< br / > a message and push the McDonald's to the top of the wind and waves! R />
a few days ago, McDonald's announced that in 2017 the US market would buy chicken products that did not use human antibiotics. That is to say, other countries other than the United States do not apply new rules. Public opinion was quickly detonated, McDonald's was accused of "double standards", "see people dish dishes"...
then, is there any Chinese and foreign flickers at home or abroad, or is China itself a low standard, or is it a business strategy?
according to the report, several American consumer groups have submitted petitions to McDonald's and other companies to stop using Chicken with antibiotics. And McDonald's agreed to announce that from 2017, McDonald's in the US market will only buy chicken products that do not use human antibiotics.
the media and consumers, including China, are not happy: why should a chicken burger meet two sets of standards? McDonald's reply in China is "it is necessary to use antibiotics in the process of animal treatment." McDonald's asked Chinese suppliers to strictly abide by the relevant laws and regulations of the state for the use of antibiotics. We will cooperate with relevant government departments, suppliers and experts, and gradually promote the development of the industry according to the actual situation of China's agriculture. The news of
also raised public opinion in Britain. According to BBC, the British charity Share Action is launching a powerful e-mail campaign calling on consumers to send e-mail to McDonald's Steve eastT Brook, calling on McDonald's to stop supplying meat and dairy products that have used human antibiotics in 30 thousand stores in more than 100 countries. In the American market.
last year, it was proposed that the program
read the news that McDonald's announced several features: one is a few months ahead of McDonald's plan; the two is that this measure is currently only applicable to the company's restaurant in the United States; and the three is that McDonald's previously announced that the agricultural practice around the world and the practice of agriculture all over the world There is a discrepancy in regulatory rules. It is too early to set a timetable for the use of antibiotics other than chicken meat.
on the official website of the Ministry of agriculture of China, the reporter saw a number of announcements about the use of antibiotics. The announcement showed that some antibiotics were allowed to be used in livestock and poultry, but only the types and dosage were limited. That is to say, the Chinese market of food enterprises has used the standard antibiotic chicken, so it is not illegal.
not completely without antibiotic
it is noteworthy that McDonald's in the United States claims not to use human antibiotics, and not completely out of use of antibiotics. Huang Xianhui, an associate professor at the Agricultural Institute of veterinary medicine, said in an interview that the reason why poultry use human antibiotics is that animal specific antibiotics are actually intersecting with human antibiotics, such as penicillin, which is allowed to be used in animals.
at present, foreign animals have been asked to use animal specific drugs, veterinary drugs and human medicines can not be the same species. China is also moving slowly in this direction, but this process should be gradual and slower than foreign countries, because the policy is not so fast.
adding appropriate amount of antibiotics to livestock and poultry feed can reduce the consumption of harmful microorganisms in livestock and poultry, nutrients in the diet, increase the feed conversion rate, enhance the resistance of livestock and poultry to the disease, increase appetite and promote the growth of livestock and poultry. However, the abuse of antibiotics will not only cause harm to the human body, but also pollute the land and water sources.
don't be afraid to eat "antibiotic chicken"
Zhu Yi, associate professor of the school of food science and nutrition engineering at the China Agricultural University. It is not realistic at the present stage to disuse antibiotics in domestic livestock breeding, but if antibiotics are used according to the law, supervision is in place and food safety is guaranteed. Yes.
it is not realistic in China to completely ban the feed antibiotics, or stop the use of human antibiotics. At present, the three points are as long as it is possible to strictly enforce the dosage of antibiotics, control the period of taking antibiotics after antibiotics, and strictly supervise the residues of antibiotics. The chicken of American McDonald's is slightly different when it is raised, and there is no difference for consumers to eat meat.
"98% of the veterinary drug residue limits in our country are comparable to international standards. As long as we are in place, we should not worry that the chicken we eat is antibiotic chicken. The five departments of the food safety office of the State Council also reported that from August 2016 to December 2017, the special regulation of antibiotics, banned compounds and veterinary drug residues in livestock and poultry products was carried out throughout the country.
accused of being a new marketing
also said that McDonald's strategy is actually a new marketing offensive. In recent years, McDonald's and KFC are generally facing downward pressure on performance. Food engineering doctor, scientific squirrel Association members of the unintentional analysis said that the weakness of sales will have to change, one of the moves is to change the president, in March last year McDonald's "stop the use of antibiotic chicken", it was the old CEO when the CEO made a stick. When a new official takes office, he will start a new marketing offensive. Based on the same considerations, McDonald's also announced that it would provide milk that did not use growth hormone at the same time,
in the unintentional view of the cloud, McDonald's is the largest chicken consumer in the United States, a decision that will force other peers to follow up, leading to an increase in the cost of chicken supplier breeding. In the short term, these costs will be borne by the links in the production and marketing supply chain, but in the end, the market will be reshuffled. But in other countries, McDonald's has not so much influence on the chicken market, and such a change will cost more, and these will eventually be borne by consumers. However, when the "antibiotic chicken" was announced last year, McDonald's said, "the above measures will increase the cost of McDonald's, but the increase in costs may not be transmitted to consumers, because food prices are determined by many factors."
netizens view
Y-0513: McDonald's can choose not to stop, we can choose not to eat.
- Yin Xiaosi 0: if you really use the unregulated antibiotic chicken, the government won't let it go so safely and fines it to death. Moreover, suppliers are all Chinese. Rather than let everyone else shoot, it is better to supervise the domestic food supply chain.
: stars in China: in the eyes of the Chinese, there are only two countries in the world: China and foreign countries.
