From food to medicine, homemade products should not risk "upgrading"

2022-04-14

In recent years, self-made food and drugs are popular on the Internet, from pickles, bacon and fermented bean curd to fruit wine, biscuits and pastries, to weight loss enzymes, tablet candy and traditional Chinese medicine tea. These products are labeled "pure natural", "no addition" and "handmade" by merchants, and are favored by many consumers. Recently, a media survey found that businesses without production and operation qualification and relevant labels have also been frequently exposed. The safety of homemade food and drugs should not be underestimated. (rule of law daily, April 13) The fruits and rice noodles produced by farmers and the specialties made by local methods are sold to other places through the e-commerce platform, which can directly connect the dining table in the city with the field, not only meet the diversified needs of consumers, but also increase farmers' income, so as to form a win-win situation. Now there are also practices such as planting a fruit tree and a vegetable field, and consumers are also allowed to observe the growth of fruits and vegetables online at any time. While obtaining fresh fruits and vegetables, consumers also learned a lot of planting knowledge. Homemade food sales bring a strong cultural atmosphere, which is naturally deeply loved by consumers. It can be said that opening up online sales channels for self-made agricultural and sideline products and other foods is an initiative in the information age and should be supported. However, there are strict regulations on the sale of self-made food. Once the red line of laws and regulations is exceeded, hidden dangers will be buried and chaos will arise. For example, some experts said that self-produced agricultural and sideline products, such as rice, noodles and fresh meat, should not be registered when they are sold on the Internet; As long as the agricultural and sideline products are processed, such as pickled, and then sold on the Internet, relevant licenses must be obtained. For example, self-made canned fruits, cakes, etc., online food operators must have food production license, food circulation license, food operation license and other qualification licenses for the production and operation of food. Once self-made food is on a scale, engaged in agents, and even formed a production line, it is likely that it will no longer be produced and sold by itself. If it is operated and managed according to its own production and sale, it is easy to cause trouble. Food cannot be easily self-made and sold, especially health products and drugs. Health care products and drugs are directly related to people's health and life. The production and sales need to have high qualification, and the production process is also very rigorous. They are neither suitable for production in small workshops, nor should they be produced and sold by themselves. This means that the penetration of self-made products from the field of food to the field of health products and drugs is a dangerous "upgrade" and will bring many risks to consumers. Moreover, self-made health care products and drugs are easy to add other drugs with unknown ingredients at will, such as sibutramine, a banned drug, Viagra, etc. to weight loss drugs. In this way, the so-called "pure natural" products eaten by consumers are likely to be drugs with unknown content and great side effects. As a result, the effects advertised by businesses may not necessarily appear, but toxic and side effects will certainly appear. The reason why self-made products "advance by an inch" is thought-provoking. Food, the frontier of self-made products, has not been firmly guarded, and the relevant chaos is easy to extend to the "foot pass" of health products and drugs. Draw a clearer red line for self-made products, use tighter supervision to ensure that the channels of self-produced and self sold products are not used by illegal acts, and let the e-commerce platform fulfill its internal supervision responsibilities and bear the responsibility of oversight. Establish rules and regulations at multiple levels and strengthen supervision, so as to return the sales of self-made products to the normal track, play a positive role and avoid additional confusion on the safety of food and drug administration.
