CCTV News: According to the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation, in 2024, the State Administration for Market Regulation approved the issuance of a batch of national standard substances in the field of food safety, involving food and agricultural product quality testing and other aspects. Among them, there are 45 national first-level standard substances and 59 national second-level standard substances. The newly approved and release of national standard substances helps detect pesticides and veterinary drugs residues in food, pollution of toxic and harmful substances, nutritional components in food, and safety of genetically modified food.

Focus on detecting pesticide and veterinary drug residues in food. The newly approved and released standard substances for lecola solution in methanol and enrofloxacin and sulfadiazine residue analysis standard substances in beef powder can be used to detect the residual content of pesticides and veterinary drugs in food, determine whether the food complies with laws and regulations and relevant safety standards, and avoid the human body ingesting pesticides and veterinary drugs residues through food, which will harm health.

Focus on detecting toxic and harmful substances contamination in food. The newly approved standard substances for inorganic composition analysis of cadmium-contaminated rice flour help determine the content of heavy metals in food samples and evaluate the degree of heavy metal contamination in food. The newly approved and released standard substances for ochratoxin A solution can be used to detect microbial toxin content in foods and evaluate food safety and hygiene.

Focus on detecting nutrients in foods. The newly approved and released standard substances for inorganic component analysis of Liaoning rice flour and standard substances for elemental component analysis of kelp powder can be used to detect and analyze nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in food, which helps to evaluate the nutritional value and safety of food and helps people to balance the intake of nutrients.

Focus on detecting the safety of genetically modified foods. The newly approved and released GM papaya Huanong No. 1 genomic DNA standard substance and GM corn bar gene plasmid DNA standard substance can be used to detect the content of genetically modified ingredients in genetically modified foods, providing measurement standards for the genetically modified ingredients in foods to comply with laws and regulations and relevant safety standards, and further ensuring the safety and reliability of genetically modified foods.

The State Administration for Market Regulation will further strengthen the construction of national standard materials capacity in the field of food safety, standardize and strengthen the management and application of national standard materials, continuously meet the accuracy detection and analysis needs of food safety, and further ensure the safety and health of people.
