China Consumers Association releases consumption tips: Be cautious and avoid rushing to buy salt

On August 25th, according to the website of the China Consumers Association, the China Consumers Association released a consumption reminder on August 25th that on August 24th, the Japanese government ignored the strong questioning and opposition from the international community and unilaterally forced the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water, seriously infringing on the rights and interests of Chinese consumers. The China Consumers Association, on behalf of the vast number of Chinese consumers, strongly condemns and firmly opposes Japan's extremely selfish and irresponsible behavior.

On August 24th, in order to protect the health of Chinese consumers, the General Administration of Customs issued a notice on the comprehensive suspension of the import of Japanese aquatic products, deciding to suspend the import of aquatic products (including edible aquatic animals) originating from Japan from August 24th, 2023 (inclusive). On August 25th, the State Administration for Market Regulation announced that it will increase the supervision of aquatic product food safety and salt price, urge food producers and operators to strictly comply with food safety laws and regulations and relevant regulations on imported food, strengthen market sales of imported aquatic product food safety sampling and monitoring, and strictly investigate and punish any illegal activities found in accordance with the law. In response, the China Consumer Association urges food producers and operators to strictly comply with relevant regulations of relevant departments and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

The China Consumers Association reminds consumers to pay attention to the authoritative release of relevant national departments, especially pay attention to overseas purchasing channels, and ensure food safety; At the same time, we should also maintain rationality, avoid anxiety and panic, do not believe rumors, do not spread rumors, and do not blindly follow the trend and rush to buy consumer goods such as salt.

The China Consumers Association will continue to pay high attention to this incident, strengthen social supervision, and resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese consumers.
