11-Jan-2011 (15 years 4 months 28 days ago)China’s central government will invest more to improve county-level quality inspection centers to ensure food hygiene over the next five years.
Of the 2,862 county-level quality inspection centers nationwide, less than half or 1,100 are capable of carrying out food safety tests, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ). With increased government input during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), the number of counties with the capability of conducting food safety tests may double.
