In May, China''s quality control watchdog confirmed two domestic companies had exported melamine-contaminated wheat gluten and rice protein blamed for the deaths of dogs and cats in the United States.
Investigations showed the two companies had managed to evade quality checks by labeling products as exports that were not subject to quality inspection.
However, Lin said the violation was only an "isolated" case and 99 percent of China''s exported food was up to standard.
Lin said the government had set up a rigorous quality supervision and inspection system for exported food, which covered all procedures, including planting, processing, distributing and exporting.
"Starting from planting and breeding to exporting, all procedures are under close supervision," said Lin, deputy general director of the bureau of safety of exported and imported food under the administration.
Lin said China was open in having cooperation and exchanges with other countries on food safety.
"We are fully confident that Chinese products are not only affordable and fine quality, but also healthy and safe," Lin said.
