New bureau to tackle fake food, drug crimes

Experts say special expertise needed to gather evidence against offenders

Experts are hopeful that a new department under the Ministry of Public Security - designed to tackle food-and drug-related crimes - will help stem the tide of fake and dangerous products.

The Food-and Drug-Related Crime Investigation Bureau was officially established on Saturday, with Lyu Wuqin, former director of the ministry's auditing bureau, named as its head.
