Wuhan launched food safety operations in multiple districts to ensure the safety of citizens' dining tables

Recently, many urban areas in Wuhan have actively carried out food safety-related work, and made every effort to ensure the "safety on the tip of the tongue" of the citizens through random inspections, inspections and other actions. In accordance with the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, the Hanyang District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau organized testing agencies to conduct food safety sampling inspections of production and operation enterprises in its jurisdiction. This sampling inspection covered 26 types of food, including biscuits, catering food, tea and related products, fried food and nut products, with a total of 250 batches. After testing, 247 batches were qualified and 3 batches were unqualified. For the unqualified products found in the sampling inspection, if it involves the production and operation enterprises in the district, the Hanyang District Market Supervision Bureau has started the verification and disposal work in a timely manner in accordance with relevant regulations, and launched investigation and handling according to law. Previously, in the first phase of the 2025 sampling inspection in Hanyang District, a total of 217 batches of 17 types of food were tested, of which 196 batches were qualified and 21 batches were unqualified. The Caidian District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau has also continued to make efforts. Recently, it has announced a number of notices on the verification and disposal of unqualified food. Through a series of actions, it has strengthened the supervision and governance of food safety issues to ensure that the problem food is properly handled, and to ensure the dietary safety of residents from the source. In addition, the Xinzhou District Market Supervision and Administration Bureau completed the invite tenders work of the Xinzhou District Food Safety Supervision Sampling Inspection Project on May 16, 2025. The project is divided into 5 packages, which are won the bidding by Hubei Acre Inspection and Testing Co., Ltd., Wuhan Shangma Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Wuhan Pinni Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei Jieyuan Testing Co., Ltd., and Huanggang Dabie Mountain Testing and Certification Co., Ltd. Each winning the bidding company will complete the sampling inspection of food safety supervision in the corresponding area within the specified time according to the requirements, and the service standards must comply with the relevant national, provincial, local and industry norms. During the market inspection, the law enforcement officers of Qiaokou District Market Supervision Bureau found many problems when inspecting a Luwei store according to clues. The store's business license has expired, the production staff have no health certificate, and the food production environment in the store is worrying. There are no three-proof facilities, no protection for ingredients, no packaging and random placement of raw materials, many oil stains on seasoning racks, and mixed storage of food processing tools and personal daily necessities. Law enforcement officers immediately filed an investigation into the Luwei store's suspected violation of the Food Safety Law. At present, the merchant has closed down. At the same time, when the Wuhan Xingang Customs inspected a ticket of imported wine, it found that some outer packaging cartons were damaged and wet, a large number of wine bottle corks fell off, wine leaks, and there were different degrees of corruption and deterioration, involving 9504 bottles of substandard products. According to the "Measures of the People's Republic of China for the Administration of Import and Export Food Safety", if the imported food involves unqualified safety, health and environmental protection items, the customs will order the food importer to destroy or return it, and the batch of wine has been destroyed and disposed of according to regulations. Food safety is related to the health and quality of life of citizens. The market supervision departments and customs in Wuhan urban areas are taking a series of measures such as strengthening random inspections, strict market inspections, and legal disposal of problematic foods to build a strong food safety defense line and protect the safety of citizens' tables. In the future, relevant departments will continue to increase supervision to ensure that food safety work is implemented.
