Expired and dirty food, potentially poisonous liquor, dangerous chicken meat, toxic medicine capsules, gutter oil… China's TV screen have been dominated by news about various food safety scandals in 2012.
To that end, the government has been moving to try to fight food safety problems.
In June, the Chinese government released a five-year plan to upgrade its food safety regulations.
Shen Kui is the deputy director of Peking University's School of Law.
"Public management refers to food manufacturers, food retailers and consumers, as well as industry associations. In addition, non-profit organizations are key, as they are well suited to discovering food safety problems and revealing them. But of course, the government has to play a leading role in dealing with food safety concerns."
Food Safety experts have been recommending the government enhance food safety supervision by setting up a mechanism that covers the entire food chain.
Experts are also recommending a rigid food recall and destruction system for defective products, on top of "severe penalties" for those who violate food safety laws.
Qiu Baochang is a lawyer with the China Consumers Association.
"Based on China's criminal code, people who add toxic or harmful substances into food can be given death penalty. However, it doesn't mean all food safety threats constitute crimes. Circumstances vary. But when it does constitute a crime, severe penalties should be handed down. But it's more than simply having laws. Other measures are also needed, including raising public awareness about food safety."
