From July 26th to August 6th, during the 12-day period when Golden Beach Beer City opened its doors for customers, the west coast law enforcement agencies inspected 25,075 batches of food raw materials, inspected 2,018 households, sampled 1,320 batches of food, and issued 507 supervision opinions. The staff of the Market Supervision Bureau running in the beer city built a food safety defense line for the beer city to protect the safety of citizens and tourists.
The source controls the food entering the park.
At about 14 o’clock on the 6th, the reporter followed the law enforcement team of Qingdao West Coast New District Market Supervision Bureau to inspect the freight vehicles that are about to enter the park one by one. On the street outside the logistics channel monitoring station, a young man carrying tofu was stopped by the team members. It turned out that in the routine inspection just conducted, the young man could not provide relevant certificates such as the store business license.
"All foods and drinks entering Golden Beach Beer City must be qualified as manufacturers, and at the same time, they must have corresponding purchase orders and inspection reports. Those who do not meet the requirements are prohibited from entering the park." Zhang Haijun, deputy director of Qingdao West Coast New District Market Supervision Bureau, said that the team members need to check the business license, food business license, test report, purchase receipts and other qualifications of the suppliers one by one for the vehicles entering the park to ensure the safety of the food entering the park.
Although the young man kept telling the team members that he could eat a piece of tofu to prove his safety, the team members still stopped him outside the beer city. At his side, two other young people took away more than 300 kilograms of rice cakes with carts. The same reason is that it is impossible to provide relevant certificates such as store business license.
Products that are returned because they cannot provide relevant certificates are not a case. In order to ensure the food safety of Oktoberfest, the Market Supervision Bureau set up a 19-person logistics channel group to inspect the food processing raw materials and newly produced draft beers entering the beer city batch by batch in three time periods: morning (6: 00-8: 00), noon (12: 30-14: 30) and early morning (11: 00-3: 00), and to check the three noes. As of the 6th, 25,075 batches of food raw materials have been inspected and 63 batches of unqualified ingredients have been returned.
In addition, the relevant staff of the Market Supervision Bureau also implemented an uninterrupted inspection system for beer tents and beer huts, focusing on the purchase and sale accounts, food shelf life, production date, etc., and supervising the destruction of overnight spoiled food and beer found in the inspection. By the 6th, 2018 households had been inspected, 332 kilograms of seafood and overnight food had been destroyed, and 507 supervision opinions had been issued.
Quick food inspection and investigation of potential safety hazards
In terms of food inspection, the Market Supervision Bureau has specially set up a Oktoberfest quick inspection team to conduct quick on-site inspection on the food and containers sold every day. The detection items include pesticide residue detection of fruits and vegetables, clenbuterol detection of pork and mutton, nitrite detection of cooked meat products, malachite green and formaldehyde detection of fresh seafood, chloramphenicol detection of cultured aquatic products, ATP detection of sterilized tableware and wine, etc.
"Generally within 30 minutes, the test can be completed in 1 minute at the earliest." Xue Jun, head of the quick inspection team, said that the quick inspection method is timely and effective, which is convenient for staff to respond quickly to tourists’ complaints, ensure food safety in the first time and investigate food safety hazards. "If the test result is positive, we will notify the district testing center or a third party to test and sample, send it to the laboratory for further testing and confirmation, and investigate and deal with the suspected illegal activities." Xue Jun said.
In order to strengthen the intensity and frequency of sampling inspection and ensure food safety to the maximum extent, the fast-track inspection team of the Market Supervision Bureau conducts random sampling inspection on the food operated by Oktoberfest households every day, sampling about 120 batches of samples every day, and so far, a total of 1,320 batches have been tested.
Check the price. Tourists eat with peace of mind.
In order to make the tourists in Golden Beach Beer City have a good time, the Market Supervision Bureau also strictly controls the price tag, giving administrative guidance to the price lists of 9 beer tents, 3 e-sports areas, 34 wooden houses and 18 Zhiwei food cities, indicating the types and weights of seafood and kebabs, deleting bad advertising slogans such as "killing bean skin" and "bombing squid" and modifying "oysters".
In addition, there is a special equipment inspection team, which randomly checks at least 3 elevators, 2 large amusement facilities and 5 sightseeing bus every day, and issues a rectification instruction on the spot for illegal behaviors of users. Now, 3 cases of illegal use of special equipment have been investigated and rectified in time. (Qilu Evening News Qilu point reporter Pan Xuye intern Zhang Mingkun correspondent Lan Meina)
