“Recently, some media, actually quite a few, have wantonly reported on the so-called lack of safety of Chinese food products,” said Li Yuanping, deputy head of the food safety import and export division of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.
However, he purportedly told reporters at a news conference in Beijing, 99% of Chinese food exports to the US in the last three years met quality standards.
“Looking at these statistics, you can see (media reports) have been whipped up,” Li added. “One company’s problems does not make it a China problem. If some food is below standard, you can’t say all Chinese food is unsafe.”
