Since 2010, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of finance have supported 58 pilot cities in the construction of meat and vegetable traceability system and 18 provinces and cities in the construction of traditional Chinese medicine traceability system, according to a regular press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce on August 2, china.net reported. At present, more than 15000 enterprises across the country have established a meat and vegetable traceability system, covering more than 320000 business households. A nationwide traceability network connecting urban and rural areas has been initially formed, which has played a positive role in promoting the innovation of food safety management mode and guarantee mode, and creating a safe consumption environment.

Shen Danyang said that according to the deployment of the State Council, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance recently decided to support Shanghai, Shandong Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and Xiamen in the construction and demonstration of important product traceability system.

This demonstration work mainly includes four aspects: first, promoting the upgrading of the traceability system for the circulation of Chinese medicinal materials in meat and vegetables. We should reform the key links of electronic settlement, promote the application of more advanced and applicable Traceability Technology, optimize the traceability process, and establish a long-term mechanism for the sustainable operation of the traceability system.

The second is to carry out the construction of characteristic product traceability system. Each pilot province and city selects one or two characteristic products with complete industrial chain but seriously affected by fake and shoddy products to carry out the construction of traceability system and create a green supply chain of characteristic products; We will encourage and support third-party certification bodies to establish a special certification system for traceability system, and explore the establishment of a market-oriented certification service system.

Third, carry out the construction of dairy traceability system. Build the whole process traceability system from dairy livestock breeding, raw milk purchase to dairy products production and sales; According to the overall pattern of local consumption, the construction of traceability system of imported milk powder was explored.

Fourth, build an important product traceability management platform. We should establish an authoritative and unified traceability database, improve the data sharing and exchange mechanism between governments, build the platform into a unified channel for cross link and cross department traceability information interconnection, open data resources to the society in an orderly manner, and explore the Value-added Utilization of traceability data.

Shen Danyang said that through the new demonstration of four provinces and cities, he hopes to build a whole process information traceability chain from production, circulation to consumption, promote the quality and risk management and control of the whole process of production and operation, truly realize that the source of products can be traced, the destination can be traced, and the responsibility can be investigated, create a focused consumption channel, and help the transformation and upgrading of consumption.
