Xinhua net Shandong channel February 18th special power (reporter Wei Shengyao) with various ingredients of the black pepper beef willow, cumin mutton, boiled fish slices... On the 17 day, reporters in some supermarkets in Ji'nan saw that some "hard dishes" that looked complicated and difficult to make were popular in the form of "semi finished dishes". Consumers Association reminded that "semi finished dishes" is convenient, but supermarkets and consumers need to jointly control the quality of food. On the evening of 17, the reporter saw in many supermarkets on the western road of Yu Fu Road and Lishi District of Ji'nan city. These "semi finished dishes" are mainly meat. All of them have been cut well, with all the seasoning and common vegetables, covered with pallet in the cold fresh special cabinet, and customers can "buy now". "The price of each dish varies from 20 yuan to 40 yuan. Generally speaking, buying half a kilo is the weight of a dish." According to the sales staff of some supermarkets, it can save a lot of time because of the simple cooking after buying home. The sales of "semi finished food" are very good, especially by the busy working people. The reporter found that most of these "semi-finished dishes" did not mark the processing production or packaging date, and there were no quality certificates and manufacturers, but only some cooking auxiliary materials for some dishes were labeled with processing and production information. "Semi finished dish" is really convenient, but its legal definition is vague, neither prepackaged food nor bulk food. Wang Zhiyuan, deputy director of the legal support center of the Consumer Association of Shandong Province, believes that "semi finished food" is actually "pre processed food". When consumers buy it, we must check the quality of the material well. Before buying it, we should ask the processing time, the date of packing and the shelf life, and pay attention to the proper storage and release temperature of the supermarket. "Enough to eat" is the standard. It is best to buy only the weight that can be eaten on the same day, and buy it home instead of storing it. Wang Zhiyuan said that the safety quality of "semi finished dishes" is hard to trace back. He suggested that the supermarket should standardize the delivery channels and processes, select the qualified food supply enterprises, avoid the "black workshop" and the inflow of the problem, and the cold and fresh refrigerated environment should ensure the fresh and safe food. At the same time, he reminded consumers to choose a large regular supermarket as far as possible, to keep a good shopping ticket or invoice, so as not to be able to negotiate and blame for the health problems of "half finished food".
