Recently, the news of the reporter undercover McDonald's has attracted widespread attention. The problems at Zhengzhou's Excellence Agricultural Federation and Jinan University restaurants are alarming, involving tampering with food expiration labels, using expired ingredients, selling food beyond its expiration date, and cutting corners. The head of McDonald's China's public relations department responded that "it is still being confirmed and verified", which can not help but make people more confused and worried.
First of all, we need to be clear that food safety is the most basic and important bottom line in the catering industry. As a world-renowned fast food brand, McDonald's should provide consumers with safe and healthy food, which is its most basic responsibility and obligation. However, in the exposed video, McDonald's has serious food safety problems, and the use of expired ingredients and tampering with expiration date labels is undoubtedly irresponsible for consumer health.
Secondly, McDonald's response is even more disappointing that it is "still being confirmed and verified". In the face of public skepticism and media coverage, McDonald's should take immediate steps to investigate and address the existing problems, and provide transparent information to the public. Now, McDonald's is responding with "still being confirmed and verified", which is undoubtedly disrespectful to the public and hurts its own reputation.
In fact, there are many cases of food safety. In order to pursue profits, many enterprises and merchants do not hesitate to use expired ingredients and tamper with expiration date labels, which not only seriously endangers the health of consumers, but also seriously undermines the fairness and impartiality of the market. We must strengthen the supervision of food safety, crack down on violations of laws and regulations, and safeguard the rights and interests of consumers and the order of the market.
In response to McDonald's problems, we must not only conduct in-depth investigation and treatment of McDonald's itself, but also reflect on the entire catering industry. The catering industry should strengthen its self-discipline and strictly abide by food safety regulations to ensure the quality and safety of food. At the same time, the regulatory authorities should also strengthen the supervision of the catering industry, increase the cost and risk of violations of laws and regulations, and ensure that food safety is implemented.
In addition, we need to raise awareness of food safety from the perspective of consumers themselves. When choosing a catering brand, consumers should pay more attention to brand reputation and food safety status, and choose those companies with good reputation and reputation. At the same time, consumers should also have the right and obligation to supervise and report food safety issues, and contribute to maintaining market order and consumer rights and interests.
In short, McDonald's expired ingredients are once again reminded us that food safety is a top priority. We must strengthen the supervision of food safety, maintain the fairness and impartiality of the market, and ensure the health and rights of every consumer. At the same time, we also need to start from ourselves, improve food safety awareness, choose safe and healthy catering brands, and jointly create a safe and healthy eating environment.
