Shandong's beef cow disease beef market media said China's regulatory gap with the United States.
recently surging news reports that Shandong dairy cattle ranch stole 595 dead cows, including a lot of sick beef to the table. The entry of sick beef into the market is only one aspect of the long history of China's food safety. The exposed animal quarantine, food safety legislation and many loopholes in law enforcement have to cause us to pay more attention to it.
.Quot in Shandong Australian suburban ranch;.Quot in dead cow case; not isolated case. It is a common phenomenon that grazing cattle and dead cattle enter meat market. In order to reduce the loss, the healthy cattle are usually sold to the meat factory, the sick cattle and the dead cattle are sold to the black workshop
.quot, and the million head ranch.Quot; it is a solution for the dairy enterprises to solve.Quot; the small households are scattered, the milk enterprises buy the.Quot; the milk enterprises are weak in the binding force to the dairy farmers and difficult to guarantee the standard production. However, intensive farming has also focused on China's many defects in animal quarantine and food safety supervision, and the problem of dying cattle in pasture is one of the problems.
according to surging news reports, Shandong Australia suburban pasture.Quot; dead cow case.Quot; no isolated case. It is a common phenomenon that cattle and dead cattle enter the meat market. According to Song Liang, a senior dairy researcher, the annual rate of cattle elimination in large ranches is around 20%, including healthy cows that are normally eliminated, including sick cattle and dead cattle. In order to reduce the loss,.Quot was sold to the meat factory, and the sick cow and the dead cow were sold to the black workshop. This is the ubiquitous.Quot.
China does not have a mandatory slaughtering quarantine for cattle and sheep. To prevent diseases and dead cattle from entering the market, it is up to the breeders to declare and quarantine them voluntarily. If no one has declared, sick, dead cattle into the market is basically in.Quot; the people do not sue, the official does not investigate.Quot; the release state
the so-called slaughterhouse quarantine is to treat the slaughtered animals for living examination, only slaughter quarantine through the market. According to the Ministry of agriculture, according to the law of animal epidemic prevention law and Animal Husbandry Law, cattle and sheep are required to declare quarantine before entering the market, slaughtering and entering the market, and are qualified for the quarantine of the origin of the animal health supervision institution in the locality. But in practice, it is often.Quot; people do not tell, officials do not study.Quot; if no one declare quarantine, the dead cow with unknown cause can enter the market without obstruction. The deputy director of the Agricultural Bureau of a prefecture level city in Shanxi acknowledged:.Quot; some farmers have been working hard for a cow, and the result is accidental fall to death, slaughtering the meat, as long as no one has reported the general also will not be investigated for.Quot; Similarly, illegal traders who sell sick beef into the market will naturally not be hampered by regulation.
in accordance with the animal epidemic prevention law and the relevant regulations of the Ministry of agriculture, the sick and dead animals should be treated harmlessly, but the cost of treating dead livestock by small and medium farmers is very high. It is usually sold to the black market illegal traders or directly thrown into the river
with the pig breeding industry as an example. The data of the Caixin net shows that the number of Chinese pigs is 2012 It reaches 700 million in the year, half of the world's output. According to the mortality 3%-5%, the number of live pigs is about 35 million per year. According to the "animal epidemic prevention law" and the relevant provisions of the Ministry of agriculture, the dead animals should be treated harmlessly, namely, digging, disinfection and deep burying. However, it will cost more than 200 yuan to hire a person to deal with a sick pig. According to the current subsidy policy, harmless treatment can only receive 80 yuan subsidy, and the application procedure is cumbersome.
in addition, the small farmers under 50 pigs are not subsidized, which means that 1/3 of the country's pig farms are not covered by the subsidy policy. The lack of government subsidies and inadequate supervision make the farmers have no incentive to deal with animal bodies in accordance with the regulations. It is common practice to sell the dead pigs to the black market illegal traders or directly to the river channel, and the lack of effective supervision of the food market. It is not surprising that it is often out of the country to burst into the market on a large scale. (Xinhua April 8, 2015 report: Fujian: how does more than 2000 tons of sick pork go to the table? ) compared with
in 1997, Taiwan established a system to deal with dead livestock and poultry after the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in 1997, and reduced the cost of harmless livestock and poultry to deal with dead livestock and poultry. At the same time, it avoided the pollution of the dead livestock and poultry, and avoided the
Taiwan foot-and-mouth disease epidemic in 1997. 60% of this is funded by the government. This policy reduces the cost of harmless treatment of farmers, and avoids the environmental problems caused by burial and incineration. The so-called "rendering" is made into high temperature saturated steam inside a high pressure vessel or interlayer of the container. Under the action of high temperature, high pressure or dry heat and high pressure, the fat and protein in the corpse tissue are separated and the meat and bone powder and oil are obtained. The meat and bone powder can be used as the feed additive for ruminant animals. The oil can be used to refine the organism. Diesel and made soap powder.
