Recently, Liu Jiang, a counterfeiter who cracked down on Dongfang's selection of imported prawns, made a major mistake in Dongfang's response to this matter. In its reply, Dongfang Selection mentioned that its imported prawns had been tested by customs, and that its imported prawns met national standards.
This makes many netizens mistakenly believe that as long as imported food is tested by the customs, it meets the national food safety standards, but in fact, this understanding is very wrong. The Customs is responsible for the inspection and quarantine of entry-exit inspection, mainly for the safety, performance, specifications, quantity, hygiene, epidemic prevention and other aspects of imported and exported food. and is not responsible for whether it meets the food safety standards of the importing country.
In this regard, on December 9, 2022, the relevant state departments have made relevant explanations and explanations on this matter.
In this explanation, it has been clearly stated that customs testing cannot be used as proof that imported food meets the mainland's food safety standards. The customs inspection is only responsible for the food that meets the import inspection and quarantine conditions.
Through this comparison, Dongfang Selection specifically mentioned in this statement that it has passed the customs inspection, which is suspected of misleading consumers.
Through this comparison, it also shows that Liu Jiang, a counterfeiter, mentioned in his reply to Dongfang Selection that an administrative lawsuit had been initiated against Tianjin Xingang Customs, mainly for its administrative inaction. According to the previous explanations of the relevant departments, Liu Jiang's administrative lawsuit may end in failure. Or is it because the test results of the customs cannot be used as a basis for meeting the food safety of the mainland, that is to say, the customs will not be responsible for this result.
Although Liu Jiang's administrative lawsuit is facing a failed result, it is also hoped that this result can give consumers across the country a legal popularization. Let consumers across the country realize that imported food does not necessarily meet our country's food safety standards. At the same time, imported food does not mean that its quality is high.
In recent years, there have been many cases of imported food not meeting the food safety standards of the mainland. Moreover, there are also a lot of imported foods entering the live broadcast room, and I hope that consumers will keep their eyes open and check their food test reports to see if they meet our country's food safety standards.
Not only that, but there are also many illegal operators who package domestic food and pass it off as imported food under the guise of imported food, and hype it up on the grounds that it has been tested by customs. Therefore, consumers must go to regular stores to make purchases.
