No More Food-Safety Scandals
（源自网络 自行甄别 仅供参考）
The repeated melodramas of food scandals in China undermine people’s trust in food producers and government. In order to protect people from hazardous and poisonous food, the government show its determination to crack down the recurring food safety crimes by revising Food Safety Law, which stipulates food adulteration and slack regulation would lead to harsher penalties. Government officials have claimed their no-tolerance attitude towards food safety problems, saying that the construction of an efficient and transparent supervision system as well as risk management is of great necessity. Moreover, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce began to blacklist those conscienceless food producers. As I see it, the food-safety issue is caused by the profit-first attitude of food makers and the laissez-faire approach to regualting the food industries in some local authorities.
Firstly, due to the significant amount of demands of food products, some food makers are seeking profits at the expense of people’s health. For instance, in Shanxi Province, some of its highly regarded “aged vinegar” is actually dosed with industrial acid to cut fermentation time. （微信搜索蔡雷英语或cailei_sz关注，获取更多四六级资讯）The profit-driven and quicker-returns attitude of manufacturers has led to many cheated acts, which all pose great threats to consumers’ health and well-being. The integrity of food producers is tempered by the unlimited desire for profits and gains.
Besides, out of the petty mindset of protectionism, some local food associations or agencies choose to turn a blind eye to the rampant wrongdoers. As watchdogs empowered by law and people, local inspection and quarantine departments should be more responsive and proactive to crack down any potential or existing malpractice in the industry. To guarantee complete food safety, a more stringent and transparent mechanism should be adopted to expose and punish the illegal makers.
To conclude, Chinese people will only be reassured of the food safety, if the manufacturers put the public health before their marginal gains and if relevant departments undertake a periodic inspection and exposure system.
