Ministry of Public Security： Detected more than 5,300 criminal cases such as illegal food addition in online celebrity.

CCTV News:On October 24, the State Council Office held a press conference on ensuring high-quality development with high-level security. Li Jiantao, director of the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that the public security organs have taken a series of crackdown and rectification measures in accordance with the law to resolutely control "table pollution" and protect the "safety on the tip of the tongue" of the masses.

First, persist in cracking down on the law and deepen the opening up of special crackdown and rectification. The Ministry of Public Security deployed public security organs across the country to carry out the "Kunlun 2023" special campaign in depth, focusing on the crimes of "two excesses and one non-violation" of food, that is, over-range and over-limit abuse of additives and illegal addition of toxic and harmful non-edible substances, and detected more than 5,300 criminal cases of illegal addition of food, abuse of "lean meat" and manufacturing and selling fake beef and mutton in online celebrity, and arrested more than 6,300 criminal suspects.

Second, persist in taking the initiative to attack and constantly improve the ability to fight crime. In view of the problem that food cases are hidden and difficult to find, relying on more than 500 public security food and drug quick inspection technical rooms built in various places, we have carried out active sampling inspection in the food field with frequent problems and found a number of problem clues in time. At present, the independent discovery rate of case clues has reached 60%. In view of the increase in online food crimes, we will strengthen online inspections, carry out cross-regional cluster strikes, and cut off a number of online crime chains. In view of the characteristics of many changes in the methods of illegally adding crimes, joint scientific research institutions have carried out technical breakthroughs and cooperated with relevant departments to introduce testing standards and methods to improve the quality and efficiency of the crackdown.

The third is to adhere to collaborative governance and help improve the comprehensive management level of food safety. Based on the duty of cracking down on crimes, we should cooperate with relevant departments to promote the transformation of food safety supervision from after-the-fact investigation to prior prevention. Establish a linkage mechanism with administrative departments, take the initiative to inform major food safety issues, and jointly carry out hidden dangers rectification. In-depth investigation and visit on "benefiting people and enterprises", listen carefully to the opinions and suggestions of enterprises and the masses, widely mobilize the masses to report food safety crimes, strengthen the publicity of typical cases, issue risk warnings in time, and create a good public opinion atmosphere.

At present, China’s food safety situation is generally stable and improving, but influenced by economic interests and other factors, food crimes are still prone to occur frequently, and the task of cracking down on food safety crimes is arduous and arduous. In the next step, the public security organs will thoroughly implement the "four strictest" requirements, focus on the people’s concerns about food safety, continue to crack down on food safety crimes with a "zero tolerance" attitude, help improve the level of food safety governance, and strive to make the people eat safer, more assured and healthier.
