中國製造的食物和牙膏有非法添加物的報導出現,並遭多國禁止進口相關產品之後,中國政府表示他們正在加強食物安全的規定。
根據新華社報導,中國總理溫家寶在25日的國家委員會會議表示,產品品質與食物安全的議題「與人們的生活、生產者的聲望和國家形象有密切關係。」
溫家寶表示:「我國必須建立一個嚴謹的網絡,以對加工、包裝、運送與物品販賣進行有效管理,並且提升國家標準系統以符合國際標準。」
該會通過關於監督食物安全的草擬規定,其中要求強化對於食物製造商和銷售商的控制、增加責任感與政府的義務,並且更嚴格懲處非法活動的進行。
這個草擬法案日後會經過修改,並由中國最高行政和執行中心的國家委員會正式宣佈。此外,溫家寶表示,中國會定期公佈產品資訊的報告與回收不良產品。
The Chinese government says it is strengthening its food safety regulations after discoveries of tainted food and toothpaste have resulted in bans of Chinese products in many countries.
Addressing a conference of the State Council on Wednesday, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said the issue of product quality and food safety is "closely linked with people's lives, producers' reputations and the nation's image," according to the official state news agency Xinhua.
"The nation must establish a rigorous network to realize effective supervision over processing, packaging, delivering and sale of products and step up the establishment of national standard systems to tally with international standards," Wen said.
The conference approved a draft special regulation on the supervision of food safety which requires intensified controls over food producers and distributors, increased responsibilities and obligations on the part of the government and more serious punishment for illegal activities.
The draft would be amended and later formally published by the State Council, China's highest executive and administrative body. Wen also said China would publicize periodic reports on product information and recall defective products.
