CCTV News: On April 9, the Ministry of Commerce and 12 other departments issued the "Special Action Plan for Promoting Healthy Consumption" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), proposing ten key tasks to cultivate and develop new quality productivity in the field of healthy consumption, improve the quality of supply of healthy goods and services, and better meet the people's health consumption needs. Among them, in terms of healthy diet, the policy has proposed a number of measures.

In terms of improving the consumption level of healthy diet and optimizing the supply of special food markets, the policy proposes: encourage wholesale and retail enterprises to set up special areas and counters for high-quality agricultural products, and organize special sales activities. Crack down on illegal addition of food and carry out random checks on the effectiveness of organic food certification. Guide urban and rural primary medical and health institutions to provide reasonable dietary and scientific exercise guidance points for patients with hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, etc. Deepen the reform of the registration and filing system for special foods, improve the pre-review and post-evaluation mechanism for health foods, and smooth the review and registration of new health foods and products. Increase efforts to crack down on price violations in health food, "one old and one young" and other fields.

Zhang Wei, Vice President of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce: Now we are gradually strengthening the organic certification and quality management of food, but overall there is a gap between the daily consumption needs or satisfaction of the people. At the same time, we feel that people nowadays pay more attention to eating nutrition and eating health, and in these aspects, more comprehensive service support systems are needed to better support the development of this part of consumption, such as the services of professional nutritionists, or the popularization of more professional health nutrition knowledge.

Explore the construction of regional comprehensive service centers and provide popular science display, evaluation and configuration, rental and sales services to the elderly, so as to meet the elderly’s needs for rehabilitation assistance devices nearby.

Deputy Dean of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce: The current silver-haired tribes have more time and better energy and energy to enjoy life than the silver-haired tribes several years ago, so their consumption potential is great. Including some aging-friendly products mentioned in the policy, it is also part of healthy consumer products. Other products such as health care, including related health services that adapt to the physical condition of the silver hair class, will be promoted to have a new growth point in the silver hair consumer market with the release of documents and the introduction of policy integration in relevant fields.
