering the market." Lin Hongru, deputy general manager of Shunxin Shimen Agricultural Products Wholesale Market Co., Ltd., has always been responsible for the market's food safety. He said that the market's inspection of freshwater fish is moved forward. Merchants must first enter the area to be inspected, submit the certificate of origin, complete the sampling and rapid testing, and only after passing the qualification can they enter the market trading area. Every car and each variety of fish must be tested. As long as it is detected, it cannot enter the market if it contains banned substances. "If there is a problem with one fish, the whole vehicle will be pulled back. "
Second After entering the market: random inspection at any time, and exit the market twice without passing the market
Because the fish market opens every day, the testing team led by Li Ying must be on the front line of testing, and holidays and weekends are no exception. "In addition to the necessary inspection before entering the market, merchants also face random inspections at any time after entering the market. "The staff on site of the Shunyi District Food and Drug Administration told reporters.
Although there are 9 testing personnel in the entire team and the rest is implemented, as the team leader, Li Ying keeps watching from 9 am to 11 pm every day: "I am the team leader, and every class must be there. If the tester says he is qualified, he will pass. As the team leader, you have to check every result. "As she said that, the cell phone in Li Ying's pocket rang. She looked at it and pressed it: "It's only time between two shifts and when she gets home, she can't answer the phone. She can't even take care of it when she's busy. "
This workload that seems unbearable to outsiders, Li Ying bluntly said that she was tired and happy: "We are ready to increase the manpower and strive to improve the testing efficiency a little more, so that I will have a chance to rest. "Li Ying said that the inspectors on the team have been engaged in inspections for many years, so despite the large number of tests every day, they have never had any errors or rework: "We are now working on the flow of water, and who is responsible for which step and what reagents are added, are all very skilled. "
detects more than 50 cars every day, how many problematic fish can be found? "Very few", said Lin Hongru, deputy general manager of the market. Since the beginning of "one car and one inspection", except for 4 cars that have detected trace amounts of malachite green and asked them to go home, the other two items have not been measured. "Fishmongers also think it is not worth it. The market business is so good now. Once the problem is found, not only will the job be wasted, but the shipping and labor costs are all paid in, and it may also cost the transactions in the market. It is too unprofitable. So they are very careful when entering the fish from the place of origin. "
" Shimen Market is the largest freshwater fish distribution base in Beijing and even North China. The daily trading volume of freshwater fish in the market reaches 400,000 kilograms." Lin Hongru said that even if merchants enter the market, they cannot be said to be safe. A consumer once asked, what should they do if they pass the test and add medicine after they come in? We require merchants to clarify their names and contact information. Breeding merchants and enterprises, transporters, and Shimen Market merchants must sign and confirm on the certificate of origin and sampling order to ensure traceability; "If unqualified freshwater fish are found in the same origin twice, they will not be able to enter this market to sell in the future. "In the next step, the market also plans to conduct on-site inspections on breeding merchants and enterprises with high pass rates and a certain scale. After passing the inspection, sign a site linkage agreement to ensure the food safety of freshwater fish.
Third Road Catering Street: Dual-screen monitoring The purchase of live fish is announced in all places.
Consumers enter the restaurant to eat fish. Where did this fish come from? It is now clear. In a "Shuntiancheng" fish restaurant in Nanfaxin Town, Shunyi District, a "Shuntiancheng" fish restaurant mainly based on fish dishes, as soon as they entered the lobby, the reporter noticed the live fish swimming in the pool, both large and small, with different varieties. The display screen on the live fish pond scrolls in real time and plays the varieties and sources of these fish. Fang Lei, director of the Nanfaxin Food and Drug Administration, pointed to the screen and told the reporter, "You see, the restaurant's business license, employee health certificate, food safety responsibility letter, purchase ledger and supplier details can all be seen, "The live fish is purchased from the Shimen Jingcheng Fish Store in Shimen Market, and the Kayu is Yixing Aquatic Products Co., Ltd. in Shimen Market. ”
On another display screen, the entire process of the chef entering and leaving the kitchen and cooking is clearly displayed on the screen."This eliminates the suspicion that consumers have had any violations in the kitchen processing and cooking process. There are videos that are easy to check." Fang Lei said that some customers once suspected that there were foreign objects in the dishes and accused the chef of making trouble. Later, they retrieved the video of the kitchen, and all the processing processes were clearly seen, and the customers also relieved their doubts.
As the vanguard of the city's " open kitchen and bright stove " and "sunshine catering" projects, the "open kitchen and bright stove" in the catering venues in Shunyi District reached more than 30%, and more than 110 catering companies in Shiyuan Street achieved 100%. According to Li Hong, head of the catering service supervision section of the Shunyi District Food and Drug Administration, most catering places in Nanfaxin Street have installed two screens, which have conducted the maximum control of the source of ingredients and all aspects of the operation process. At the market monitoring level, since the new laboratory of Shunyi District Food and Drug Safety Monitoring Center completed construction and put into use at the end of October 2016, it has successively carried out food safety monitoring and evaluation work, and carried out risk monitoring of foods such as soy sauce, vinegar, beverages, seasoned noodle products sold in shopping malls, supermarkets and wholesale markets in the jurisdiction, and tested and evaluated more than 60 projects such as benzoic acid, sorbic acid, and saccharin sodium to ensure the safety of consumers' daily food consumption.
