On December 27th, the International Environmental Protection Organization Greenpeace announced the latest "Supermarket Ranking for 2010". It shows that Wal-Mart, the world's largest supermarket chain, has promised Chinese consumers to refuse genetically modified food for the first time. At the same time, more supermarkets promised to take practical measures to protect consumers from buying healthy and reliable food.
The "Supermarket Rankings 2010" shows that supermarkets such as Carrefour and Auchan continued positive performance last year and received more positive comments. Both of them are more effective in controlling the use of pesticides in the production of fruits and vegetables than other supermarkets, and refuse to sell foods containing genetically modified ingredients, and make it clear to the public that they will continue to improve their commitments.
According to Greenpeace spokesman Wang Weikang, both Wal-Mart Stores and Beijing Huatang Mall made promises. Wal-Mart is the first official commitment to Chinese consumers to refuse GM foods. "We hope that Walmart's example will encourage other supermarkets to take steps to make efforts for consumers' rights," he said.
However, Greenpeace stated that there are still some large supermarkets, such as Tesco, Chengdu Ito Yokado, and PARKnSHOP, which still ignore the food safety of Chinese consumers. Even supermarkets of the same brand perform double standards in different regions. For example, while Ito Yokado's Beijing store made a series of promises to consumers, its Chengdu store refused to accept any responsibility.
To protect consumer safety and environmental health, Greenpeace requires all supermarkets to immediately establish an effective supply chain monitoring system, including the establishment of traceability mechanisms to strengthen the detection of genetically modified and pesticide residues, to strengthen the management of suppliers and supply chains, and ensure consumption The person can understand GM food and pesticide residues in a timely manner. At the same time, supermarkets are also required to commit to reducing the amount of pesticides they use in the production of fruits and vegetables sold, and to help their suppliers and manufacturers reduce the use of pesticides.
Greenpeace sent out questionnaires to supermarkets, according to the results of the questionnaire survey and the information publicized on its website, targeting “rejection of GM foodsâ€, “gradually prohibiting the use of pesticidesâ€, “establishing product traceability and control systemsâ€, and “promulgating other supporting management measures†and Five aspects such as "open supermarket policy" are used for scoring supermarkets.
