This newspaper (reporter Yang Xiaojing).During the two sessions of the National People's Congress, Leng Youbin, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Feihe Dairy, suggested that the development of "functional label food" should be boosted by clear classification, pilots, and strengthening industry-university-research cooperation, so as to better meet the needs of the people for nutrition and accelerate the development of new quality productivity in the health industry.
Based on China's long-standing culture of "food and nutrition" and the health concept of medicine and food, the development of "functional identification food" is a necessary and feasible path. Leng Youbin said that providing nutritious food with healthy functions can better improve the health and well-being of the people, and at the same time, the development of "functional label food" can also drive the planting of ingredients and medicinal materials, thereby better helping the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside; And further expand the foreign development of food ingredients and medicinal materials, promote China's high value-added products in the field of health to "go global", and better help the high-quality construction of the "Belt and Road".
On the basis of industry investigation, Leng Youbin suggested that under the framework of the existing food categories, a new category of "functionally labeled food" should be added, and it should be clarified that "functionally labeled food" can claim functions, including describing the nutritional or medicinal ingredients contained in the food and labeling around its corresponding functions.
It should be noted that the development of 'functional identification food' still requires multi-party cooperation to open up the industry-university-research link. Leng Youbin said that this requires medical institutions, scientific research institutes, enterprises, etc. to jointly carry out scientific research, not only to focus on basic research to solve scientific research problems, but also to pay attention to the timely transformation of relevant scientific research results, and constantly strengthen the industry-university-research link, and jointly help the development and growth of "functional identification food".
Leng Youbin also proposed to carry out a pilot project in Heilongjiang Province to create a model of "functional identification food", so as to lay a good foundation for the follow-up promotion in the country. Heilongjiang Province has outstanding advantages in black soil, rich and high-quality resources of food and medicinal materials, such as corn, soybean, ginseng, wolfberry, fungus, eleuthero and other agricultural products, as well as blueberries, raspberries and other special fruits and vegetables. Leng Youbin said that 47 degrees north latitude is recognized as the "first milk source belt", and plant protein and animal protein are very rich. Protein is the "building block of life" and a key nutrient for improving human body functions and promoting health and longevity. Heilongjiang protein is rich in resources, and it is also convenient for the research and development of the two proteins, which can better meet people's nutritional needs.
