The Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Quality and Safety of Food Production and Processing Enterprises stipulates that the food managed by the food quality and safety market access system must first obtain the food production license according to the prescribed procedures, and then the products must pass the inspection and be stamped (affixed) with the food market access mark. Food without market access signs shall not be sold. [Edit this paragraph] The time food quality and safety market access system will be implemented. Starting from 200 1, first of all, among the five categories of food such as rice, flour, oil, soy sauce and vinegar, starting from May 1 2003, all five categories of food that have not obtained the food production license and have not been printed (affixed) with the QS mark will not be allowed to be sold out of the factory. In the second half of 2003, it expanded to meat products, dairy products, beverages, condiments (sugar, monosodium glutamate), instant noodles, biscuits, canned foods, frozen drinks, quick-frozen rice-flour foods, puffed foods, etc. In the near future, the food quality and safety market access system will be implemented for all foods, including the rest 13 foods.
Consumers should buy food with QS logo when purchasing food that has been subject to the market access system for food quality and safety.
Since 2008, all foods must be labeled with QS.
For the market access of products, the general understanding is the extent to which the subject (producers and sellers of products) and object (products) of the market are allowed to enter the market. The food market access system, also known as the food quality and safety market access system, refers to the supervision system that allows producers with specified conditions to carry out production and business activities and allow food production and sales with specified conditions to ensure food quality and safety. Therefore, the implementation of food quality and safety market access system is a kind of government behavior and an administrative licensing system. The following is the classification of 28 kinds of food into the national food quality and safety market access system (QS system):

28, other foods [edit this paragraph] labor protection signs Everyone knows that there is a QS logo on food. When buying, you will carefully check whether there is this QS icon on the food packaging. However, we have noticed that this QS mark is also found on many labor protection articles, such as helmets, seat belts and safety shoes. However, some labor insurance products do not have this QS mark.
Are labor insurance products without QS mark unqualified?
Let's see what QS means first.
QS It consists of "quality and safety" prefix (QS) and "quality and safety" Chinese characters. The main color of the logo is blue, and the letters "Q" and "Quality and Safety" are blue; The letter "s" is white.
First: QS is not a certification mark, but a production license mark.
Second: the production license is not only for food, but also for others.
Special labor protection articles are marked with "QS". It shows that the manufacturer of this product has obtained the industrial product production license and the product has passed the factory inspection. The production license system for industrial products refers to the on-site inspection and product inspection by the competent department of production license for industrial products on the production enterprises of processed foods involving human health, products endangering personal and property safety, products involving financial safety and communication quality and safety, products ensuring labor safety, products affecting production safety and public safety, and other products required by laws and regulations to be subject to production license management, so as to confirm their ability of sustainable production.
QS food quality and safety market access system includes three specific systems.
First, the production license system is implemented for food production enterprises, and only those enterprises that have the production conditions to produce food with quality and safety are allowed to produce, otherwise they are not allowed to produce food. This ensures that enterprises can produce food that meets the quality and safety from the production conditions.
Second, the food produced by enterprises shall be subject to compulsory inspection system, and the food that has not been inspected or failed to pass the inspection shall not be sold out of the factory, and the production enterprises that do not have the self-inspection conditions shall be subject to mandatory inspection. This is conducive to ensuring product quality.
Third, the products subject to the production license system shall implement the market access mark system, and the QS mark shall be affixed or printed on the food that has passed the inspection, and the food without this mark shall not enter the market for sale. This is conducive to the identification and supervision of the masses and law enforcement departments.
