Jinjiang food industry employs international safety standards

The food industry in Jinjiang, Fujian province, looks to international standards to ensure its safety, according to local food processors.

"We adopt international standards for our raw materials, production processes and equipment," said Zhong Ji, director of the planning center at Panpan Foods Group, a leading snack food processor.

Zhong said that a lot of Chinese food products are as good as imported ones. But the food safety scandals in recent years had hampered consumers' trust in made-in-China foods.
