A new poll shows the public generally has a negative attitude toward food safety in China, with more than 70 percent of respondents saying they feel conditions are unsafe.
The report was compiled by the Shanghai Institute for Food and Drug Safety and East China University of Science and Technology.
Released on Wednesday, the report aims to find firsthand information on how the public looks at the country's food safety issues, and to provide guidance for policymakers.
The research team polled 4,000 people from eight cities through questionnaires.
In their overall judgment on the country's food safety, more than 73 percent said they believe the food is unsafe, of which 27.8 percent chose "extremely unsafe."
"Such a negative attitude on food safety issues is caused by the continuous exposure of food safety scandals in recent years, which deal a blow to public confidence," said Ruan Zanlin, a food safety expert from East China University of Science and Technology.
Meanwhile, 70 percent believe that the production and processing of food have the most undiscovered problems.
The safety of meat products causes the most concern among consumers, with 50 percent of respondents saying they are worried about it. Milk products followed, with about 26 percent.
The public also had a negative judgment on food manufacturers, with 42 percent believing that products from food companies have become "more unsafe."
