: Food Safety NewsChina Considers Tougher Food Safety Penalties
By Dan Flynn and Suzanna Schreck
The amendment would allow public servants "responsible for supervising and managing food safety" to face up to 10 years in jail for "dereliction of duty or abuse of power" in a severe foods safety breach, according to official Chinese media Xinhua. Current criminal law addresses dereliction of duty and abuse of power but does not specifically address food safety violations.
The draft being considered would allow for prosecution if a business owner sells harmful food products, even in cases were no one is sickened.
