The use of "fresh lamps" will be prohibited, and new quality and safety regulations for the sale of edible agricultural products in the market will be announced

2023-08-08

Fresh vegetables under the lights of supermarkets and vegetable markets are found to have a "color difference" when they are bought home; Looking at the brightly colored and appetizing fresh meat, the lights in the food market have changed... Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation announced the "Quality and Safety Supervision and Management Measures for the Sales of Edible Agricultural Products in the Market", which provides a clear response to the issue of such "fresh lights" misleading consumers: when selling fresh edible agricultural products, lighting and other facilities that significantly alter the true color and sensory properties of edible agricultural products are not allowed to be used, Misleading consumers' sensory perception of products. In the store, the operator uses special lighting fixtures to adjust the lighting color or add a bright red lampshade to the light source, making the fresh agricultural products sold look bright and more beautiful. This type of lamp specifically designed to enhance the color and brightness of fresh agricultural products is vividly referred to as a "fresh lamp". Every time I go to a meat stall in a vegetable market to buy meat, I put on a red light and match it with a cold white light. It looks quite fresh, but when I buy it home, I find that the color seems to have changed. "Aunt Zhang, who lives in Hepingli, Beijing, said," When I buy meat now, I have to pick it up and distinguish the color carefully under normal lighting. "Many consumers said that the red light commonly seen in fresh meat stalls, the white and green light commonly seen in vegetable and fruit stalls, It will affect consumers' judgment and increase the difficulty of selecting and purchasing. Although some consumers may feel deceived by the use of "fresh lamps," due to previous laws and regulations that did not prohibit the use of "fresh lamps," they often have to let it go. In addition, not only do businesses not take this seriously, but even some local market regulatory authorities believe that the key to determining whether to deceive consumers is whether the products sold by businesses are qualified or not. If the product quality is qualified and only uses "fresh lamps" as a marketing tool, this situation is not illegal or illegal. From farmland to dining tables, the quality and safety of edible agricultural products are closely related to public health and life safety. In recent years, the Implementation Regulations of the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and the Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Law of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the "Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Law") have been successively revised, making new provisions on food safety and agricultural product quality and safety. In particular, the newly revised Law on the Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products proposes the establishment and implementation of a system of agricultural product commitment and compliance certificates, which urgently needs to clarify the corresponding connection requirements from the sales link of the edible agricultural product market. At the same time, new models have emerged in the sales of edible agricultural products in the market, and the issue of existing regulatory measures and measures not being in line with industry development requirements and regulatory needs is becoming increasingly apparent. It is necessary to revise the measures in a timely manner, "said the relevant person in charge of the State Administration for Market Regulation. The ban on "fresh lamps" has become a prominent highlight of this revision of the measures. The method increases the requirements for the installation and use of lighting and other facilities in sales venues, clearly stating that "lighting and other facilities that significantly alter the true color and sensory properties of edible agricultural products shall not be used to mislead consumers' sensory perception of the product". The prohibition of "fresh lamps" is not only an important legal correction, but also a necessary institutional blockage. In addition, the measures also strengthen the food safety responsibilities of market initiators and sellers, and stipulate that market initiators fulfill management obligations such as registration, filing, signing agreements, and inspection of entry sellers
