In the process of strengthening the regulation of food safety, the state still has the problem of imperfect regulations and standards and insufficient scientific enforcement.
These also limit the technological innovation of enterprises, but also bring some negative impacts on the production and operation of enterprises.
For example, the rise of various costs, compressing the profit margin of enterprises, resulting in a decline in profitability.
And the production capacity of certain products is blindly expanded, leading to more intense market competition.
The vicious competition of low prices disrupts the market order and affects the healthy development of the industry.
