Abstract

An Analysis of Food Safety Policy in China Suh, Woon-seok Food safety refers to the conditions and practices that preserve the quality of food to prevent contamination and food borne illnesses. Food can be contaminated in many different ways. Some food products may already contain bacteria or parasites. The germs can be spread during the packaging process if the food products are not handled properly. Failure to cook or store the food properly can cause further contamination. China has faced a lash of international criticism, especially from the United States, claiming that the ambitious exporter has let fake products seep into the global marketplace, menacing the health of consumers. Many countries have banned articles of food containing an illegal and sometimes lethal additive in goods shipped from China.China announce a new policy against dangerous foods that have alarmed consumers, the government voiced in a plan that vows stronger export controls. For example, the five-year plan for food, drug safety was issued amid a wave of health scandals at home and abroad that have shaken consumer confidence in China's food industries. The document states that ensuring food safety for the public must be the starting point and destination of all work on the five-year plan. This one promises to defuse mounting domestic and foreign fears about farm produce, foods and many other daily goods.The new policy calls for inspections in farmlands, factories and ports to stop toxic products reaching consumers. China's food policy vows that in coming years illegal activities behind production and sale of fake and shoddy foods will be effectively contained.
