Bottlenecks and Countermeasures for the development of food inspection and inspection organizations at the grass-roots level
Date：2018-06-26 Hits：3158
Food inspection and detection is an important means and technical support of food safety supervision, and a key link to ensure food safety. Guidelines on Strengthening the Construction of Food and Drug Inspection and Detection System (hereinafter referred to as "Guidelines") issued by the former State Administration of Food and Drug Supervision in January 2015 clearly strengthens the construction of grass-roots food inspection and detection system and integrates county-level food inspection and detection resources. The report on food safety law enforcement and inspection submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on 30 June 2016 pointed out that the ability of food inspection and detection was insufficient. It was suggested that local governments at all levels should fully integrate the resources of food inspection and detection, especially to strengthen the capacity-building of inspection and detection at the grass-roots level of cities and counties, realize the sharing of resources and prevent them. Building redundant project.
However, since the implementation of the Guiding Opinions, there are still many outstanding problems in the ability of food inspection and detection at the grass-roots level. Taking the operation of county-level food inspection and testing institutions in Jiangxi Province as an example, the author investigates the problems that plague the development of grass-roots food inspection and testing institutions.
Grassroots inspection is trapped
According to statistics, there are totally 241 county-level food inspection and testing institutions in Jiangxi Province, including 58 food inspection qualifications, which are subordinated to 40 county health and family planning departments (county disease control center), 10 agricultural departments (county agricultural product safety and quality inspection stations), 6 quality supervision departments (county product quality and safety inspection stations), and food and drug supervision. There are 1 departments (county food and Drug Administration) and 1 grain departments (county grain and oil quality inspection station).
After the institutional reform, in 100 counties (cities and districts) of Jiangxi Province, except Longnan, Ruijin, Anyuan, Gao'an, Wanzai, Leping, Fuliang, Xinfeng, Jinxian, Nancheng, Xiushui, Yongxiu and other 12 counties (cities) have integrated food inspection and testing resources, and basically have the ability of food inspection and testing. No other counties (cities) have established food inspection. Agencies, but relying on the third party to carry out food inspection work.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the basic food inspection and testing institutions are facing the following problems:
First, the integration of food inspection and testing institutions at the county level does not match the growing regulatory tasks. County-level food inspection and testing institutions in Jiangxi Province are mainly in CDC, but in recent years, many county CDC are reluctant to do food inspection and no longer retain qualifications, leading to the loss of full-time personnel and professionals. With the increase of food safety supervision and the increase of food inspection and testing tasks, this contradiction has become increasingly prominent.
The two is the setting up of multi heads and their respective construction, leading to the waste of testing resources. Inspection and testing have common characteristics and the hardware are basically the same, but because of different subordinates, all kinds of food inspection and testing institutions and laboratories coexist in the same region, resulting in repeated investment of funds and idle waste of inspection resources; at the same time, because the testing items are common items with low technical content, leading to the general inspection and testing capacity at the county level. At a low level.
Three, the lack of fast food testing equipment in villages and towns leads to backward supervision. Township is the key area of food safety supervision in rural areas. There are more than 280,000 small workshops, catering, grocery stores and vendors in Jiangxi Province. Most of them are distributed in villages and towns. Small, scattered, numerous and disorderly problems are prominent, and supervision is difficult. At present, in addition to routine supervision, administrative supervision and law enforcement in villages and towns mainly carries out special and centralized rectification according to the arrangement and deployment of superiors, or supervises and inspects according to the reports of the masses. The cost of law enforcement is high. Comparing with the Guiding Standards for Basic Equipments for Law Enforcement by National Food and Drug Regulatory Institutions (hereinafter referred to as Guiding Standards), each township should be equipped with 31 kinds of rapid testing equipment, but 885 towns in Jiangxi Province are equipped with a total of 2008 sets of rapid testing equipment, the equipment allocation rate is 7.3%, which is much lower than that of 32.1% in the central part of the country. Level. Because most villages and towns do not have fast food detection equipment and lack of technical support for law enforcement and supervision, many potential food safety hazards can not be timely investigated and easily lead to food safety incidents.
The four is the shortage of skilled personnel and the lack of testing funds. According to statistics, there are 587 staff members in various food inspection institutions at county level in Jiangxi Province, with an average of 6 in each county, including 336 professional technicians, 3 in each county, 63.11% of the total number of people with junior technical titles and 10.64% of the total number of food inspection professionals. The shortage of professionals has resulted in the gas chromatograph purchased by some inspection and testing institutions for nearly one million yuan. There are some problems, such as technical personnel can not keep up with the operation, equipment idle and so on. In terms of testing funds, local finance pays more attention to hardware investment and less to testing funds investment, which results in the normal operation of inspection and testing daily work. Moreover, due to the independent establishment of inspection and testing institutions by various functional departments, the original limited financial investment is scattered in an all-round way, and the problem of more monks and fewer porridges is prominent.
Break through bottlenecks and seek development
"Ldquo; 135-rdquo; National Food Safety Planning" clearly put forward, comprehensively promote the integration of county-level food safety inspection and testing resources. Therefore, it is suggested that the provincial government take into account population, area, quantity of food supervision, industrial scale, inspection demand and other factors comprehensively, integrate county-level agricultural, health and family planning, quality supervision and other related food safety inspection and testing resources, clarify the construction scale and construction standards, and carry out food inspection and testing institutions step by step. At the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, all counties in the province have set up food safety inspection and testing institutions to provide strong technical support for food supervision. At the same time, we should give full play to the role of third-party inspection and testing resources, explore ways of purchasing services by the government, organize universities, scientific research institutions, large-scale food production enterprises to use specialized laboratories and professional equipment to undertake food inspection and testing work, so as to maximize the utilization of existing food inspection resources.
"Guiding Standards" clearly defines the equipment standards of food and drug supervision departments in towns and villages equipped with food rapid detection equipment. Therefore, it is suggested that grass-roots food inspection rooms should be included in the scope of government food safety assessment, food inspection rooms should be built in three years, and food safety rapid detection system should be established to provide food safety for the masses. Knowledge of inspection services and food safety consultation.
Strengthening personnel training and improving the quality of the team is the foundation of food inspection and testing institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously strengthen the training of existing personnel, improve the inspection ability, ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results; introduce and employ high-level food inspection professionals, and strengthen the support of inspection and testing personnel. To establish and improve the funding guarantee mechanism for food inspection, local governments at all levels should incorporate food safety work into the important agenda and regional economic and social development plans, effectively implement supervision responsibilities, positions, personnel and means, and ensure that high-quality and high-standard samples of at least 4/1000 people per year for food inspection put forward by the state are completed.
