``This is getting ridiculous,'' said Liu Dongqing, a 23- year-old factory worker as he handed over 10 yuan ($1.33) for a ``catty'' -- 1.3 pounds -- of pork that previously cost 7 yuan at a market in the southern factory town of Shenwan last week. ``Sooner or later I won't be able to afford to eat pork.''

``Food is becoming so expensive but my salary is not rising as much,'' said Chen Xiaofang, a 28-year-old waitress in the southern border city of Zhuhai. ``The government should do something to control prices.''

China's economy, the world's fourth largest, expanded 11.9 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, the fastest pace in more than 12 years. Producer prices rose 2.6 percent in August, accelerating for the first time in four months, after gaining 2.4 percent in July, the statistics bureau said today.

A senior official in charge of food quality said Tuesday companies and local governments should jointly establish an inspection system to address pork safety issues.

"Food safety is not only about public health but also the company's image. Companies are responsible for their products. Local governments should also play an active role in supervision and ensure food safety," Li said.

"We are working to implement two 100 percent rules around the nation to prevent any ill or dead pig from entering the market."
The two rules refer to the slaughter of pigs in designated areas and the safe disposal of ill or dead pigs.
Tianjin has "successfully addressed pork safety problems" with the implementation of the rules, Tianjin Deputy Mayor Huang Xingguo said. "We strictly follow food safety regulations, from pig purchasing to transportation. I can assure you that no ill or dead pigs get into my factory and all my pork is safe," said Xie Xinchun, a manager of Tianjin's Hepeng Food Company.
