China Promises Safe Food for 2008 Olympics

Posted by Adam Kuban, July 10, 2007

Ahead of next year's Summer Games, the Chinese government pledges that its food will be safe for "athletes, coaches, officials, and others" attending the events.

"All the procedures involving Olympic food, including production, processing, packaging, storing and transporting will be closely monitored," Sun Wenxu, an official with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, told reporters Tuesday.

In a related move, the government also executed a former food and drug chief there who was found guilty of taking cash in exchange for approving six untested medicines.
