In today's increasing attention to food safety issues, organic vegetables have become a health guarantee in the eyes of many consumers because of their claimed advantages of no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, and pure naturalness. However, the latest episode of "Focus Interview" on the show "Organic Vegetables Have a Mystery" has raised deep doubts about this food, which was originally considered a health guarantee.
In the program, the reporter secretly visited an organic vegetable planting base and found that not all the so-called organic vegetables came from the base. After buying organic vegetables randomly in the supermarket, the reporter touched all the way according to the origin marked on the organic certificate, but found that the eight greenhouses in the base could not find the organic vegetables sold in the supermarket.
In order to explore the truth, the reporter went to the company's location dozens of kilometers away from the planting base. There, they saw the workshop busily packing vegetables, and boxes of organic vegetables were being prepared to be sent to supermarkets in Beijing. The reporter cleverly slipped into the warehouse and photographed the *** on the outer packaging bag of vegetables
However, not all of the so-called organic vegetables packaged here come from the official organic vegetable production area.
When the reporter asked the wholesaler if he had an agricultural product test certificate, the answer he got was shocking. Several wholesalers said they could provide proof of testing whenever a journalist needed it. As for the certificate of origin, they said that they filled it out by themselves, and the market management would stamp it for confirmation.
These findings begs the question: Can we still trust organic vegetables? Do we still dare to eat organic vegetables? In fact, these problems are not isolated incidents, but involve a crisis of confidence in the entire organic vegetable industry.
In the current food safety environment, consumers are paying more and more attention to food safety, and organic vegetables, as one of the representatives, have attracted much attention to distinguish between authenticity and fakeness.
First of all, we need to be clear that organic vegetables are not the same as no pesticides and no chemical fertilizers. Although they do not use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides in their production process, they do not completely exclude all chemicals. In addition, the production of organic vegetables requires strict certification to ensure their authenticity. However, some unscrupulous merchants sell organic vegetables by tampering with the origin and forging certificates.
Faced with this situation, as consumers, we need to be vigilant and learn to distinguish between real and fake organic vegetables.
First of all, we need to look at the certification mark of the product to make sure that it has been certified by an authoritative body.
Secondly, we need to pay attention to the certificate of origin and test report of the product to ensure that the quality and quality of the product are guaranteed.
At the same time, we can also look at the packaging and storage of the product to determine whether it meets the standards of organic vegetables.
* and relevant departments also need to strengthen supervision and strictly crack down on the production and sale of counterfeit and shoddy products.
Raising public awareness of food safety is also essential. Only by letting more people know how to distinguish the authenticity of organic vegetables can we jointly maintain the fairness and justice of the food market.
The advantages of organic vegetables as a healthy food are obvious. However, when it comes to choosing and consuming organic vegetables, we need to be vigilant to ensure their authenticity and quality. Only in this way can we truly enjoy the health and deliciousness that organic vegetables bring.
