Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that China is making sample testing on dairy export products and will take measures once any food safety problems are found.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang announced at the press conference on Oct. 9 that China understands the restrictions on Chinese dairy products taken by some countries after melamine was detected in Sanlu baby milk powder. Once any problems are found in the sample test of dairy products for export, China will notify countries involved and order the producers to recall or destroy the products.
Qin said that the issue of the food safety is a common challenge faced by the whole world. China is ready to strengthen communication and cooperation with other countries. The Chinese government has briefed the milk powder scandal to other countries and international organizations including World Health Organization in a timely way.
“We will strengthen our control on the food quality and supervision on food safety,” said Qin, adding that those measures and more efforts on food safety will increase confidence of foreign consumers in food from China.
Qin also insisted that on the food safety issue great importance should be attached to that issue on one hand and an objective, scientific and factually based attitude should be held on the other.
