The Safety of Food

Reports of food poisonings or tainted food have been frequent in China. In late 2006, illegal amount of chemicals was discovered in turbot. In March 2007, KFC was accused of adding oil filtering power. In September 2008, a fresh outbreak of kidney disease occurred, due to baby formula contaminated by melamine, a poisonous chemical。

These incidents happened so frequently mainly because the government failed to inspect efficiently. Though there are around ten national government departments and numerous provincial and local agencies that share the responsibility to ensure food safety and monitor local food production and sales, their duties are often overlapping and ambiguous, which makes the monitoring system unresponsive。

In my opinion, to guarantee the food safety, the government should attach great importance to food inspection and improve the supervision mechanism. They should check the food products in the market, and immediately pull those disqualified products off shelves. In this way, Chinese food will conform to the standard and thus become safer and safer。
