Can frozen food 2012 "thaw"?

Recalling 2011 major events:

Dyeing Shantou Incident: At the beginning of April 2011, the “Consumption Proposal” program pointed out that some Hualian supermarkets and Lianhua Supermarket’s staple food counters in Shanghai's Pudong District are selling three kinds of steamed bread produced by the same company, Gaozhuang Shantou and Corn. Shantou and black rice dumplings. The production dates of these dyed steamed breads are changed casually, and eating too much can cause harm to the human body.

Henan Clenbuterol Incident: Pig farms in Mengzhou, Henan Province and other places use banned animal drugs “lean meat extract” to feed live pigs, and toxic pork is flowing into Jiyuan Shuanghui Food Co., Ltd. After the incident was exposed by related media, it caused widespread concern. On March 25th, 2011, related reporters learned from the “Lean Culinary” incident of the State Council Joint Working Group that an important breakthrough has been made in the investigation of cases involving the “Clenbuterol” incident in Henan. Up to now, the source of the “Clenbuterol” incident has basically been identified. , And found 3 "Clenbuterol" manufacturing dens.

Mutton roll doping caused false incidents of Staphylococcus aureus: miss, Sanquan, Wanchai Pier and other brands of dumplings detected Staphylococcus aureus exceeded.

In 2011, industrial sales turned from heat to cold, which affected the development of the industry, not just S. aureus.

1. The cost of raw materials has risen: Since early 2011, the price of meat has risen too fast. "Pig Brother" climbed up like a cloud and reached its peak in June and July. It was worth more than twice as much as in the same period of previous years. The cost of raw materials has risen. As a frozen food company in the downstream, there is not only a lag in price increases, but also it is difficult to keep up with the pace of raw materials.

2. The increase in labor costs: There is also a growing shortage of labor. Coastal areas are short of people, and mainland enterprises are also short of people. In order to find and retain workers, food companies have to increase their treatment.

Looking into 2012:

China's frozen foods currently supply most of the retail of supermarkets, and related industries supporting the quick-freezing industry such as the flour processing industry, meat and poultry breeding, and slaughter and cold chain transportation are far behind the development of the frozen food industry. Affected by production technology, transportation and other conditions, the quality of frozen food products is still slightly insufficient. Due to the restriction of the industrial chain, the so-called "Staphylococcus aureus" can be achieved in the production process, but it is difficult to guarantee the transport flow and the terminal. The temperature of the cold chain, retail terminal cold storage, and freezer during the transportation process is not Standards may be generated. In the international market, more than 60% of frozen and frozen foods are used in the food and beverage industry, and this proportion in China is less than 5%. The huge market will trigger the rise of the frozen food business market, providing new business opportunities and space for the development of the frozen food industry. Therefore, the quick-freezing industry in China is facing the predicament of a poor competitive environment and different standards. To thawed the “bacterial door” for the quick-freezing industry, in addition to being in line with international standards from the testing standards, it is necessary to further clarify the formulation and implementation of the testing standards for every aspect of the industry chain of the frozen industry.
