FDA to put Agents in China

March 17, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
The Food and Drug Administration is to establish eight positions at US diplomatic missions in China over the next 18 months to carry out checks on Chinese food products, provided final approval comes from authorities in Beijing. The State Department has approved the move, which springs from ongoing concerns about the safety of food and food products from China. Washington and Beijing agreed to work together to improve food safety in December 2007. The agreement with China is part of the FDA's Beyond our Borders initiative which "facilitates the building of stronger cooperative relationships with the FDA's counterpart agencies around the world and enhanced technical cooperation with foreign regulators".
