Food Safety

China will strengthen oversight of food products entering Beijing, in the run up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

There has been a series of food safety scandals.

Rewards for uncovering unlawful production methods have been increased from 10K Yuan to 50K Yuan.

Beijing will also set up a system to trace back food and food products to their origins, and will strictly monitor the use of fertiliser and pesticides.

China is not going to allow anything to damage its image or reputation in the run up to the Games.
