Vol 3 Chapter 43: Customs disgusts you

In fact, there are also third-party independent evaluation agencies in the market. In order to sort the tested products, they serve as "buying guides" for consumers. Therefore, after the "test", various indicators are often given different weights to calculate a "score", and then "rank" according to this score.

And Chen Yizhe's not-for-profit organization focuses on security testing, which is actually simpler and more reliable than "ranking".

Because even in highly processed formula foods, there are often considerable differences between batches of the same product. A test can only represent "that batch of products" at most, but not "that product", let alone "that brand of product". In the random inspections conducted by government regulatory agencies, the results are only for the "batches that were sampled", not for the product or brand.

This "batch variation" between the same product can be far greater than the variation between the different brands tested. In the national standard, the allowable difference between the "actual content" and "nominal content" of nutrients is stipulated, and most indicators allow a deviation of 20%.

For example, if the protein content of a product is claimed to be 3 grams, it is normal for the actual content to exceed 2.4 grams. The reason why the national standard is so stipulated is because it is a realistic and feasible control target in actual production. If the allowable deviation is reduced (for example, it is reduced to 10%, which means that less than 2.6 grams is considered unqualified), it will lead to more unqualified products, thereby increasing production costs - the increase in production costs will ultimately depend on consumers. bear. And this cost increase, and not much practical significance. In other words, for two products with a nominal protein value of 3 grams, one test result is 2.5, the other is 3.1, the "ranking" result is obviously that the latter is much higher than the former, but in fact, it may be only the former Bad luck was drawn to a batch with a low content, and the latter was lucky, and the batch that was drawn was only high in content.

Based on this kind of "accidental" data, it is unfair to companies and of little value to consumers to make a "deterministic" ranking.

Some evaluations select the indicators that enterprises do not carry out quantitative control as the evaluation standard of "safety", and they also call it "a higher standard than the national standard". For example, pesticide residues, heavy metals, microorganisms, cleaning agent residues, etc., the national standard has set a "safety limit" - the meaning of the safety standard is "as long as the line is not crossed, it will not endanger health".

In actual production, enterprises are only controlled within the "safety line". Some companies will set stricter "corporate standards", but still control them to "within the standards", and the actual values ​​"within the line" are also high and low, with a huge difference.

For example, microorganisms, the same production line, the same product, and two adjacent batches of products, the total number of colonies in one batch is 5,000 and the other batch only contains 50, which is common in actual production. When the safety standard is 10,000, whether it is 5,000 or 50, all "qualified" will enter the market. For the "one-measurement ranking" test, which batch of products is drawn is entirely a matter of luck. To "rank" based on such test results, no matter how "independent" or "professional" the test process is, the results are not representative.

Even acknowledging these "unrepresentative data" does not make much sense to "rank". The ranking needs to calculate a "score", and it is necessary to "quantify" and "weight" the indicators of each test. On the one hand, these "quantifications" and "weightings" are inherently subjective; on the other hand, there may be more important factors that are not detected or considered.

Therefore, no matter how "independent" and "professional" they are, they cannot get a valuable "ranking".

The test report has come out, but how to let more people see the report is a difficult problem.

In this regard, the agency cooperates with portal websites such as Sina Netease online, and cooperates with Nanfang Daily offline. The laboratory will sample a large amount of food every two weeks, and any problems will be announced online and offline. .

This time, the results of the random inspection affected too many products. If they were published directly, it would cause panic among the public. Therefore, Chen Yizhe asked the staff of the agency to upload the results to the State Food and Drug Administration first, and the prophet would tell the other party. No matter what the administration side did, the laboratory would still publish the results of the report.

Chen Yizhe knew that he would offend many people in the country by establishing the food testing laboratory of this non-profit organization.

Chen Yizhe is not afraid of this, nor does he shy away from it. In his opinion, only innocent people dare to do things like sinners.

Chen Yizhe doesn't care how he looks at him, anyway, he thinks what he does is really beneficial to the society.

The test report was soon published on major online portals and offline newspapers, which immediately attracted public attention, because as early as May this year, the Ministry of Health banned the use of leather waste, hair and other non-food raw materials for production. Edible gelatin and hydrolyzed protein; it is forbidden to use non-food raw material gelatin and hydrolyzed protein as raw materials to produce and process dairy products, children's food and other foods~www.wuxiahere.com~ At this moment, there are still people committing crimes against the wind, and there are hundreds of domestic How could it not make the Chinese people angry? You must know that the impact of last year's low-quality milk powder incident has not dissipated.

However, revenge soon came.

Some decoding chips and flash memory of Xia Meng Electronics came from Hong Kong. At the end of the year, it seemed that they offended the people of Pengcheng Customs, and Xia Meng received a heavy punishment.

After Chen Yizhe learned about the matter, he felt that the matter was very small, so he let the company personnel solve it by themselves. Who knew that the company personnel had been smooth sailing for more than a year, and the entire domestic media was advocating Xiameng Electronics, so they also let their hearts expanded a lot.

As a result, the company's personnel who dealt with the matter went directly to the General Administration of Customs to file a complaint after communicating with the other party several times without results.

A few days later, the General Administration also sent people to investigate. After learning the real situation, they did not give Xia Meng an electronic punishment. It sounds like it's all right.

However, within a few days, when the trucks carrying Xiameng Electronics' chips entered the customs, each one was required to be inspected. There are not many Pengcheng Customs border ports at this time. Every morning, there are large trucks waiting for entry at the port, and the line is several kilometers. After the inspection, the trucks are re-queued.

Such a tossing today, and another tossing tomorrow, has caused the production progress of Hu Yifeng's foundry to be slowed down a lot.

After a week or two, Chen Yizhe, who realized that something was wrong, could only trouble Zhong Zian to ask about it. Only then did he realize that some people were doing small things behind their backs.

With the size of the Xia Meng Group at this time, as long as Xia Meng does not take the initiative to participate in political affairs, or makes a major mistake in business, if the other party wants to make trouble, they can only disgust Chen Yizhe like this.
