Chen Wenqing stressed the need to uphold strict law enforcement, focusing on key areas such as meat products, campus food, health food, vegetables and fruits, and on key links such as production and processing, online sales, terminal catering, and food imports, and to punish illegal and criminal acts endangering food safety across the entire chain. It is necessary to strengthen the linkage between administrative and criminal enforcement, actively communicate with departments such as market regulation and agriculture and rural affairs, improve the two-way linkage mechanism between administrative penalties and criminal penalties, establish an information sharing platform, and strengthen law-based governance of food safety. It is necessary to promote comprehensive rectification, consolidate the primary responsibilities of all parties, improve whole-chain supervision of food safety, and strictly prevent, strictly manage, and strictly control food safety risks. It is necessary to improve laws and regulations, accelerate the comprehensive revision of the Food Safety Law, clarify provisions on production standards, licensing use, and determination of responsibility for new business forms such as fresh food e-commerce, food delivery, and livestream selling, and firmly hold the bottom line of food safety.
