On the morning of June 16, the health department and the market supervision department formed a joint inspection team to conduct a joint inspection of the frozen and refrigerated warehouse in Yuecheng District, focusing on the inspection of the catering service units that imported fresh frozen meat and aquatic products and used imported meat and aquatic products. Inspectors visited seafood wholesale markets such as Dongjie Farmers' Market, cold storages of large supermarkets such as Heng Chang Green Agricultural Products Refrigeration Company, Yonghui Supermarket and RT Mart Supermarket, and several restaurants in Yintai City, Di Chin, and comprehensively inspected raw material procurement, food processing and production, tableware cleaning and disinfection, and the health status of employees.
During the inspection, the inspectors conducted nucleic acid detection on employees who were in direct contact with imported fresh products. The imported aquatic products and frozen meat, including salmon and oysters, were detected on the spot, and environmental samples were collected from the chopping board, the tableware table, the inner surface of the refrigerator or cold storage where the above ingredients were stored, and the sewage, and a "carpet" search was carried out for the virus.
According to the inspection, the food and environmental samples of the first batch of 40 employees were negative, and no COVID-19 virus was found.
Is the salmon in Shaoxing market safe? This is a concern of many citizens. In the past two days, the city's market supervision system aimed at potential risks and targeted the large supermarkets and farmers' markets that operate salmon in the city. After investigation, the salmon sold in large supermarkets and farmers' markets in Shaoxing city were imported from Denmark, Norway, Chile, Faroe Islands and Australia. From Shanghai port and Guangzhou port, the inspection and quarantine certificate is complete. The main supply scope is Shaoxing area, not involving Beijing area.
Up to now, the city's market supervision system has dispatched 392 inspectors to inspect large and medium-sized supermarkets 135 and agricultural approval markets 135. The person in charge of relevant departments said that next, our city will continue to intensify supervision and spot checks, comprehensively investigate hidden dangers and strictly guard against the risk of COVID-19 epidemic. Focusing on fresh and frozen livestock and poultry meat and aquatic products, we will focus on checking the demand for certificates and tickets for edible agricultural products in markets and supermarkets, and the disinfection of direct contact with food tools, and urge market promoters and large supermarkets to implement prevention and control measures such as disinfection, ventilation and cleaning, implement the main responsibility of food safety, and conduct nucleic acid testing for key personnel in key areas.
