BEIJING, May 9 (Xinhua) — The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC), China’s top legislature, on Friday launched a new round of inspection on the implementation of the Food Safety Law, aiming to strengthen supervision over food safety and further intensify overall efforts to ensure food safety.
The Food Safety Law was promulgated and put into effect in 2009, and underwent a comprehensive revision in 2015. The NPC Standing Committee previously conducted inspections on the law’s implementation in 2009, 2011 and 2016.
During this latest round of inspection, the inspection team will conduct on-site assessments in provincial-level regions such as Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangxi and Gansu.
In addition, the standing committees of the people’s congresses of Tianjin, Liaoning, Anhui, Hubei, Guizhou and Qinghai will be instructed to inspect the law enforcement situation in their respective administrative regions.
The inspection teams will focus on eight key areas, including the establishment of a food safety risk monitoring and assessment system, supervision of food safety in schools and supervision of food imports and exports.
NPC Standing Committee Vice Chairman Cai Dafeng stressed the importance of strictly implementing the basic principles of food safety, enhancing the efficiency of food safety supervision, and further promoting the comprehensive and effective implementation of the Food Safety Law to provide a strong legal guarantee for public health and safety. -0-
