Citizens in this east China metropolis can now access
information on food safety problems via an authoritative website
launched Wednesday.
Operated by the Shanghai municipal food and drug administration,
the website at http://www.spaq.sh.cn will provide
safety warnings, consumption suggestions, expert advice,
demonstration of food safety cases, food science and technology,
and relevant rules and regulations, according to officials with the
administration.
The website, the first authoritative one of its kind in
Shanghai, will also regularly publicize a blacklist of unsafe food
categories and companies violating rules and regulations in the
sector, in an effort to provide a safe living environment for local
residents.
