When bread expires, the cashier knows

"Sorry, the bread you bought has expired. Please go to the bread counter to purchase another product." On July 22, when the woman who lives in Jiangbei District settled at Century Lianhua Hongzhuang South Road, the cashier reminded her.

Carefully read the label, it really has passed the shelf life. It turns out that this bread uses a new type of bar code, which has the function of reminding whether it is out of date.

In early July, Ningbo began implementing the “Management Measures for the Circulation of Bulk Foods in Ningbo (Trial)” and the “Construction Opinions on the Production and Sale of Food at the Supermarkets in Ningbo City (Trial)”. Each major supermarket supervised the bulk and on-site production and sale of foods. The management of production date marking, shelf placement, and publicity labels are more rigorous.

When bread expires, the cashier knows

According to the person in charge of Century Lianhua Supermarket, the bar code starts with 291, a total of 18, which contains the shelf life information of the product. If the product has expired, a bar code will be displayed on the cash register. At present, the bar code has been applied. In the bread and food products that are distributed to the head office and foods that are close to the time of the guarantee, they have managed to stay in the last pass and to prevent the expiration of expired foods.

The reporter learned from the Jiangbei Administration of Industry and Commerce that the implementation of this new type of bar code is mainly to compensate for the regulatory blind spot, prevent human errors from causing expired products to flow out of the supermarket, and to protect the consumer's food safety as much as possible. Currently, it is planning to promote the bar code. To the entire area business use.

New regulations regulate bulk and homemade food markets

Yesterday, the reporter found at the Wal-Mart Supermarket Homemade Pastry Counter at Huancheng West Road that the small and obscure labels affixed to the counter were removed and replaced by new publicity labels with detailed contents, formats, and sizes.

The labeling contains the details of the food name, ingredients, production date, shelf life, storage conditions and food methods, name of the manufacturing and selling company, and telephone.

At the bulk biscuit counter, all the biscuits are neatly arranged in a "glass house" with a big sign on it, which shows the production date of the counter food.

Starting this month, Ningbo has implemented the "Management Measures for the Distribution of Bulk Foods in Circulation in Ningbo (Trial)" and the "Management Opinions for the Production and Sale of Food at the Supermarket in Ningbo City (Trial)" to supervise bulk food and on-site production and sales of foods in supermarkets. The production date has strict regulations, requiring that the Supermarket not replace it with “the same day” or “the same day”.

At the same time, the operators are required to distribute the bulk foods of different production dates in different regions. For example, to mix and sell different “birthday” foods, the earliest production date and the warranty period must be marked on the public sign.

In order to allow consumers to understand the situation of bulk and homemade foods at a glance, the city has unified the public signs, including the "bulk food publicity card", "on-site production and sale of food publicity card", "bulk food weighing publicity card."
