Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, due to the continuous rainstorm, many mooncake stalls have closed early, and some old customers who are waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to buy special mooncakes have lost their composure in previous years. How to deal with the remaining mooncake manufacturers and how to ensure food hygiene and safety has become a topic of concern to many people.

The reporter interviewed several mooncake manufacturers in Haikou today, and all of them said that they would not use old stuffing, and unsold mooncakes would be treated as animal feed after the shelf life. However, it is understood that how to recycle mooncakes in the mooncake industry at present still depends on enterprise self-discipline. Although China's current laws and regulations have relevant provisions on food quality, hygiene and safety, there are no operational measures to supervise the recycling of moon cakes.

Sell it as feed after discount.

This afternoon, the reporter saw in the shopping malls and supermarkets in Haikou that many mooncake counters have started to reduce prices and discount the mooncakes that cannot be sold. Sales staff told reporters that since yesterday, some manufacturers began to have special sales, but due to heavy rain, the final promotion was not as lively as in previous years.

Manufacturers are more cautious about the recycling of moon cakes. Many moon cake manufacturers said that after the remaining moon cakes are sold at a discount, they will be treated internally to employees or sold to recycling stations for animal feed. Some manufacturers insist on not discounting, thinking that discounting will affect brand reputation. Before production, it is best to make products according to the order to reduce the risk. After the shelf life, the recycled moon cakes will be sold to the recycling station.

The moon cake recycling management lacks relevant laws and regulations.

It is understood that although China has laws on the quality of moon cakes, such as the Food Hygiene Law and the Quality Law, and has recently issued relevant laws and regulations on moon cake stuffing and moon cake packaging, there are no special laws and regulations on how to deal with moon cakes recycled by manufacturers. The functional departments of industry and commerce, quality supervision and health only supervise moon cake manufacturers on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year.

For this kind of blank, insiders revealed that more self-discipline is needed, because it belongs to the moral category after all, and the specific operation is entirely the responsibility of the manufacturer.

Although the "slimming order" is still very wasteful,

Although the four ministries and commissions issued a "slimming order" for moon cakes early this year to curb excessive packaging of moon cakes. However, many consumers still think that the current consumption level of moon cakes is too high, and the price of many 8-pack moon cake gift boxes exceeds 100 yuan. And those exquisite packaging boxes are heartbreaking to handle. Some consumers hope that manufacturers can recycle these boxes to reduce waste.

Some consumers also think that it is a waste for manufacturers to treat expired moon cakes as animal feed. It is suggested whether some unexpired moon cakes can be donated to nursing homes, welfare homes or poor families after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although it will be a bit hard to donate after the holiday, it can make these consumers feel warm.
