More than 1,300 standards guard "safety on the tip of the tongue"

"The most rigorous standard" is one of the "four strictest" requirements for food safety, "the procedures must be standardized and transparent, the indicators must be scientifically applicable, based on food safety risk monitoring and risk assessment, and comply with China's National conditions and international practices
