"You are welcome to visit any part of the food factory, take photos and videos, and allow the food safety department to conduct random inspections of any production process. The cannery welcomes everyone if there are any requests."
"Now, please follow me."
After saying that, Fu Wan turned around neatly, and Su Ran hurriedly led the newspaper staff to follow.
Fu Liang quickly walked to Fu Ming's side and gestured for him to look at the crowd.
Fu Ming looked in the direction he was looking, and damn it, Xu Zhenbang had somehow sneaked in.
"Amin, what should we do? Should we get him out of here?"
Fu Ming also had this plan, but looking at Fu Wan's determined back and the crowd following behind, he decisively shook his head, "There are too many people now, asking him to leave could easily cause misunderstandings."
"That way, we'll both keep an eye on him!"
The group followed Fu Wan to Workshop 1, which was the entrance to the food factory's workshop and was mainly responsible for receiving fresh fish delivered from outside.
"Hey, look! The octopus in that basket is still moving!"
A sharp-eyed person immediately noticed the octopus still wriggling in the fish basket. Fu Wan smiled and said proudly, "Most of the fish used in our factory are purchased on the same day from the coastal docks of this county. It's normal for hardy fish like octopus to be still alive when they arrive."
After saying that, fearing they wouldn't believe her, Fu Wan had Ye Lin put all the fish baskets on the ground for the reporters to take pictures. Several residents who frequently bought seafood exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow, these mackerel and eels are really fresh! Look at all these fish, not a single one is belly-up!"
"Ha, who knows if they picked them out on purpose and showed them to us!"
Xu Zhenbang spoke sarcastically in the crowd. Ye Lin glared at him and said, "I don't like what you say. Don't you guys have any taste when you buy things? Food factories need to make good products, so of course they have to be selective about what they buy. We won't buy those tripe that are not fresh or look good because they are hauled up by trawler."
"The goods delivered here have already been sorted by the fresh produce collection ships; those that didn't meet the standards have already been taken to the feed mill!"
"Oh my, no wonder!" a middle-aged woman exclaimed. "Every morning when I go out to buy groceries, I see trucks delivering goods when I pass by the food factory."
"Oh my, those prawns are so fresh! I asked the buyer to sell them to me, but the young man wouldn't agree. Director Fu, your fish is indeed very fresh. Could you set up a stall at the entrance to sell your fish sometime? That way I won't have to walk so far to buy vegetables!"
Fu Wan smiled upon hearing this, "Thank you, I will consider it later."
After saying that, she glanced at Xu Zhenbang.
"Comrade Xu, do you still have any questions?"
Xu Zhenbang was speechless for a moment when asked the question, then snorted coldly and stopped talking.
At this moment, Su Ran winked at Fu Wanxia, cleared her throat, and asked loudly, "Director Fu, does the rotten fish and shrimp mentioned in the Longcheng Evening News actually exist?"
"Of course it doesn't exist."
Zhang Xiaoqing strode forward with her notebook in hand.
"Comrades, our factory keeps a record of every batch of goods that comes in, including the type and weight of the fish, the purchase time, and the purchaser. We remember everything clearly."
"Our products are all purchased and produced on the same day. The batch of goods mentioned in the evening newspaper was produced on the 16th. The records for the 16th are all here, you can take a look."
Several reporters went up to take a look and took photos for their records.
After inspecting the raw materials, the next step was to go to the second workshop where the fish were processed.
Even when someone came in, the workers continued to process the fish in an orderly manner.
Looking at the sink, which was even cleaner than his own kitchen, Du Jianguo nodded in agreement.
To be honest, he had worked at the Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce for five or six years and had seen many unscrupulous factories over the years.
But this was the first time he had ever seen such a clean "black-hearted" factory.
Other reporters also noticed this; cleaning the fish is arguably the dirtiest step in the fish product processing, but they could barely see any fish scales accumulating in the crevices of the tank.
Even the scales and entrails scraped off were promptly washed clean by the workers, and the prepared fish were so clean they could be put directly into the pot.
"Comrade Xiao Fu, the hygiene in your factory is excellent!"
Du Jianguo sighed in a deep voice, while Fu Wan smiled modestly, "Thank you for your recognition, leader. If we in the food industry make unclean products, wouldn't that be going against our conscience and ruining our own reputation?"
Comrades, please take another look this way.
After saying that, she continued to lead the way to Workshop 3, which is the workshop for processing fish products. As soon as they entered the workshop, they saw several neat production lines. The workers and machines worked together seamlessly, and piles of fish were being processed into bags of seafood in front of them.
Qian Zhimin had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Fu Wan and the others coming over, he quickly handed them the documents he had prepared.
"Comrades, welcome to Workshop 3 of the food factory. Our products undergo their main production processes here."
This is the production license certificate from the seasoning manufacturer that we use in our production process. The seasonings from our Wuxing Food Factory and Cannery are simple, everyday ingredients such as salt, MSG, soy sauce, and chili. As for preservatives, our packaged products use preservatives within the national standard range.
The products from the cannery don't contain any preservatives at all.
"No preservatives? How is that possible?"
A reporter immediately asked in confusion, and Qian Zhiming proudly straightened his back, "How is it impossible? Back then, our factory director spent five thousand yuan to have me find someone to conduct research. Our canned goods are all made using high-temperature sterilization technology, so we don't need any preservatives at all."
"If you don't believe me, we have patent certificates from the research institute here!"
The reporter took the certificate and looked at it. Good heavens, it really was a certificate from the Longhai City Research Institute. Su Ran suddenly realized what was going on.
"No wonder the canned fish I bought last time spoiled easily after two days once opened, but the unopened ones lasted for almost half a month!"
Qian Zhiming nodded and explained, "That's right. Once the can is opened, it comes into contact with air, and the sterile environment is destroyed. So, just like the dishes we usually cook, it spoils easily if it's not eaten in time."
The words were easy to understand, but at that moment, a discordant voice arose from the crowd.
"Who knows if your certificates are real? You say it's sterile, but bacteria are invisible to humans. Whether it exists or not isn't just based on what you say."
These words made Zhao Gang and Du Jianguo frown and look over, while Xu Zhenbang felt a little guilty under everyone's gaze.
However, having come to this critical juncture, he could no longer back down.
"I didn't say anything wrong, so why are you all staring at me?"
"Everyone can see that Comrade Xu is cooperating well with our work!"
Fu Wan made a sarcastic remark, but instead of getting angry, she clapped her hands with a smile.
