The tragedy of wild mushroom poisoning should not be repeated

2025-06-26   

Recently, multiple incidents of poisoning from consuming wild mushrooms have attracted widespread attention from society. According to media reports, tragedies have occurred in Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province, Hunan Province, and other areas where people have been poisoned or even died from consuming wild mushrooms. These heartbreaking cases have once again sounded the alarm for food safety. Preventing poisoning from consuming wild mushrooms should be highly valued and carefully deployed in various regions, and a series of effective measures should be taken to strengthen the food safety defense line for the masses. Establish a sound responsibility system and strengthen prevention and control at the source. Local governments should incorporate the prevention and control of wild mushroom poisoning into their key food safety work. The market supervision department should focus on strengthening the supervision of collective catering venues such as catering units and school canteens, strictly implement the food traceability system, and resolutely prevent wild mushrooms from unknown sources from entering the dining table. At the same time, establish a cross departmental collaboration mechanism to form a working pattern of joint prevention and control among multiple departments such as agriculture and rural areas, market supervision, and health. Innovate publicity methods to enhance the effectiveness of science popularization. On the basis of traditional propaganda methods such as hanging banners, posting posters, distributing promotional materials, and producing science popularization brochures, village cadres, grid workers, and volunteers can be organized to carry out "knocking on doors" in densely populated areas such as villages, communities, and rural markets, especially targeting key groups such as left behind children and the elderly. Through face-to-face explanations and warning reminders, public awareness of prevention can be raised. At the same time, new media platforms such as WeChat official account and WeChat group can be used to push pictures and texts, short videos and poisoning warning cases of wild mushrooms, and set up eye-catching warning signs in key areas such as mountains, tourist attractions and forest parks. Strengthen supervision and law enforcement, and build a strong security line. Market regulatory authorities should increase their inspection and supervision efforts during high incidence periods of wild mushroom poisoning such as summer, and carry out full coverage supervision and inspection of agricultural markets and temporary wild mushroom trading points to strictly investigate illegal trading of wild mushrooms; Organize food safety training for catering units and farmers' market operators within the jurisdiction, and urge business entities to implement relevant regulations prohibiting the purchase, processing, and use of wild mushrooms; Urge online platforms to fulfill their main responsibilities and clean up information on illegal sales of wild mushrooms; Establish an emergency response mechanism and smooth the green channel for poisoning treatment; Strengthen targeted training for emergency personnel in medical institutions to enhance their ability to identify and treat poisoning. Food is of paramount importance to the people, and safety comes first when it comes to food. To avoid the tragedy of wild mushroom poisoning, regulatory authorities, grassroots organizations, medical institutions, and the public need to fulfill their responsibilities and work together to prevent it.
