Food and drug supervision upgrades handheld terminals to help achieve full traceability

In August, the State Council issued the "13th Five-Year National Science and Technology Innovation Plan" (hereinafter referred to as "Planning"), which clarified the overall thinking, development goals, main tasks and major measures of scientific and technological innovation during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period. Among them, food and drug safety content is included in the “13th Five-Year Plan”, focusing on serious problems such as serious pollution of food source, weak process safety control capability, and inadequate supervision and technical support capabilities, focusing on monitoring and testing, risk assessment, traceability warning, process control, and supervision. Research on key technologies for food safety protection such as emergency.

In the aspect of food and drug safety supervision, the whole industry chain traceability and control, authenticity identification and other technologies will become important technological breakthroughs. The "Regulations" emphasize strengthening research on key technologies for food safety protection, strengthening research on basic standards for food safety, and strengthening emerging Internet-based formats. Research on regulatory technology to build a quality and safety technology system for the entire industry chain of food and drug.

Food and drug supervision is inseparable from the traceability system. Handheld terminals, as the basic tools for data collection in the traceability system, will play an important role in food and drug supervision. If equipped with a handheld terminal, the supervisor can clearly see the source of raw materials, production links, warehousing and final sale of food and medicine, which will establish a trace system database of the entire industry chain, so that each link is clearly visible. Once a problem arises, it will be traceable at any time to find the source of the problem, which will be the direction of many parties working together.

Innovation-driven development is an important basis for ensuring food and drug safety. The food and drug supervision system must thoroughly implement the requirements set out in the “Planning”, vigorously promote the establishment of a food and drug safety science and technology innovation system, focus on improving food and drug safety and technological innovation capabilities, and actively create good Innovative ecological environment, in this process, handheld terminals will serve as a basic tool to help food and drug regulation.
