Illegal immigrants from American slaughterhouses

Food safety is a global issue that all countries in the world attach great importance to today. In the United States, the European Union and other countries, from food safety legislation, supervision system and institutions, to food safety risk assessment and early warning, food safety standard system. , each has very detailed systems and standards, forming a perfect food safety management chain, thus ensuring the supervision of the whole production, processing and circulation from farmland to table. And offenders will also pay a high price for illegal activities.

Now let's take a look at the situation in Europe and America, which may be helpful to you:

United States:

The first food safety management law in the United States has an indissoluble bond with a book. 1904, American writer Sinclair completed the documentary novel Slaughterhouse, which was serialized in a magazine. In his works, there is a description of a meat processing factory: "The factory chopped up moldy ham and stuffed it into sausages; Workers walk around on the meat and spit everywhere; Poisoned mice were mixed into the meat grinder; The water for washing hands is made into seasoning ... "

It is said that then US President theodore roosevelt was reading this novel at breakfast in the White House. Read here, Roosevelt let out a cry, spit out all the food that was not chewed, and threw the rest of the sausage out of the window. Later, Roosevelt made a special trip to meet Sinclair and ordered the US Department of Agriculture to investigate the slaughterhouse. The conclusion of the investigation is: "The situation of food processing is disgusting."

Under the strong pressure of public opinion, in June 1906, the US Congress passed the first food management law, namely the Pure Food and Drug Law.

Europe:

Since 1980s, a series of food safety incidents have occurred in Europe. First, the dioxin pollution incident in Belgium, then the mad cow disease and foot-and-mouth disease 1996 incident that spread from Britain to Europe.

European food safety lights up red light. Therefore, in June, 2000, 5438+ 10, the European Commission issued the White Paper on Food Safety, and proposed the establishment of the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA). In February 2002, the Food Safety Bureau was formally established.

Japan:

In the spring of 2004, bird flu occurred in Asada Farm in Tambo-CHO, Kyoto, but the farmer sent 200,000 chickens to the market. After the incident was exposed, Japan criticized it from top to bottom, and the police also intervened in the investigation according to law, and prepared to file a lawsuit for violating relevant laws.

Under various pressures, the farm closed down and the farmer and his wife committed suicide. Just leave a note that says "Sorry for the trouble".

In Japan, there are many special laws and regulations on food safety. Based on the Law on Standardization and Quality Labeling of Agricultural and Forestry Substances, Japan has established a relatively complete system of laws and regulations on agricultural product quality, including food hygiene, agricultural product quality (quality) and inputs (pesticides, veterinary drugs, feed additives, etc.). ), animal epidemic prevention and plant protection.
