According to the data from the China Food Industry Association, the total output value of China's food industry exceeded 9 trillion yuan in 2012, second only to the petrochemical industry, and the output value of pesticides, fertilizers, feedstuffs, food additives and other products directly related to food safety exceeded. 1 trillion yuan. 
At present, there are more than 23,000 monitoring organizations at all levels of agricultural inspection and quarantine stations, disease control centers, product quality supervision and inspection stations (stations), import and export commodity inspection and quarantine bureaus, and various types of environmental monitoring stations. Food processing enterprises have reached more than 40 Wanjia. The potential market for analytical instruments in the field of food safety monitoring in China is more than 745 billion yuan, and the annual market capacity for testing consumables exceeds 50 billion yuan.
It is expected to be written into the grass-roots food safety supervision and law enforcement norms handbook
At present, all our supervision and inspections, including risk monitoring, basically use the method of legal inspection, and waste is relatively large. Under the condition of limited testing expenses and testing, the rapid inspection of the sample to increase the sampling technique is an effective means to control potential food safety risks.
However, there are still some problems in the current rapid inspection products on the market: Products are mixed; detection instruments and detection reagents do not have corresponding specifications and standards, and there is no strict access requirement for production companies, and no strict comparison verification is required before entering the market; There is no complete quality control system for testing items.
Regarding the above situation, the National Food and Drug Administration has commissioned some units to start some related work in the specification of fast inspection products. Some places, such as Jiangsu, have also planned to establish local standards for fast inspections. At present, Jiangsu Province has now established a public technical service center for food inspection. In addition, a fast food testing center has been established jointly by Nanjing University of Technology and the Jiangsu Provincial Food and Drug Administration and has invested nearly 20 million yuan. If the domestic testing equipment can form a breakthrough, its relatively strong cost-effective advantages can meet the market's demand for low-cost equipment, and it will inevitably put pressure on the prices of imported products.
The investment in R&D and industrialization of high-end equipment is very large, and the maturity of core technologies needs to move forward in the market. Taking the mass spectrometer as an example, the R&D of the mass spectrometer combines the basic disciplines of precision mechanics, technology, and physical chemistry, and is a product of highly cross-cutting disciplines. As a high-end precision instrument, the research and development of the mass spectrometer can only be achieved in the laboratory. It is still far from enough. The sensitivity, resolution, and other parameters of the mass spectrometer can maintain stable accuracy in various environments. Is it marketable? Key factors in industrialization.
Food testing equipment will usher in fast blowout phase
According to the requirements of the “12th Five-Year Plan†of the “National Food Safety Supervision Systemâ€, monitoring of food pollutants and harmful factors covers all county-level administrative regions. Monitoring sites have expanded from 344 in 2010 to 2870; the number of monitoring samples has grown from 124,000. It has been expanded to 2.87 million per year. Based on this calculation, the number of new outlets has reached 2,526. According to conservative estimates from securities companies, during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the investment in such testing instruments will be at least 20 billion yuan.
It is undeniable that there is still much room for development in China's food testing efforts, the setup of outlets, and the provision of equipment. From the industrial chain of food production, processing, and sale, the guarantee of food safety must set up testing procedures at all stages. To complete this work on the vast land of China, governments at all levels still have a great deal of space.
It can be expected that along with the gradual implementation of the spirit of the State Council meeting, the actions of food safety inspections will increase throughout the country. The system and methods of food safety supervision and inspection in the whole society will also be set up. The demand of the food safety inspection industry may also be as good as Food traceability industry has ushered in the stage of rapid blowout.
