There is such a case, a friend surnamed Yang in Guangxi Baise, he killed the Nian pig during the New Year, and then left 14 catties for himself and gave 33 catties to his nephew, and the remaining pork was sold to his neighbors and relatives around him, selling a total of 2253.24 yuan. As a result, he was reported and eventually fined 100,000 yuan.
Combined with the latest revision of the "Pig Slaughter Management Regulations", let's analyze this case together. The revised regulations stipulate that pork circulating in the market must be slaughtered in a well-documented slaughterhouse. That is to say, for some small slaughterhouses or individual farmers with incomplete documents, they cannot kill pigs. So the question is, can't our own pigs be killed?
The main reason why he was fined was that he sold the pork he slaughtered. That is to say, if his pork is eaten in his own home, he will not face any legal risks, after all, the Regulations on the Administration of Pig Slaughter stipulate that pork circulates in the market.

But anyone who has gone to the market to buy pork will inevitably see that there is a red or blue seal on the pork, which is very eye-catching. First of all, are these seals edible? Is it harmful to be eaten inside the body?
According to the relevant laws and regulations, the pork sold in China must go through quality inspection and pork quarantine, pork sold in the market must have two certificates and two chapters, the two certificates are animal product quarantine certificate, meat quality inspection certificate, the corresponding two chapters are quarantine inspection seal and meat quality inspection seal. These two chapters can be seen when we buy pork.
The "Quarantine Seal" is a long strip that is usually printed from the shoulder blade of the pork to the buttocks of the pork, without interruption. This chapter contains very rich information, we can see the province where the pork was slaughtered, the seal code, the quarantine and inspection situation, the specific date of quarantine, etc., such a chapter can make the pork in question can be traced back.
The "meat quality inspection qualification seal" is stamped by the slaughterhouse, which mainly means that the quality of the pork is qualified, this seal is mostly round, and the seal also contains specific slaughtering companies, dates and inspections.
So what doorway do we see seals of different colors? In fact, the red seal is the pork quality inspection seal, while the blue seal is the stamp stamped by the animal quarantine department to ensure that the animal is not contagious and the like.
Of course, the requirements of different places are different, and the situation of the seal will also be different. There are different patterns from the color of the stamp to the stamp. So for friends who buy meat in the market, don't think that the pork you buy is contaminated by seals, in fact, these seals use food colorants and are edible. Only stamped meat can mean that meat is safe.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" > X stamp</h1>
Not all pork can be quarantined, and only meat that passes the quarantine can be stamped. Substandard meat may be stamped with the X seal, this meat is generally not in circulation in the market, but if you really see it, then do not buy, this seal indicates that the pork may have some kind of disease, is prohibited from selling and eating. Pork that fails to pass the quarantine will be sent to a special place for pollution-free treatment.
So the question arises again, can my own pigs be killed?
The answer is yes. Pigs raised by themselves can be killed, but there is no relevant epidemic prevention certificate and meat inspection certificate for killing pigs themselves, so pigs they kill cannot be sold and can only be eaten by themselves.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" why stamp pork >? </h1>
So why stamp pork and prevent meat from entering the market without formalities? This is for food safety considerations, if all the people kill their own pigs and then sell them in the market without quality control, then the market is not chaotic? So are we more likely to eat problematic pork?
Although the new regulations are strict, food is safer for the people.
