Setting up red and black lists for citizens to check whether their food is safe
Firstly, the Dongguan Food Safety Network has integrated information from 20 member units, "said Li Xiaowei, the person in charge of the Municipal Food Safety Office." In the future, information on departmental guidelines, laws and regulations, and the latest developments can be found online, and the information will be updated in a timely manner.
It is worth noting that the Dongguan Food Safety Network has specifically set up sections for "Red List" and "Black List".
Among them, the "red list" was opened, and the website published such as "edible agricultural products (000061, Guba) quality and safety demonstration sites", "national food integrity management enterprises", "Zongzi special sampling inspection qualified list", etc; In terms of blacklisting, companies or products that fail national and provincial inspections will be announced, such as the "List of Unqualified Rice Cadmium Content Sampling Inspections in Budi City of the Provincial Food Safety Office", the "List of Unqualified Special Sampling Inspections for 20 Types of Food Production Processes such as Blended Liquor in Guangdong Province", and the "Summary Table of Unqualified Food Quality Monitoring Products in Circulation Processes by the Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce in the Fourth Quarter of 2012".
Through the release of information on the red and black lists, citizens can timely grasp some reputable product information, as well as learn about some unqualified products, and have a clear understanding of food safety, "said Li Xiaowei. Next, citizens can also search for some sampling results of various food safety member units in Dongguan through the website to understand food safety information.
The website can provide expert consultation, complaints and reports
Interactive communication is an important feature of Dongguan Food Safety Network. The website has two sections, "Expert Online" and "Complaint and Suggestion", to meet the requirements of citizens for consultation and complaints.
The "Expert Online" column is mainly composed of a consulting team of 30 experts from the Municipal Food Safety Expert Committee, including Professor Tang Huanwen from Guangdong Medical College, to provide citizens with answers to all food related issues. Citizens can log in to the Dongguan Food Safety Network and click on "Expert Online". If they want to ask a question, they can then click on "I want to ask a question" and fill in their name, phone number or email according to the requirements. After obtaining the verification code, they can fill in the topic and content.
Citizens can designate any one of the 30 experts to answer their questions. If no one is designated, the website staff will collect and accept the questions, and assign them to professional experts for response. "Li Xiaowei said that since experts are not online 24 hours a day, they will collect questions and provide regular answers. Questioners can search online based on the acceptance number or topic.
In addition, the "Complaints and Suggestions" column is also very convenient for citizens. In the past, many citizens often didn't know where to file complaints after buying inferior or counterfeit food. Now, logging into the Dongguan Food Safety Network can solve the problem. Li Xiaowei said that after receiving relevant suggestions or complaints, website staff will forward them to relevant functional departments for verification and investigation based on the content. Citizens can check the reply content by letter number or mobile phone number, and can also score and evaluate the handling situation.
