Incident Report: Control Failure in Food and Food Additives

On September 11, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning the purchase of food products and food additives. The issue arose from a failure to adequately check the necessary licenses and relevant supporting documents during the procurement process. This oversight poses potential risks to consumers, as it undermines the regulatory framework designed to ensure the safety and quality of food items.

The incident was traced back to the origin of the products, which were sourced from China. The lack of proper documentation raises concerns about the safety standards adhered to during production and distribution. Without thorough verification of licenses, there is an increased risk of contamination or the presence of unapproved substances in food products and additives.

The State Administration for Market Regulation has highlighted the importance of stringent control measures in the food supply chain. It is crucial for all stakeholders, including suppliers and retailers, to implement robust verification processes to ensure that all food items meet safety regulations and standards.

Consumers are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious food products or additives that may not have the appropriate documentation. Ensuring food safety is a collective responsibility that requires diligence from all parties involved in the food industry.
