Nov. 7 – China approves draft food safety law

From The Hindu:

Stung by food scandals, China on Wednesday approved a draft law on food safety to plug “weak points” in production, processing, delivery, storage and sales.

“Food safety is vital to improving people’s lives and health, so relevant legislation must match national efforts of safeguarding food safety,” Wen was quoted as saying.
