Major wet market goes digital
Print Edition
ONE of Shanghai’s biggest wet markets is going hi-tech, setting up a digital monitoring database to track information on agricultural products from farm-to-retailer for better food safety control.
Distribution of the products and pesticide residue testing results are expected to be included in the new database, according to the Shanghai Agricultural Product Central Wholesale Market.
“Our existing tracing system only covers pork now,” said the director of the market’s inspection center, Yang Jianping.
“And we aim to expand the coverage to more agricultural products like vegetables.”
The database will complement the inspection center which was set up in 2001 to tighten food safety control from the distribution end.
The center has also started to work with a third-party inspection company to introduce more advanced tests into the existing inspection system.
“Food which fails the tests will be sealed and blocked from the market,” Yang said.
“We will then inform local authorities and hand the products to them for further processing. If they want to trace samples back to the products’ original farms or producers, our system will help them to trace it.”
