Food Safety

Due to the tainted milk produced by Sanlu Company, many infants were suffering from kidney stone, and some even died.

This case, however,is only the latest food safety problem.

In the near past, KFC food was found to be tainted by Sudan red, a dangerous chemical that could cause cancers.

Food contamination will result in not only direct health problems, but also other indirect consequences.

On the one hand, when a product is discovered to be contaminated, people will have lingering fears on a large scale. On the other hand, take Sanlu scandal for instance, when the scandal was brought into the daylight,the company only reaped its bankruptcy, which can affect social stability due to unemployment brought by it.

In order to counter food safety problems, corporate leaders should not only attach importance to short-term profit through adulteration and other unlawful means.

Meanwhile, the government should also perfect its supervision procedures and increase financing for food testing.
