China’s new food safety laws enable further rapid growth for Ireland’s food producers

Following years of food scandals, from milk contaminated with an industrial chemical to the use of industrial dyes in eggs, and soya sauce made from hair clippings swept off salon floors, China has finally brought out a range of food safety regulations and legal penalties to clean up its food industry.

The new safety laws should enable further rapid growth for Ireland’s food producers who have a strong image for healthy uncontaminated products.

Local producers have been the main perpetrators in the scandals.
