Food is the most direct and important consumption item of human beings. But today, the use of new materials, booming global trade and pollution are posing new threats to food safety around the globe.
As a responsible country, China is making the greatest efforts to clean our own backyard, but we also believe food safety is a shared problem and responsibility of all countries.
In particular, we consider the cooperation between quality control departments from China and Japan important, and we are glad to see that such a relation has been intensified in the past year.
