On the National Implementation Conference of Control and Regulation of Food and Health Food Frauds and Misleading Promotions held November 16-17, Sun Meijun, deputy director of CFDA attended and pointed out the following:

Each food and drug supervision department shall begin spot checks and inspection on key categories of food and health food, focus on investigation and handling of health food fraud and false propaganda, and applying practical and innovative working methods.

First, the basis of regulation should be consolidated. Full coverage of production unit and inspection-required content should be ensured by improving the coverage and depth of management network, focusing on weak points, and promoting deeper inspections.

Second, effective measures should be taken, meaning conducting the inspection onsite, punishing the individual, and making the information open to the public.

Third, a long-term mechanism should be established. The focus should always be on implementing the entity responsibility of manufacturers and third-party platforms, leading them to operate honestly and legally.

In addition, we should take the opportunity to enhance our inspection ability and infrastructures, and to improve our level of supervision, sampling and detection, case handling and enforcement of law, and forewarning communication.
