- industry analysis
organic certification lack of follow-up supervision
according to the latest edition of "organic product certification management methods", organic products refer to the production, processing and sales of the national standards for organic products in China. The national organic product standard GB/T19630.1-2011 has made strict regulations for every aspect of land, environment, production materials, production process and so on.
industry believes that organic food production process is difficult and costly, which is the fundamental reason why some enterprises and certification bodies violate regulations. The high price of organic food also makes many false organic foods and propaganda desperately dangerous. The problems of organic certification, re certification and light management need to be solved.
there are no names in the industry to the new Beijing News reporter revealed that after the certification of organic food certification, some certification agencies may go to the enterprise to check up to one or two times a year, and some enterprises spraying pesticides in the seedlings, it is difficult to detect.
Liu Junhai, vice president of the Chinese Consumer Association and Professor Liu Junhai of the Renmin University of China, said that the problem of false propaganda for organic food is quite prominent, mainly because some enterprises do not pay attention to the improvement of food quality, but are opportunistic to invest heavily in advertising and thus mislead the consumers. In May 14th, an expert in organic industry told the new Beijing News reporter that there were three plates in the chain of organic product management, such as producers, certification bodies and supervision departments. The reason why there was a heavy certification and light supervision is that the certification institutions are often a kind of enterprise behavior, but they are omitted.
