Chapter 637 Food and Drug Administration

At this point, the food storm caused by the self-inspection report of Xiyangyang Group has now fermented by "gutter oil" and "melamine", and has turned from a whirlpool to a huge wave that tortures the entire food industry. According to the script of the previous life, domestic food safety issues have always been a long-lasting problem, and big troubles always arise from time to time, but people are forgetful. Faced with the necessary food every day, people will gradually be forgotten after several months of lively accusations.

In the end, everyone's nerves turned into steel wires, and food problems became repeated performances. A certain food was found to have problems again. The food company quickly suffered a crisis and apologized and promised not to commit it again. But everyone could not go on a hunger strike, so they had to bite the bullet and use their belly as a chemical laboratory to continue eating various toxic substances to see if they could compete for character and physique. The sun will still rise tomorrow, and unscrupulous merchants will continue to make money in absent minds, and everyone will continue to eat "toxic".

But in this life, Yang Xing really didn't want to be a Shennong and taste hundreds of herbs. Before each meal, he had to find someone to test whether there were toxic substances. For himself and the next generation, he had to apply heavy medicine to make the food industry unbearable. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone was adding fuel to the fire. The central government changed its term at the end of the year. Many people at the upper level accused them of finding out the instructors behind the scenes and pursuing him of causing trouble and disrupting the great reform situation.

Before the "Melamine" incident, Yang Xing personally went to the capital and made a report to Cheng Canghai and Wen Rengui. He lie in front of them, and determined that the content of the report submitted by Xiyangyang Group to the UK should have been kept confidential, but someone leaked it. It was probably done by his competitors. But the content of the report was absolutely true. He was very surprised after reading it. He didn't want to be afraid of having a meal in the future, so he was fueling the fire behind the scenes. But now it has developed to the point where the whole nation is full of troops and to reveal the dark side of the entire food industry, he is not that capable.

His words were half true and half false, which could make these food problems that had occurred in several years in the past suddenly explode within a few months. Without the clues and arrangements he gave, the reporters were afraid that they would not have found the results for a long time. The subsequent rapid development of the situation was indeed not something he could control, but he could guess such a result. With the rise of new media such as the Internet, domestic public opinion, which had been strictly controlled in the past, had been pried open a big hole. All Yang Xing needed to do was to push the first Domino to fall.

The concepts such as "Weibo" and "social network" proposed by Yang Xing at the World Conference of Zhongxing Group at the end of last year have become a reality several years in advance. Now the functions of the overseas version of QQ have integrated free email, classmate records, multimedia sharing communities, dating websites, community games and other functions. Now, mobile navigation information, Weibo and other new gameplay are still being added. Compared with the "Facebook" in his previous life, it attracts users faster. Recently, it has just exceeded the 200 million user mark, which is the biggest achievement achieved by non-local websites in the United States.

Although many qq social functions cannot be used in China due to strict Internet control in China, in many domestic university campuses that led the technological trend, there are always people who can think of ways to bypass supervision, and by imitating information sharing methods such as student records, WeChat (sMS and Internet communication), Weibo, etc., they have become the favorite application of domestic college students.

Many of the shady stories of the food industry are revealed through these over-energy college students. The newly launched "Star Encyclopedia" and the "human search" combination of college students can be said to be a big killer. There is no shady story that can not be exposed under such searches. The company's thinking remains on a unified caliber. If necessary, send red envelopes to block the media's mouth, or even use power to force suppress it. The result is often contrary to their wishes, and their actions have attracted greater anger.

After the central government unified its understanding, it finally realized the huge harm of problematic food. After all, it is in power for the people. Now the problematic food has become a major harm to the people and has seriously affected social stability. The central government finally decided to take a heavy blow and sent several inspection teams to all parts of the country to thoroughly investigate food safety issues. However, the county and city leaders of several gutter oil black workshops were ordered to suspend their posts for inspection, and the manufacturers of melamine and counterfeit milk powder were wanted nationwide, the food storm finally turned into an anti-corruption drama.

It is not too late to make up for the loss of sheep. The central government discovered from this food storm that food safety problems have frequently occurred recently. The main reason is that management is "fragmented". The food industry has taken many disciplines in the supervision of the government, and many links are controlled by different departments. No one is willing to take responsibility after the incident. The joint actions between departments are widely disconnected, there is a lack of effective integration, and there is no long-term supervision mechanism. The implementation of rules and regulations is insufficient, and the punishment for food safety is too light, resulting in low illegal costs. Many practitioners have no bottom line in the industry and have repeatedly violated the law and committed crimes without serious punishment.

