For better food safety

The draft of the country's law on food safety was published on Sunday to solicit public opinion before it is submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for deliberation.

With the recall of some exported food and the growing concern for the contamination of aquatic products in the past year, revisions of the 13-year-old legal code, that was called Law on Food Sanitation, certainly mean a great deal to the health of the food market.

Safety standards for food have long been a problem. It is not only because the standards are not strict or scientific enough but also because we have different standards for the same food.
