Table 2. 5 serious food safety issues and details in the first half year of 2015
No Issues Ratio accounted for total unqualified samples Details
1 Agricultural and veterinary drug exceeded 2.8%
  • The forbidden or limited drugs like chloramphenicol, malachite green, "lean" and enrofloxacin were detected in some samples
2 Illegal to add non-edible substances and use food additives over-range or over-limited 19.3%
  • Non-edible substances like borax, rhodamine B, dimethyl fumarate and papaverine were detected in the samples
  • Food additives like preservatives, sweeteners and colorants were unqualified in some samples
3 Unqualified microorganism index 35.0%
  • The total number of colonies, coliform and molds of the samples were over-limited.
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and other pathogens were also detected in some samples
4 Unqualified heavy metal index 12.7%
  • Heavy metals like Al, Pb, Hg exceeded the limitation
5 Unqualified quality index 31.9%
  • The items such as alcohol, acid value and conductivity were unqualified.
 
Through expert analysis, the reasons for unqualified cases can be concluded as follows:
1. For agricultural and veterinary drug exceeded, it was mainly because of illegal usage of drugs on the farm or during the circulation.
2. For illegal additives, it was mainly to improve the shelf life or sensory quality of the products.
3. For unqualified microorganism index, it was mainly because that the production environment, health conditions or storage conditions were not under good control.
4. For unqualified heavy metal index, it was mainly because of the contamination from production environment, fertilizer or feed.
5. For unqualified quality index, it was mainly because that the production process was improper.
 
CFDA has took a number of measures to deal with these issues, and will still strengthen the supervision and sampling inspection of food safety. Public can find the inspection results on the CFDA website.
