Frozen Fruits and Vegetables Production Management Standards Introduced: Experts: Enhance Food Safety

According to the Voice of Economy "CCTV Financial Review" reported that yesterday was the World Standards Day. The theme of this year's World Standards Day is "standards create a level playing field". On this special day, we also attracted more than 30 new national standards. 33 national standards were approved and released by the State General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) and the National Standards Commission (NSC) on October 10th, covering a wide range of areas such as health and safety, ecological environment, economic development, and social management.

Among these standards, there is a standard that is closely related to the daily life of our people that deserves our attention, which is the "Frozen Fruits and Frozen Vegetables Production and Management Code".

Fruits and vegetables are seasonal products, from planting, picking, packaging and then to the consumer's table, need to go through multiple links, long time storage and transportation, at room temperature, easy to deteriorate, discoloration, odor or even rot, it is easy to cause the loss of nutrients, inedible, resulting in a huge waste, according to statistics, China's fruits and vegetables in the circulation of loss rate of about 20%. At the same time due to fresh fruits and vegetables are not easy to save, can not meet the special geographical and special places practitioners on the consumption of fruit and vegetable products demand. Vigorously develop quick-freezing processing products of fruits and vegetables, and improve the quick-freezing processing technology of fruits and vegetables is an important means to solve the above problems. The introduction of this new standard can reduce the loss of fruits and vegetables during transportation, meet the diversified nutritional needs of consumers, and at the same time substantially increase the added value of these agricultural products.
