Abstract:

The authors summarized the national food safety supervision sampling results for quick-frozen foods from 2016 to 2020, as well as the inspection status of 7 quick-frozen food manufacturing enterprises from 2018 to 2020, aiming to analyze the situation of quick-frozen food supervision sampling and identify the main food safety issues. A total of 208039 batches of quick-frozen food were sampled and inspected nationwide from 2016 to 2020, with a compliance rate of over 99.2%. The overall situation of quick-frozen food safety is stable, with the main issues identified during the inspection process being microbial contamination, the excessive use of additives beyond permissible limits, and elevated peroxide values. The regulatory authorities are advised to develop comprehensive sampling plans and ensure that production enterprises and testing organizations to fulfill their respective responsibilities, and to safeguard food safety together.
