The FSL will go into effect on June 1, 2009. For the first time, the Chinese Government uses Western terminology in calling for food safety regulation “from the production line to the dining table.” Key organizational provisions create a state-level Food Safety Commission to oversee food-safety monitoring. This Commission will be composed of members from the Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC). Other key provisions deal with supervision, monitoring, enforcement, recall, trace back, licensing, registration, and development of standards and regulations. A complete analysis of this law is provided in GAIN Report CH9018. This report is an UNOFFICIAL translation of this law.
