Ning Gaoning: Enterprises should regard food safety as a moral bottom line

Chairman of COFCO Ning Gaoning addressed the 3rd China Food Safety Forum: “Food companies should regard food safety as the bottom line of ethics as a basic strategy for the survival of enterprises, and form a food safety culture that integrates into every production Linkage.” Chairman of the COFCO Group Ning Gaoning once again talked about “morality” after he relayed the second Food Safety Forum at the “National Food Safety Week Promotion Ceremony and the Third China Food Safety Forum” speech.

Earlier this year, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council spoke during an exchange with netizens. “I want to say something to real estate developers. Your moral blood should also flow on you!” By contrast, the relationship between food safety and the moral bottom line Closer.

As the largest grain and oil production enterprise in China, the food safety model explored by COFCO is to use the industry chain theory as a means of exploration. Ning Gaoning believes that “food production companies as the first person responsible for food safety should play a crucial role in safeguarding food safety.”

In his speech, Ning Gaoning described in detail the “chain theory of the industry” for people to eat better and safer foods. In 2010, COFCO has put forward a strategy to create a complete industrial chain.

Ning Gaoning said that analyzing food safety issues and removing man-made damages are due to the following reasons: First, dispersion; second, the production process and supervision are relatively extensive, and food safety control standards and standards are not well implemented. The third is weak product export management, the company pays attention to the factory inspection, neglect of product release and other aspects of management; the fourth is training and education, goal responsibility and traceability system is not in place. Establishing the food industry chain system is an inevitable way for the development of the company. In the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, we must coordinate and take food safety as an important responsibility. We must implement food safety in every aspect. Every link of the industry chain should be done in accordance with the requirements of food safety. Every link must be qualified. The product is never entered into the next link.

According to Ning Gaoning, each enterprise in the industrial chain must form a risk control plan according to the modern food safety enterprise system and form a seamless connection from the field to the dining table.
