Meat Food Standard System Helps the Sustainable Development of the Food Industry

In order to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the meat food industry, “standard internationalization” provides new ideas for solving the industry standard short board. Perfecting and improving the meat food standard system is a necessary guarantee for promoting the healthy and sustainable development of China's meat food industry, and it is also the only way for China's meat food industry to rank among the top in the world.

China's meat consumption has grown rapidly. According to relevant data from the China Meat Association, in the past 20 years, China’s per capita meat consumption has increased from 35 kg per year to more than 60 kg, of which pork consumption is 2.5 times the world average. According to relevant data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the OECD, China is expected to surpass the European Union and become the region with the highest per capita pork consumption in the next decade.

With the rapid growth of meat consumption, China's meat industry technology has gradually increased, including slaughter and processing technology, meat processing technology and meat quality and safety control and traceability technologies have greatly improved. The improvement of meat quality and safety control and traceability technology has provided guarantees for China's meat food safety and has also become a key factor affecting the international competitiveness of China's food industry.

Nowadays, China still regards meat food safety as the research focus, and has obtained a large number of scientific and technological achievements in fresh-keeping technology, detection technology and traceability systems. For example, by establishing a “source-to-table” food supply chain information traceability system, meat products can be realized. Effective supervision of all aspects of the entire process.

In fact, since the 90s of last century has been a period of new development in China's meat products, with the evolution of the management system of the meat industry entering a new stage, China's meat science and technology and standardization work is facing new challenges. Including in the production, epidemic prevention and control and cross-regional transmission of high risk; in terms of cost, environmental governance, storage and transportation costs remain high; in terms of consumption, higher requirements for the freshness of meat products, regional consumption habits and personality There are significant differences in the demand for diversification and diversification. According to industry analysts, whether the above issues can be properly resolved will become the key to the healthy development of China's meat industry in the future.
