[Reporter Cai Sipei/Taipei Report] Taipei City Councilor You Shuhui questioned today (25th) that Taipei Agricultural Products Distribution Co., Ltd. inspected and released water, and "corrected and returned" vegetables that were found to be illegal by a large number of mass spectrometers into the market; even some pesticides exceeded the standard 4 twice as many vegetables were released, but vegetables with the same pesticide exceeding the standard by twice the standard were not qualified. It is a double standard to question Beinong.

Beinong explained that the inspectors have received professional training and passed the assessment, and the inspection results are "not affected by external forces."

You Shuhui received a petition. The people found that the chrysanthemum chrysanthemum they bought had a strong pesticide smell, so they sent the vegetables to the laboratory for inspection at their own expense. The inspection showed that the pesticides in the product obviously exceeded the standard. The official website shows that it passed the inspection.

In response to this, Beinong replied that since December 9 last year, it was found that the sensitivity of the inspection mass spectrometer No. 1 had dropped, so the inspectors were authorized to adjust the inspection standards "by themselves", and the mass spectrometer did not complete maintenance until February 8 this year.

You Shuhui questioned that a large number of over-standard vegetables and fruits were artificially corrected by Beinong and returned to be qualified, which may indulge a large number of over-standard poisonous vegetables into the market.

You pointed out that from December 10 last year to February 8 this year, Beinong inspected a total of 2,295 cases, and 710 cases were found to be unqualified by the mass spectrometer. "Afterwards, it turned into qualified fruits and vegetables, and the pass rate increased from 70% to 94%. The pass rate of vegetables and fruits handled by mass spectrometer No. 1 rose sharply from 63% to 97% after correction.

You pointed out that nearly 10,000 kilograms of fruits and vegetables were judged to be unqualified by mass spectrometers, but they were artificially adjusted and released, and they may have been eaten by the public.

You Shuhui also pointed out that Beinong is concerned about the size of the contractors. Taking the inspection of the pesticide "Buffy Song" on January 5 this year as an example, some fruits and vegetables exceeded the standard by 4.3 times but were corrected as qualified, but fruits and vegetables that exceeded the standard by 2.4 times were not qualified.

You said that Beinong failed the inspection of the same pesticide, some were corrected and some were destroyed, where is the standard?

And the goods that fail the inspection will be destroyed directly, and the supplier will not be compensated.

You criticized that if Beinong can artificially correct the regression by itself, the existence of mass spectrometers will become a joke.

You Shuhui also said that Beinong should completely reassign candidates for the board of directors and supervisors of Beinong as soon as possible, and ask the Council of Agriculture to reorganize the management of Beinong, including the chairman, general manager and non-professional deputy general manager personnel, and return Beinong as a professional company with zero politics operate.

In response to this, Beinong responded that all inspectors have received training in mass spectrometry rapid inspection from professional units and passed the assessment. The inspection operation and interpretation are handled in accordance with the training content. The inspection unit operates independently, and the inspection results are not affected by external forces.

Beinong also pointed out that there are many types of crops, and artificial intelligence may have errors. The system originally reserves the function that can be checked and corrected manually.

Beinong said that in mid-April, relevant units such as the Institute of Drugs and Toxicology, the Inspection Department of the Health Bureau, and the Market Department have been invited to conduct technical reviews and take relevant improvements to maintain the credibility of inspections, including the timing of manual interpretation, qualitative and quantitative conditions, and strengthening manual modification of operating guidelines , Laboratory instruments and standard product management system establishment, practical map discussion and other inspection items.

Taipei City Councilor You Shuhui questioned on the 25th that the Taipei Agricultural Products Distribution Co., Ltd. inspected and released water, and "corrected and returned" vegetables that were found to be illegal by a large number of mass spectrometers into the market.
