It's a duck, not a foreign object! The key to government credibility lies in using facts to speak for market regulation | attention | government
This time, it can be said to be a real duck. On July 17th, a student reported that during a training period at a vocational school in Guangzhou, they ate foreign objects made of rubber products in the cafeteria; The school responded that the foreign object was the eyeball membrane of a duck. This matter has sparked heated discussions. The Market Supervision Bureau of Zengcheng District, Guangzhou subsequently sent the foreign object samples sealed by the public security department to the Guangzhou Food Inspection Institute and the Guangzhou Quality Supervision and Testing Research Institute for testing. On July 19th, the Market Supervision Bureau of Zengcheng District issued a notice confirming that the relevant samples exclude the possibility of rubber products and disposable gloves, and are highly likely to be duck eyeball sclera structures.
What supports this result is not casually placing a few pictures in front of the camera, but a nearly 300 word inspection introduction. It is reported that the testing agency used methods such as morphological testing, nucleic acid testing, protein testing, and infrared detection to compare the eyeball structure of cooked duck heads with the original sample on site, and also detected duck derived and protein components from the original sample, indicating that the sample is composed of organic matter from animals. The results of the announcement have been implemented, and most netizens hold a trusting attitude. Some people say that the announcement clearly explains why it is a duck eyeball; Some people have analyzed that even though so many detection methods point to duck eyeballs, the conclusion is still not 100% conclusive, and the "high possibility" reflects a scientific attitude towards verification. The professionalism and expression of the notification have been recognized by netizens. One side insists it's a duck eyeball, while the other suspects it's a rubber product. At the beginning of the incident's exposure, the two sides had opposing views; It's a bizarre plot that happens in school, and it's also a food safety issue that involves social nerves, which is already eye-catching. However, the more important reason why the "duck eyeball membrane" incident has exploded across the internet is that last month, a vocational school in Jiangxi Province experienced the "pointing a mouse to a duck" incident, which concealed the truth and made netizens naturally question whether this time it would be "pointing a glue to a duck"? Many netizens initially did not believe the school's words, and even turned on a negative mode without waiting for the test results, which is precisely because the memory of the "rat head duck neck" incident is still fresh. In the "pointing a mouse to a duck" incident, some universities insisted that the foreign object was a duck neck, while later market regulators insisted in front of the camera that the sample was a duck neck. The joint investigation team finally uncovered the true facts. While "referring to rats as ducks" has become a laughing stock, public emotions and government credibility have also been hurt. With the lesson from the last time I was kept in the dark, this time when the school involved said it was not a foreign object, there are naturally not many people willing to believe it. Perhaps it was precisely because of the lesson of "pointing a mouse at a duck" that the Market Supervision Bureau of Zengcheng District and other departments quickly conducted meticulous and rigorous inspections, demonstrating a serious and sincere attitude. The spirit of seeking truth from facts, talking about ducks, analyzing in detail and expressing clearly, all form a sharp contrast with the series of operations in the "pointing rats to ducks" incident. Not afraid of problems, covering them up and wanting to cover them up is truly terrifying; As long as we face the problem, clarify it, explain it, and ultimately solve it, we can gain public understanding. The results of this inspection and official announcement have responded to public concerns and once again sounded the alarm: firstly, all catering venues, especially school canteens, must ensure hygiene and safety without any mistakes; The second is that food safety and government credibility cannot tolerate the lie of "ducks are here". Any trick of concealing the truth cannot hide from the eyes of the masses or the judgment of ordinary people; A fair, transparent, and objective verification process that maximizes the restoration of facts is the best response to questioning and the best handling of crises. Food safety is a major concern for people's livelihoods, and we must not be careless or perfunctory. Cooking with conscience is the only way to make everyone eat with peace of mind; Only by sincerely responding to problems can the public have more confidence in the government.
