B[Chen Wenqing presided over a special meeting and emphasized that crimes that endanger food safety should be strictly investigated and punished in accordance with the law to protect the people's "safety on the tip of the tongue"] On September 26, Chen Wenqing, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, chaired a special meeting on the 24th, emphasizing the need to conscientiously study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on food safety work, strictly investigate and deal with crimes that endanger food safety in accordance with the law, and protect the people's "safety on the tip of the tongue."
Chen Wenqing pointed out that the current food safety situation in China continues to be stable and improving, but incidents that impact the bottom line of food safety still occur from time to time. Political and legal agencies must adhere to the people-centered approach, regard the protection of food safety as a major political task, strengthen collaboration with relevant departments, resolve prominent food safety issues through strict law enforcement, and use the rule of law to safeguard people's life safety and health.
Chen Wenqing emphasized that strict law enforcement must be adhered to, focusing on key areas such as meat products, school food, health foods, vegetables and fruits, focusing on key links such as production and processing, online sales, terminal catering, and food imports, and punishing crimes that endanger food safety throughout the chain. It is necessary to strengthen the connection between executions, actively communicate with market supervision, agriculture and rural departments and other departments, improve the two-way connection mechanism between administrative penalties and criminal penalties, establish an information sharing platform, and strengthen food safety governance according to law. It is necessary to promote comprehensive rectification, consolidate the main responsibilities of all parties, improve the supervision of the entire food safety chain, and strictly prevent, strictly manage and strictly control food safety risks. It is necessary to improve laws and regulations, accelerate the comprehensive revision of the Food Safety Law, clarify the production specifications, permitted uses, definition of responsibilities and other regulations for new business formats such as fresh food e-commerce, catering takeout, and live streaming, so as to firmly maintain the bottom line of food safety.
