In China, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce director Zhou Bohua yesterday said that the country will establish a nationwide grocery tracking system to ensure food safety. By the end of this year, all food markets and supermarkets in cities above county level will have set up the system requiring invoices and documents attached to purchased commodities. All township, street-side and community groceries will also set up a system of keeping real-time records when purchasing and selling commodities. The above measures are aimed at supervising product quality and food safety more effectively in accordance with the campaign, launched on August 25, to strengthen supervision and administration of the safety of food and other products.
