Recently, CCTV broadcasted a report on "organic vegetables have mysterious machines", and exposed a series of problems such as the use of chemical fertilizers in organic vegetables sold in a supermarket. In a short period of time, what kind of vegetables are considered organic vegetables has become a hot spot for the public. In addition to the high price, consumers should also know what knowledge of organic vegetables?
I want to be "organic" and have many conditions. "In fact, organic is not a new concept. The outside world may lack a correct understanding of organics." Li Xiangjun, founder of Shanghai Cuisine Group and the president of Shanghai Rongbang Group, said, "Because traditional agriculture and chemical agriculture will cause some problems in the production process, So organic agriculture came into being. "So, what is organic? It is understood that the "organic" of organic foods refers to the way of production, and the corresponding concept is not "inorganic food" but "traditional food" or "conventional food". "organic food" The general requirements include: the species has not been genetically modified, the production process must not use traditional pesticides, chemical fertilizers and other non-natural substances, the product processing process can not be treated by ionizing radiation, etc. It is also worth mentioning that the growth environment of organic vegetables and ordinary vegetables are also First of all, planting land must have a conversion period of two to three years. During this period, the land needs to be put to waste, and the pesticide and fertilizer in the soil should be slowly diluted and degraded until the conversion period is over and the soil testing is up to standard. In order to grow vegetables, authentic organic vegetables should be listed on the outer packaging, and there should be an “organic code” certificate issued by the relevant state agencies.
At the same time, the potential for organic cultivation is huge, but it is ridiculous. Compared with ordinary vegetables, the price of organic vegetables is more than ten times more expensive; it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish, and the organic vegetable market is also mixed; the phenomenon of “fake the real thing” is endless, and the industrial and commercial departments have issued huge fines for this chaos... ... These phenomena make consumers unable to make purchase decisions.
According to industry analysts, the vegetables that the citizens eat every day are actually graded. At present, in the country, most of the vegetables on the market are divided into four categories: ordinary vegetables, pollution-free vegetables, green vegetables, and organic vegetables. Among them, the most demanding is organic vegetables. But for consumers, whether the product is "organic" is difficult to judge with the naked eye, and it will inevitably be a concern when purchasing. The best way to identify organic vegetables is to look for the organic signs on the packaging. “Organic planting or breeding is a good certification standard. It has national mandatory standards, and production, transportation, processing, warehousing and sales are strictly regulated. Consumers can identify organic An ’ID card’ affixed on the food." Li Xiangjun introduced.
It is understood that consumers can log in to the "China Food and Agricultural Products Certification Information System", in the "Organic Code Inquiry" column, enter the "organic code" on the product held, or directly scan the QR code on the mark to query the organic product. Basic information of the certified product corresponding to the certification mark.
