For those that did not qualify, Ji said irregular labeling was mainly to blame. At least 97.5 percent of juices tested were up to standard, if labeling was not taken into consideration.
Two weeks ago, the Ministry of Agriculture said farm products were safer than before, citing tests on fruit, vegetables, meat and fish in major cities.
Ji attributed the quality improvement to stricter supervision and the implementation of a market access mechanism.
But he admitted there were still problems. Excessive use of food additives and pathogenic bacteria such as the coli groups were found in some samples.
Reports of substandard food often appear in the media and the issue burst into the international spotlight when allegedly tainted additives, exported from China, contaminated pet food in North America.