more than 80% of pig farmers in Taiwan now deal with dead pigs through 7.Quot in Taiwan and.Quot in chemical plants. For example, a pig farmer in Taichung city will sign a contract with Taichung pig association and Yunlin factory every year: once pig farmers find dead pigs, they should notify the pig association, the association will send.Quot of the dead and dead livestock and poultry, and make the raw material transport car.Quot; go to the house of the pig to carry the dead pig and transport it to the Yunlin factory.
in the United States, as early as in the federal Meat Quality Inspection Act of 1906, the regulatory authorities should check and label each animal, each dead animal body before slaughter, and prevent unfit meat from flowing into the federal Meat Quality Inspection Act (Federal M) of the market
1906 (Federal M). Eat Inspection Act, FMIA) aims to ensure the safety of meat food: to prevent adulterated or unproperly labeled meat from inflow into the food market and to ensure meat products to be slaughtered and processed in a sanitary environment. The main provisions of the bill are: 1. animals need compulsory inspection before slaughtering; 2. every dead animal body needs compulsory inspection; 3. establishes health standards for slaughterhouses and meat processing plants; and 4. authorizes the United States Department of agriculture as the main regulatory authority.
although a number of laws governing the meat industry have been passed in the United States after 1906, the meat quality inspection act is still in force 109 years later and is binding on the States. In 2012, the Supreme Court in the national meat Federation v. Harris (National Meat Association v. Harris) decided that the meat quality inspection law was more authoritative than the law on the regulation of slaughterhouses issued by the state of California.
in 1906 "meat quality inspection law", the United States has drawn up 3 congressional legislation and more than 40 administrative regulations involving animal derived food safety, including animal slaughter management, animal product inspection and so on, which really realized.Quot; from farm to table.Quot;
meat quality inspection law. Is for the red meat products (cattle, pigs, sheep and other animal products) safety inspection. After that, the United States Congress has passed the three congressional legislation of "poultry and its products inspection law" for white meat products (chicken, Turkey, duck, goose, etc.), egg products inspection law for eggs and egg products and the distribution and sales law of agricultural products.
the Department of food safety inspection of the Ministry of agriculture, within the jurisdiction of the four laws, has issued more than 40 administrative regulations on the safety of animal food, including general provisions, slaughter inspection, animal and animal product inspection, production and processing health, product identification and registration, including more than 40 parts in the Federal Code "" in the ninth volume and third chapters. The meticulous legal system has truly realized the overall supervision of food.Quot; from farm to table.Quot.
the United States began to regulate the food safety legislation at the federal level, to a large extent, the government's positive response to civil liberties. The 1906 American writer Sinclair's novel "Jungle" promoted an important legislation on food and drug safety in the early twentieth Century progressives,
the federal government's efforts to safeguard consumer food safety began in 1906 with the "pure food and drug law case" and "federal Meat Quality Inspection Act". Signed by President Theodore I, it is an important legislation in the early twentieth Century. The former created the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has now played a major role in food and drug regulation, which aims to prevent the inflow of unsuitable meat into the market.
it is worth mentioning that these bills stem from the federal government's positive response to civil liberties. The start of the legislative process owes much to the writer's and Upton Sinclair's novel the jungle. The novel describes the difficult life of a poor Bohemia immigrant in the suburb of Chicago, but the main content of the novel is the description of the bad sanitary conditions in the meat processing plant in Chicago. After reading the book, Theodore I, the then president, launched a survey of meat processing plants and found that his health condition was as bad as the novel. Soon after that, Congress passed the above two food hygiene bills.
