City crackdown on pork goods

Beijing has launched a crackdown on pork production following a scandal involving the use of potentially poisonous meat additives in Central China's Henan province.

Quality supervision inspectors will closely monitor the process from the farm to the fork, leaving no room for the use of chemical additives, according to an unnamed official with the capital's agriculture bureau who was quoted by Beijing Times.

The comments came following a major meeting between pig farmers, meat processors and food retailers on Saturday.
