Almost all parents in rural Beijing say they have concerns about the safety of the food their children eat, according to a new report.

The research on children's food safety in rural Beijing was commissioned by the Beijing Women and Children's Development Foundation and was released yesterday at the 2009 Summit of Children's Food Safety.

Researchers spoke to 2,684 children and their parents in 132 villages in 16 districts and counties.
