New era for food quality

China Daily | Updated: 2009-03-02 07:44

The country's first law on food safety was adopted by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress at the weekend.

The 158 votes for, three votes against and four abstentions reflect the lawmakers' great expectations of the role the law will play in regulating the food industry.

Seven reviews by the plenary session of the National People's Congress (NPC), four readings by its standing committee, and with more than 10,000 suggestions from the general public since it was presented to the NPC in 2007, speak volumes for the importance the NPC attaches to this legal code.
