Chinese Premier Wen Vows China Food to Meet Global Standards
Wen pledged Chinese food exports would "comply with the standards of importing countries," adding China would "seriously draw lessons" from the milk contamination scandal that led to the deaths of four babies.
"We will use our actions and high quality of our food products to win the trust and confidence of Chinese people and people around the world," he told reporters at the end of a summit of Asian and European leaders in Beijing.
Four babies died of kidney failure and at least 53,000 children fell ill this year after consuming milk powder and other dairy products in China contaminated by the industrial chemical melamine.
Chinese dairy products around the world also were recalled or banned after they were found to be tainted, dealing another blow to the "Made in China" brand already tarnished by a string of safety scandals in recent years.
Wen said China had made great efforts to improve its food safety system after the scandal erupted last month.
"After the incident, we took prompt measures to work out regulations on product safety in the dairy industry," Wen said.
He pointed to a new law on food safety that is currently before China's parliament as evidence the nation was seeking to improve its dairy industry.
