Editorial: The food security is crisis-ridden
Recently, the food security question has caused again internationally and panically. In Europe, the virus from Germany and Spain infects cucumber incident and already causes more than ten deaths, thousands of people infect, spread to a plurality of European countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Britain and Holland. In Asia, whom Taiwan raise mould, take the intersection of pharmaceutical and malicious the intersection of beverage and storm, grow in intensity, find out, up to 500 product have been polluted already so far, involve to nearly 200 manufacturers. Though these incidents all happen abroad, our country is not the food producing country, food and beverage that Singaporeans hung on to think it raw, the overwhelming majority should all depend on import, so food security problem outside of thousand li take place in these, it is in fact closely linked with our life security, have to enhance vigilance. The incident is as the example by these two cases of food security, though our country has not imported cucumbers from Germany, but have, import beverage from Taiwan, and one " whether the sun for write " The star fruit juice of the brand has already been detected and has been moulded pharmaceutical and melts to pollute. The food security is an international question, the reason is intricate, among them no doubt there are the natural force factors of plant nature and animal disease, also there is human factor appearing in commercialized food production. Natural force is the unresistable strength, up till now, it is unavoidable with human scientific and technological strength, cause global panic crazy the intersection of ox and disease before the several years, this time by enterorrhagia Europe " malicious cucumber " that Escherichia coli initiate The incident is all typical examples. Different from food security question caused by various germs or virus, the human factor appearing in food production actually can be avoided. Unfortunately, ignore consumer's physically and mentally healthy conduct of making profit because of the bad food trade company, this kind of human factor is a main reason of the food security incident that the world today emerges in an endless stream. The intersection of underground drainage and oil, clenobuterol hydrochloride, dye steamed bun,etc. of China, Malaysia evil mind pig put on flesh malicious pig that pharmaceutical fed while being agricultural, and what Taiwan exposed recently moulds and melts the pharmaceutical beverage, it is just the corner of the iceberg. As a food importer, Singapore must guarantee in the largest range all import food can be eaten safely, and agricultural grain and veterinarian round have been acted the important role checking on in the forefront all the time. After the poisonous cucumber incident of Europe happens, though our country has not imported cucumbers from the locality, whether but agricultural grain office or the fruit, to coming from leaf vegetables and melon and fruit of Germany and Spain, implement " arrest and check " Measure,if you can't check, find only when when it pollute vegetables and fruits,get permission to sell at business. In dealing with Taiwan beverage, the agricultural grain office is unambiguous definitely too. " the sun is in order to write " The star fruit juice is the agricultural grain office after the sample which inspects 26 beverages of the brand in Taiwan of 13 kinds by random samples, find, contain, mould, take pharmaceutical, order trade company stop imported product these immediately, order importers to stop selling and retrieving the products on the market at once at the same time. Besides measuring and importing the food strictly, the agricultural grain office pays close attention to the food quality problem produced here too. Last year, the agricultural grain office was measured the egg produced in local N N farm, found that contained " doxycycline " among them ( doxycycline) Antibiotic order by farm immediately in residue, to destroy by all question egg, assign the order of prohibiting selling at the same time, think the egg can be removed after totally according with the standard until measuring. As noted previously, the food security question involves natural force factor and human factor, impossible to defend under many circumstances, avoid, be unable to avoid. And once food security incident broke out, then it was consumer's confidence crisis that came. A kind of typical situation is, a brand of food, such as the milk power, go wrong, consumers will be to the other products of this brand, whether or other milk power on the market, full of distrusts. If this problem is dealt with improperly, may initiate socially and panically, even cause queries to government's public trust of people. On the contrary, if the government has high-level public trust, consumers will be after the authoritative government organ responsible for the food security question appears, resume confidence. In our country, the agricultural grain office that always wins a high reputation gives play to the role of this. Though compatriots may not believe in the manufacturer of the country of origin of food, the agricultural grain office announces the relevant food can be eaten safely after measuring strictly, compatriots will choose to believe the authorities, rest assured to consume. The one that must be pointed out is, though agricultural grain office checks on sternly, it is impossible to carry on overall and detailed detection to all food, some food security questions are after revealing in the country of origin, the agricultural grain office tracks. Taiwan of Israel moulds and turns pharmaceutical beverage incident into the example, it has actually already existed for 30 years, exposed recently. So, count for being physically and mentally healthy, perhaps the natural diet way is a better and safer choice.
