The nation’s first food and drug safety evaluation center will be established first in Shanghai. Recently, the reporter learned from the Shanghai Food and Drug Inspection Institute that the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration is reporting to the Shanghai Municipal Government on the establishment of a food and drug safety evaluation center (hereinafter referred to as “evaluation center”) to provide technical support for food and drug safety early warning.

This technology platform for food safety has been supported by the Ministry of Health and the Shanghai Municipal Government. The State Food and Drug Administration stated that "Shanghai can take the first step in this area." Minister of Health Chen Hao also said that a similar professional institution at the national level will be established to provide risk assessment for national food and drug safety.

At present, there are drug evaluation centers without laboratories under the Ministry of Health. “And Shanghai will establish a food and drug evaluation center with a laboratory.” Wang Linda, director of the Shanghai Food and Drug Inspection Institute, told the “First Financial Daily”.

At present, Europe and the United States and other countries have corresponding food and drug evaluation centers. The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), created by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization in 1962, stipulated that food safety evaluations must first carry out “toxication experiments” and then hire independent experts to carry out risk assessment according to test reports. Affiliation, maintaining fairness." At present, the CAC, which aims to coordinate the food regulations and technical standards of all members, enjoys an international reputation.

“Evaluation centers should be established. At present, no one has done toxicological experiments in China at the moment, so there is no basis for evaluation. However, according to international practice, experiments and evaluations should be separated,” said Ji Heli, deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai Food Additives Industry Association.

It is understood that the Shanghai Food and Drug Inspection Institute, together with the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration, will report construction issues to the Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission next week. The technology of the evaluation center will be handled by the Shanghai Food and Drug Inspection Institute. “We have a certain foundation, such as the Adverse Drug Reaction Center. Next we will look at the scale of laboratory approval.” Wang Linda told the “First Financial Daily”.

According to Shanghai Food and Drug Inspection Institute, this evaluation center mainly performs pre-risk control and post-event risk management, “providing technical support for the government and the people’s risk early warning.” Currently, there is no such risk assessment center in China. Relying on foreign data, but the Chinese diet is different from foreign countries, so the deviation is large."

With regard to the melamine incident that currently has a lot of impact, people in the industry pointed out: “Because there is no such evaluation center, there is no definite data basis for the extent of harm to the human body.”

As an international metropolis, food safety in Shanghai has always been highly valued. In 2005, Shanghai Food and Drug Supervision took the lead in the country by the Food and Drug Administration to supervise the flow of circulation, "good results", and received the report of the investigation report of the "China Food Safety Management Model" by international organizations.

The food safety protection that strengthens legislation has also been increasingly supported by public opinion representatives. Recently, in an investigation organized by the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, the relevant NPC deputies called on Shanghai to issue local regulations as soon as possible to “enhance food safety legislation protection”.

Sun Yunshi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress, revealed that Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress is communicating with the government and “includes food safety as a key supervision area of ​​the NPC.”

According to industry sources, the National New Food Safety Law will be introduced in the near future. “Shanghai will also recommend to the government to submit a preliminary draft of local regulations by 2010.”
