Shanghai: 'Zero tolerance' for food violations

Local authorities in Shanghai have promised a zero-tolerance approach to breaches of food safety laws after six managers from the company at the center of the expired meat scandal were arrested.

The six work for Shanghai Husi Food Co, which supplied leading fast-food chains, including McDonald's and KFC, with expired meat mixed with fresh meat.

Bai Shaokang, Shanghai's deputy mayor and police chief, said Shanghai will impose strict measures because food safety is essential for the health of residents.
