China has intensified efforts to ensure food safety after a spate of incidents involving poisonous pet feed in the Untied States.

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine - the top quality control watchdog - said on Tuesday that two Chinese companies had exported melamine-contaminated wheat gluten and rice protein blamed for the deaths of dogs and cats in the United States.
