On April 27, 2016, China’s cabinet, the State Council published its Key Tasks regarding Food Safety Work in 2016. This document serves as the reference for Chinese ministries/departments under the State Council responsible for food safety work during the year. Key tasks include the formulation of law/regulations and standards, stricter oversight of agricultural products at their source (agricultural inputs), registration of key products and foreign food facilities, and the establishment of traceability systems for key products. This document also strings together recently imposed measures, draft measures under consideration, and sets the stage for new measures.
