“最朴实的食品是最安全的，加了很多色素的食品可能是不安全的” 食品安全法、刑法修正案(七)新闻发布会热点聚焦
“现在有一个说法是OMP对人体无害。即使无害，按照规定，首先要经过安全性评估，证明对身体无害，列入食品添加剂名录，才能使用。”针对目前社会各界议论纷纷的蒙牛OMP风波，全国人大常委会法工委副主任信春鹰明确表示。

全国人大常委会今天表决通过了备受关注的食品安全法、刑法修正案(七)和保险法。在随后举行的新闻发布会上，信春鹰作上述表示。

信春鹰指出:“问题奶粉事件可能有很多环节上的问题，但是一个很重要的就是往牛奶中添加了三聚氰胺。”

据她介绍，我国从1995年颁布并实施食品卫生法以后，“制定了大约100多个食品行业的规章500多个卫生标准，大体上说法律法规是健全的”。尽管如此，多年来还是存在一些弊病，滥用添加剂就是其中之一。

三鹿奶粉事件的发生，又一次给食品添加剂敲响了警钟。对此，食品安全法作出了异常严格的规定。首先，国家对食品添加剂的生产实行许可制度，没有经过许可的，不可以作为添加剂来添加。同时进一步规定，食品添加剂应该在技术上确有必要且经过风险评估证明安全可靠，才可列入允许使用的范围。

Image China Files WTO Complaints Over US Poultry Ban

 Updated April 17, 2009 08:01 PM

GENEVA (Xinhua) - China filed complaints to the World Trade Organization (WTO) today about a US law effectively banning imports of Chinese poultry products, saying the law may violate WTO regulations.

Pursuant to Section 727 of the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009, which was already signed into law, the United States effectively prohibits the establishment or implementation of any measures that would allow poultry products to be imported from China, the Chinese WTO mission said.

China is concerned that Section 727 places restrictions on the import from China of poultry products that are inconsistent with the United States' WTO obligations, it added.

Protecting U.S. Food Supply May Be Costly, Groups Say Protecting U.S. Food Supply May Be Costly, Gro  Additional rules designed to improve food safety in the U.S. will add costs for businesses and may not be effective, food-industry groups said.

Scares involving the potentially deadly E. coli bacteria, salmonella, listeria and other threats have harmed consumer confidence, prompting industry support for some tougher measures, J. Patrick Boyle, the president of the American Meat Institute, said today at a congressional hearing. The added cost to defend the food supply may be burdensome, he said.

“Only industry can provide safe food,” and voluntary collaboration with government will do more to protect consumers than additional rules, Boyle told the House Agriculture Committee. Boyle’s group represents Tyson Foods Inc., the biggest U.S. meat processor, and other meatpackers.

Congress is increasing the food-safety budget to add inspection resources and considering more than a dozen proposals to combat food-borne illness. They include legislation, approved by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, to grant the Food and Drug Administration authority to order food recalls even when a company refuses to cooperate.
