Milk scandal sparks food safety campaign in China
China declared a new food safety campaign today after contaminated milk products from an earlier scandal turned up repackaged in several places around the country, exposing weaknesses in the country’s promise to stop such problems from happening again.
Vice Premier Li Keqiang told the first meeting of a newly established food safety commission that “We should understand the foundation for the country’s food safety is still weak and the situation is grave”, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
