New mechanisms to improve food safety in Gansu

Government representatives from Gansu put forward four new risk-aversion mechanisms to improve Gansu’s food and drug safety system at a press conference on Monday.

The new mechanisms are categorized as risk discovery, risk assessment, emergency measures and risk management.

Yao Nianwen, deputy director of Gansu Food and Drug Administration, pointed out that new technology and business modes have sprung up in the food and drug industry, creating the need for industry’s management systems to be improved.
