Huang Zhen, deputy director of the Guangxi Market Supervision Bureau, introduced that in order to effectively prevent and control the risk of imported epidemics, Guangxi has strengthened “foreign import prevention” measures. Since the beginning of this year, various cold storages have been inspected 41,600 times, and high-risk countries such as India, Brazil, and Southeast Asia have been checked. Imported 245.39 tons of cold chain food transferred to Guangxi, investigated 95 cases and fined 1.25 million yuan. The 56 centralized supervision warehouses for imported cold-chain food in Guangxi have been put into operation, effectively preventing imported cold-chain food from unknown sources, without nucleic acid testing and preventive elimination, from entering the market for sale.
At the same time, Guangxi has proceeded in an orderly manner with disinfection and spot inspections of imported high-risk non-cold-chain container cargoes, accumulatively investigated 2005 production and operation enterprises using imported high-risk non-cold-chain container cargoes, and inspected 350 batches of imported high-risk non-cold-chain container cargoes, including The 90 batches were unable to provide a disinfection certificate, and the company has been required to stop using it immediately and report to the local epidemic prevention and control headquarters for testing and disinfection in accordance with regulations.
In addition, Guangxi has vigorously promoted vaccination work. Currently, there are 22,400 employees in the Guangxi market supervision system, and 20,400 have been “accepted”.
Huang Zhen said that in the future, Guangxi will further strengthen the prevention and control of imported cold-chain foods, focusing on imported cold-chain food producers, operators of centralized trading markets, and third-party cold storage. It is forbidden to mix imported cold-chain foods with other foods. Store and sell imported cold chain foods that do not have the “three certificates and one code” on the market.
Guangxi will further strengthen emergency response. Once the nucleic acid test of imported cold chain food is positive, it will immediately seal up the corresponding places and foods involved in the epidemic, check the number of food batches, source and destination, and carry out sampling and testing at the same time. For cold chain food production and operation units that have not strictly fulfilled the main responsibility for epidemic prevention and control, they shall be ordered to suspend business for rectification; for the storage, production, and sales of cold chain food from unknown sources, investigations shall be filed in accordance with the law.
