The Chinese Government will learn from international experiences to further ensure the country's food safety, officials said at the Global Food Safety Forum in Beijing, which opened Thursday.
The two-day forum has attracted more than 400 participants from both China and abroad. Nearly 80 of the attendants will deliver speeches at the forum.
According to the newly published "Study on China's National Food Safety Strategy," a collaboration of more than 150 Chinese researchers from 50 research and government bodies, China's food safety faces tough challenges despite noticeable progress in past years.
Han Jun, from the Development Research Centre of the State Council which took the lead in conducting the study, gave a brief introduction of the study at the forum Thursday.
Existing problems include excessive and improper use of pesticides, the existence of many unqualified small-size food companies and the insufficiency of food safety technology.
The strategic study offers a series of suggestions to alleviate the problem, such as setting up a state food safety commission to co-ordinate government bodies, giving advice to the government in policy making, raising public awareness in food safety policies and knowledge and conducting surveys on the status of food safety.
Vice-Premier Wu Yi, when addressing the opening of the forum, expected the forum to strengthen exchange in the field of food safety.Read More....
