The domestic media recently reported on a large-scale smuggling case of "radiation seafood". It is also shocking to hear the news, but also let the country eat the goods. Do you want to say goodbye to imported lobster and salmon? In fact, seafood can be safely eaten as long as it is purchased through regular businesses, scientifically selected and cooked. Next, let the national inspectors engaged in the inspection and quarantine of import and export edible aquatic products talk to everyone about eating seafood!

Q1. What is seafood?

Seafood, also known as seafood, refers to dishes made from aquatic animals or plants, including fish, shrimp and shellfish. Although marine organisms such as kelp are often used to make food, seafood is mainly based on aquatic products.

Q2. Can all aquatic products be imported?

The vast expanse of the sea has spawned a wide variety of aquatic products, so is it possible to import all kinds of aquatic products? The answer is of course No. In order to eat and eat goods, we can enjoy both happiness and peace of mind. At present, the AQSIQ implements an inspection and quarantine access system for imported aquatic products on the basis of risk assessment. Generally speaking, exporting countries, production and processing enterprises, and aquatic products are all three aspects. It must comply with China's relevant requirements for the prevention and control of animal and plant diseases and the maintenance of consumer health before it can be imported. Otherwise, it will not be discussed.

Q3. How to verify the correctness of imported aquatic products?

When each batch of aquatic products arrives at the port of entry, the owner or his agent shall report to the inspection and quarantine institution in accordance with relevant regulations. The inspection and quarantine institution shall inspect the "Introduction Animal and Plant Quarantine Permit" (variety with relevant requirements), the official inspection certificate issued by the country or region (original original), and the certificate of origin (original) and other documents.

If there is no valid inspection and quarantine certificate issued by the official organization of the exporting country or region, or if the quarantine examination and approval procedures are not handled according to law, the product is a “black household” with no legal status. The inspection and quarantine institution shall return the imported aquatic products according to the specific conditions. Or destroy processing.

Q4. How does the inspection and quarantine department implement inspection and quarantine on imported aquatic products?

In addition to checking the "identity", the port inspection and quarantine personnel of the Falun Dafa must implement the following on-site inspection and quarantine for the imported aquatic products:

1. Check whether the goods and certificates are in conformity; 2. Check whether the transportation vehicles meet the safety and security.

Health requirements; 3, check whether the packaging condition is damaged; 4, to check whether the sensory indicators of imported aquatic products meet the national food safety standards and relevant inspection and quarantine requirements.

If the on-site inspection and quarantine is qualified, the next step is to take samples in accordance with China's requirements for toxic and hazardous substances for aquatic products and monitoring requirements for epidemic diseases, and then send them to the laboratory for testing. After the inspection, the imported aquatic products can enter the sales or consumption chain.

The AQSIQ has clearly stipulated that the aquatic products of the 10 counties around Fukushima are prohibited from importing. . "Radiated seafood" wants to pass through the formal channels, and it is no different from heaven.

Q4. What should I pay attention to when choosing imported seafood?

The inspection and quarantine department reminds consumers that when purchasing imported seafood, they should choose a physical store or website with complete licenses and standardized operations, and do “three look”:

A look at the packaging. Whether the outer packaging is intact or not damaged, whether there is a Chinese label, whether the product is in the warranty period, no Chinese label is definitely not imported from the formal channel.

Second, look at the price. Regularly imported seafood products, from abroad through the whole process of cold chain transportation, need to pay a certain transportation, warehousing, customs clearance costs. After entering the domestic sales channel, it may also need layer-by-layer distribution, the sales chain is extended, the cost is superimposed, and the price is generally more expensive than the domestic similar seafood. For example, if you buy Argentine red shrimp at the price of domestic white shrimp, you should be careful.

Third, look at "qualification." Seafood imported through regular channels will pass a number of inspections by the inspection and quarantine department. After inspection and inspection, the goods will be inspected and quarantined for inspection. Consumers can request information such as domestic consignees and product names.

Q5. How to choose seafood?

Whether it is fresh or not is the most important one for tasting seafood. Otherwise, not only the seafood produced is poor in taste, but also easily cause allergic reactions such as allergies and stomach upset. How to buy fresh and high quality seafood?

Fish selection

The key to identifying whether a fish is fresh is to look at the fish's body surface and fish gills. First look at the fish eyes, the full and convex eye mask is clear and clear, fresh fish, no scars on the body surface, no unknown mucus. The fish gills are opened again and the fish gills of the fresh fish are bright red. If the surimi is whitish and has a lot of mucus, the fish is not fresh. Finally, the fish is squeezed, the fish will not sag and the immediate rebound will be fresh after extrusion, and the explanation that the fish sag is not rebound after extrusion is not fresh.

Shrimp

Fresh shrimp, body and abdomen are not black, the head and surface are not red, the head, breastplate and shrimp are connected. The live shrimps raised in the water, the faster and stronger the nets are, the more fresh and fresh they are when they use the nets. The shell of the shrimp is hard and shiny. The meat is quite tasty. The shell and muscle of the shrimp are very tight and are not easily peeled off by hand. If it is a long-term shrimp, it is easy to peel off by hand.

Crab

You can turn the crab over and turn it quickly to indicate that it is very healthy. If you can't turn it over, you can't show your vitality. In addition, the soft and hard shell of the top of the crab umbilical, with the thumb to squeeze, hard to indicate the fleshy hypertrophy. Shellfish

Look at the water first. If the water is clear, it will generally be fresher. Look at the head again, the head is so thick that the meat is thicker and chewy, and the small inside has less impurities. When selecting shellfish, each should be sure that there is a shellfish sticking out, and you can take it back with a hand touch. The shellfish is fresh. If the shell is not in the water, you can take a hand to shoot the shell, and the shell immediately closes to indicate that the shell is fresh.
