Legislators act over food safety
Print Edition
LOCAL legislators conducted sudden inspections last night on restaurants and supermarkets to check whether the city’s new food safety regulation has been properly implemented.
A downtown Carrefour supermarket in Changning District was found to have failed to store its cooked food products under proper temperatures.
Dozens of cooked duck, beef and chicken dishes were stored at over 20 degrees Celsius, while the stipulated temperature is below 10 degrees, said Xu Li, a local lawmaker.
Law enforcement officers then ordered the management of the supermarket in the Longemont Shopping Mall near the Zhongshan Park to destroy all cooked food products immediately.
Legislators also found the Changning outlet of Xibei Restaurant, a traditional northwestern cuisine restaurant, could not prove how its cooked oil was treated.
According to stipulation, restaurants must handle the cooked oil to qualified treatment companies and keep a record of both oil imports and outputs, said Qin Lie, an officer with the law enforcement team of the city's urban management authority.
The stipulation aims to prevent the cooked oil being sold illegally to small food stores and being reused, he added.
Qin ordered the manager of the restaurant to explain the record to the authority within a week.
“The legislators will carry out the sudden inspections regularly to try to find food safety concerns,” said Chen Kehong, a senior lawmaker with the Shanghai People’s Congress, or the legislative body.
The standing committee of the congress approved the city's new food safety regulations in January, and they took effect from March 20.