For example, to prevent diseases from entering from the mouth, food testing is the top priority. However, there are currently as many as 1 million people engaged in food safety supervision in the country, but inspection and testing institutions are divided into sections. On the one hand, scientific research funds are obviously insufficient and the quality of inspection personnel is uneven. On the other hand, management resources are repetitively built, and there are different standards between the various decentralized testing systems, and different methods and instruments are used, resulting in different monitoring results, which makes the seriousness, objectivity, scientificity and impartiality of the testing questioned.

This not only made the company at a loss, but also seriously shaking the confidence of consumers. After the food problem broke out, many consumers sent the problematic food to local testing institutions for testing at their own expense. However, due to the lack of certification from official institutions, there are often situations of different opinions. Xiyangyang Group Testing Laboratory was regarded as a rare institution that can maintain fairness in the food turmoil, and accepted a large number of requests for testing across the country.

Therefore, some people proposed to gather the technical forces scattered in all parts of the country, establish a food inspection and testing center, uniformly layout the supervision and inspection outlets, expand the testing coverage as soon as possible, and improve the testing level. It is also necessary to combine food and drug testing and supervision into one, learn from the experience of the internationally leading US Food and Drug Administration, and establish China's own Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).

However, with the blow of the anti-corruption storm, this idea was first hit. People found that the pharmaceutical industry, which has always been regarded as high standards, is not a pure land. Compared with the food industry under the supervision of the Ministry of Health, the state attaches greater importance to drugs. In 1998, the Drug Administration was established as a direct unit of the State Council. In recent years, it has vigorously promoted the integration of major domestic pharmaceutical factories into the international drug management quality system (gmp), implemented GMP certification, and established standardized management of the fittest.

However, the investigation found that this good thing turned out to be a crooked monk chanting scriptures and doing bad things with good intentions. When checking dairy products nationwide, I received a report that industrial gelatin was used in the processing of yogurt, and these industrial gelatin were made of old leather shoes, old leather jackets and other leather fertilizers treated with quicklime. It really sounds like it makes people feel vomiting. What's even more outrageous is that tanning agents containing chromium are used during industrial processing of leather, so the industrial gelatin made of this often exceeds the standard for heavy metal chromium.

As the investigation deepened, the investigators found that using industrial gelatin in yogurt was a little trouble. The main users of industrial gelatin produced by leather shoes in black dens are many pharmaceutical companies. Because the main ingredient of capsules used by many drugs is gelatin. Due to the huge number of drug capsules used, many drug capsules with heavy metal chromium exceeding the standard have entered the circulation process. After being eaten, they have become more sick.

After the news came out, the Chinese people were not in the mood to get angry, and the food companies collapsed. Is it not safer even the pharmaceutical industry that is considered relatively safe? Such jokes have begun to be popular in many places: "When you are sick, take out your leather shoes and lick it, and when you are hungry, take out your leather shoes and lick it." But the investigators felt cold in their hearts after hearing this joke, how could they laugh?

In the investigation of gutter oil, it was also found that many of the recycled gutter oils were not only made into cooking oil and soap, but also bought a large number of them by a 7-aca (7-aminocephalonate) company that produces antibiotic intermediates for pharmaceutical factories. The company sold the product to pharmaceutical factories almost all over the country. For a while, the saying that antibiotics were made of gutter oil was rushing. The industry supervisor of the Drug Administration had to frequently stand up for the company. The overwhelming explanations are just individual phenomena in the pharmaceutical industry, and the supervision of the Drug Administration is still effective and comprehensive.

But many people have also noticed that these scandals have been rumored to have been certified by GMP. It is reasonable that such a major mistake should not have occurred. They noticed the upper level of the Drug Administration with vigilant eyes. As a report letter was sent to the desk, the situation quickly became clear, and several senior officials, including the director of the Drug Administration, were arrested one after another.

The procuratorate’s indictment details that the director of the Drug Administration and others accepted bribes when promoting GMP certification and approving new drugs by pharmaceutical companies, and arbitrarily lowered the standards for approval of drugs, resulting in some pharmaceutical factories falsely reporting drug information, many of which were fake drugs! This time, the pharmaceutical industry has become a troubled brother and a brother in the food industry, and was dragged down together.

Faced with the double scandals in the food and drug industry, the national leaders were finally angry. The leadership made great determination to completely eliminate the chronic diseases of the food and drug industry, establish a new Food and Drug Administration, strengthen supervision, and give it greater power. With a thunderous attitude, we will investigate the major problems in the food and drug industry that are extremely angry in the recent public, and will never tolerate them. We will give the people an explanation.
