China cracks down on food producers

2nd October 2007 by Cor Groenveld1 Comment

An article in the Sydney Morning Herald addresses the food safety concerns in China. The Chinese Government revoked the production licenses of hundreds of companies. It is known that food safety is very high on the agenda of China’s government. Reasons for that are the coming Olympics and the negative publicity from several food scandals. In addition, countries like Japan are increasing the pressure on China to assure food safety and quality in the food chain. Japan imports a large percentage of its food products from China. All these developments increase the Chinese demand for tools to improve and assure the production of food. Standards like ISO-22000, HACCP and BRC get more and more attention, just like certification against these standards.

    Food safety must follow the global nature of the food trade. The job of tackling food safety challenges is made easier if experts can some together to share knowledge and experience. China is doing its part by hosting the China International Food Safety & Quality Conference. This annual event was launched in 2007 with the mission to raise issues and introduce practical solutions to safeguard the global food supply chain. The upcoming event will be held on September 24-25, 2008 in Beijing city. To register, log on to www.chinafoodsafety.com
