雅思课外阅读--食品安全2

In fact, policymakers and consumers are already meeting this challenge head-on. China’s State Council has publicly stated that food safety is a top priority and that food producers and local governments will be held accountable if they fail to meet and enforce health and safety standards.The revised Food Safety Law covers more stages along the supply chain and, in direct response to the heartbreaking infant formula scandal, increases requirements governing the infant formula industry. Perhaps most important are the tougher consequences for violators of food safety regulations.

事实上，政策制定者和消费者迎头而上迎接挑战。中国国务院公开表明，食品安全是头等大事，如果食品生产者和地方政府无法实施健康安全标准，他们将被问责。新修订的《食品安全法》覆盖了食品供应链的多个环节，直面回应了令人痛心的婴儿配方奶粉丑闻，并提高了对婴儿配方奶粉行业的管理要求。而其中最重要的修订或许就是对违法者进行更为严厉的问责。

【犀利观点】怎样解决食品安全问题：

Policymakers and consumers should meet this challenge head-on.

Treat food safety as top priority.

Food producers and local governments should be held accountable if they fail to meet and enforce health and safety standards.

Perhaps most important are the tougher consequences for violators of food safety regulations.

Tightened regulatory oversight and more severe penalties are crucial in the effort to increase consumers’ confidence in the health and safety of their food. Better inter-agency coordination is still needed,however. In addition to the China Food and Drug Administration, the General Administration for Quality Inspection and Quarantine, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the National Health and Family Planning Commission are also involved. Each has its own set of regulations related to food safety,which means that greater coordination and cooperation between the relevant agencies are necessary for the food safety regulatory system to function.

严格的监督监管和更为严厉的处罚措施对于增强消费者对于食品安全的信心来说至关重要。国家食品药品监督管理总局、国家质量监督检验检疫总局、农业部、国家卫生和计划生育委员会等部门之间，仍需进行更好的协调。由于每个部门各自有一套食品安全相关的法规，相关部门之间更好地协调合作对于食品安全监管体系的顺利运行而言必不可少。
