【XWBOO Technical Article】Recently, Spain informed the country's exports of peanuts, almonds and other dried fruit packaging detected metal foreign objects, failed dried fruit in addition to sales in Spain, but also sold to Andorra, Armenia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Morocco, Poland and Portugal.
Food safety problems such as foreign objects in food occur from time to time, both abroad and at home. Because companies do not detect foreign substances in food during production, some foreign substances are mixed into the product, which not only damages the rights of consumers and endangers food safety, but also affects the reputation of the company once it is exposed, in addition to the need to bear a large fine. And if it is similar to the Spanish dried fruit such as exports are detected foreign substances, but also damage the image of the country. It is true that with the upgrading of consumption, people's demand for healthy and nutritious leisure snacks, such as dried fruits, has increased. However, with the expansion of market demand, enterprises in pursuit of production efficiency and output, inevitably neglect food production, carelessness or production irregularities lead to foreign objects mixed in. So in the face of the frequent problem of foreign bodies in food, how do consumers need to guard food safety?
First is the need to solve the problem from the source of production, enterprises in the food processing process must be standardized production, the effective use of good foreign body detection equipment. The production of dried fruits will roughly go through, picking, cleaning, drying, grading, packaging, testing and other links. In fact, do a good job of raw material screening and subsequent detection work can largely avoid foreign objects mixed in. Dried fruit raw materials in the harvest to carry foreign matter, many companies have introduced a color sorter, through the use of photoelectric detection technology will be automatically screened out of the raw materials in the different color particles, so that foreign matter and poor quality raw materials have nothing to hide.
In addition to raw materials are easy to carry foreign objects, workers and processing machinery is also the main reason for food mixed with foreign objects. On the one hand, due to workers wearing irregularities lead to hair, clothing debris, jewelry and other foreign objects mixed into the food; on the other hand, the processing equipment due to long-term use of debris falling and mixed into the food. Based on these two situations, good product foreign body detection work is very necessary, foreign body detection link can be said to be a layer of insurance for food safety, timely elimination of substandard products to avoid its mix into the consumer market. x-ray food foreign body detection machine is commonly used foreign body detection equipment, the working principle of the equipment is the use of x-ray penetrating ability, the food whether bone, plastic, glass, ceramic, stone and other hard Foreign objects, or all kinds of metal foreign objects can be detected with high sensitivity and stability to help producers effectively improve the quality of finished products.
Secondly, the main body of market supervision also needs to play the main responsibility to protect the food safety of consumers. Food safety knows no borders, and the main body of supervision should constantly strengthen special inspections of food market safety, resolutely guard the bottom line of food safety, focusing on the quality of the food operated in each place, the channels of purchase, etc., and ordering the rectification of existing problematic enterprises, etc.
Food safety is no small matter, any enterprise and the country must guard the bottom line of food safety. The main body of food production in the food production process to regulate the operation should also do a good job of testing, using a variety of testing equipment. For export enterprises, they also need to strictly ensure the safety of the product, to avoid export risks and maintain a good image of the enterprise, or even the country.
