China gave a new food safety law on Saturday, tougher regulations and severe punishment for makers of bad products after tainted products showed serious flaws in the food industry. The law goes into effect June 1. China's government has been trying to restore confidence in the country's food system since September that infant formula was contaminated with melamine. The tainted milk is blamed in the deaths of at least six Chinese babies and the sickening of nearly 300,000 others. China's current system of splitting food safety responsibilities among many different agencies has resulted in uneven enforcement and confusion.

On the surface, the China government looks committed to get tough with employer whom disregard food safety.
But I think the government needs to educate the entire nation that tainting with food products should be severely punished.
It must also be built into the culture of Chinese people and not only to earn more money in the shortest possible time.
