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.
