Abstract:
Objective To understand the current situation of imported food in China from 2018 to 2021, and to provide a basis for ensuring national food safety. Methods The data of imported food and imported food refused from entry inquired by the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China from 2018 to 2021 were collated and analyzed. Results The total amount of imported food increased year by year from 2018 to 2021, and the unqualified rates were 0.02‰, 0.11‰, 0.14‰ and 0.14‰, respectively. The origins with a high unqualified rate of food weight were mainly small developing countries. The food batches that were not allowed to enter the country were mostly from Japan, Taiwan and Vietnam, with a faster growth in India and Ecuador. The top five categories of foods with the highest weight unqualified rate were bee products, beverages, condiments, candy chocolate products and health food. The unqualified rate of aquatic products increased year by year. The top five categories of food batches refused from entry were aquatic products, beverages, meat and meat products, candy chocolate products, and condiments, among which aquatic products and their products had the fastest growth. The key reasons for refused entry of imported foods were unqualified labels, failure to provide certificates or qualified certification materials as required, abuse of food additives, and failure to obtain inspection and quarantine access, and microbial pollution. The detection of animal diseases had increased significantly in recent years. Conclusion At present, China's import food safety has been effectively guaranteed, but in the face of increasing risks and the COVID-19, it is still necessary to continue to strengthen the construction of import food safety management system, improve the participation of the public, and carry out international co-governance.
