Tang said Beijing has set up a food safety control network that is based on
three levels of municipality, suburbs and county, community and township.
About 70 per cent of the city's communities and villages have food safety
supervisors.
Tang said food safety in Beijing has been improving in recent years.
About 100,000 food samples are selected and tested each year by inspectors.
"In 1998, 79.8 per cent of the samples were qualified. This percentage rose to
94.9 last year," she said.
In the first half of this year, about 95 per cent of tested samples met
standards, she added.
Liu said the major food safety problem currently in Beijing is the excessive
use of artificial colours and sulphur dioxide residue due to the over use of
food additives.
In the first half of the year, 514 kinds of food were removed from shelves
because of quality problems, Liu said.
At Friday's conference, Liu also said his administration resolved 499
trademark violation cases, which totalled about 32.3 million yuan (US$3.98
million).
Also, the administration has issued a notice banning the sales of pirated
products from such brands as Gucci and Boss throughout
Beijing.
