Organic foods corrupted by greed
“有机食品”别有玄机

Besides high prices and exquisite packing, the 'organic food' labels are what make this sort of healthy food unique.

Besides high prices and exquisite packing, the "organic food" labels are what make this sort of healthy food unique.

Organic food has become increasingly more popular in the market. But along with the expansion of variety, the authentication process is also failing to improve, Legal Daily reported.

Besides high prices and exquisite packing, the "organic food" labels are what make this sort of healthy food unique. But in reality, most labels don't show a certification serial number as required by General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the watchdog agency; instead, a sticker that says "organic" would usually get by.

One egg peddler who did not sell organic eggs noted that most organic-labeled eggs in the market were not really "organic," and the stickers were available from a nearby photocopy shop.

Worse still, agencies that did not have the certification authority began to profit in the messy waters. They admit that money is the solution for all, with one agency saying "some 20,000-30,000 yuan, and several banquets will make the deal."

有机食品在市场的受欢迎程度越来越高。但据《法制日报》报道,有机食品种类的不断增加并没有使得认证程序不断完善。

除了高价和精美包装,“有机食品”字样的标签使得这种健康食品十分特别。但其实大多数认证标签都没有证书编号,违背了国家质检总局的要求。一般一张标有“有机食品”的贴纸就能蒙混过关。

一名卖鸡蛋的小贩说,他自己不卖有机鸡蛋,不过农贸市场里标有“有机”标签的鸡蛋都不是真的“有机”。那些标签在附近的一家复印店就可以买到。

更糟的是,一些本没有有机认证资质的机构也开始混水摸鱼。他们基本上都说钱可以解决一切问题,“交两三万元,吃两三顿饭,事情就解决了”。
