Lawmakers discuss food safety

Members of the NPC Standing Committee have started to discuss the fourth version of the draft law on Food Safety. So far, most have shown approval.

The discussion focused mainly on the details of the articles.

Some members stressed that TV commercials should be separately mentioned in the articles concerning the media's responsibility.

Members of ethnic minorities said the law should make sure their dietary restrictions are protected in public eating places and the food production system.

Members emphasize the law concerns every citizen, and implementation requires efforts from the entire society.

Members will vote on the draft at the end of the session.
