Global Food Technologies Possesses Solution to China's Food Safety Regulation Needs

NEW YORK, NY, July 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) Due to a series of food safety incidents, including the discovery of elevated levels of mercury in baby formula, the country of China has found itself on the receiving end of consumer fears. These several food safety issues have decreased global confidence in products manufactured in China, which will ultimately create a negative impact on the Chinese food export industry if problems are not addressed promptly. In an effort to do so, the Chinese government has launched a five-year plan aimed at improving and enforcing food safety regulations. Global Food Technologies, an international food safety solution company, has the operational and technological insight necessary to assist Chinese officials in creating and enforcing up-to-date regulations.

The Chinese government released a statement claiming that, while it does have food safety regulations in place, they were drafted by several agencies and need to be reconciled: "Many of the regulations are overlapping or contradict each other, since multiple government agencies were given the responsibility of compiling their own standards years ago."

These standards number nearly 5,000 and are made up of 2,000 national food regulations and over 2,900 industry-based regulations. To reconcile these guidelines, 14 government departments will coordinate to review and revise these regulations. These departments, which include the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, aim to have this project complete by the year 2015.

To achieve such a monumental undertaking, the government has strategized to address certain safety regulations first, such as those associated with dairy, baby food, vegetable oil, additives, alcohol, meat, and seasoning. Additionally, the government has allocated resources to test contaminants, additives, and other substances throughout the food production process.

Global Food Technologies has already created a standard for such testing. In fact, the constant quality control and safety measures that Global Food Technologies enforces, has set its operational procedures apart from the rest of the food safety industry. Global Food Technologies has pioneered a proprietary system that enhances the taste, quality, and safety of food while minimizing the risk of foodborne illness.

Global Food Technologies hopes that the Chinese food industry will recognize the value that its proprietary "organic" system holds. Through its efforts, the company knows that it can assist the Chinese food safety industry in upholding stricter regulations.
