A food safety overhaul will be carried out in schools across China to screen for safety hazards, a move prompted by a recent string of food poisonings.
The overhaul is meant to spot food-safety irregularities, such as the hiring of unlicensed caterers, poor disinfection methods, unscrupulous use of food additives or illegal use of nitrite, among other hazards.
Three food-poisoning accidents have occurred in schools in southwest Yunnan Province since March. In the most serious case, more than 300 children fell ill after eating lunch in a rural primary school on April 9.
As of 5pm Sunday, 10 students remained hospitalized.
The State Food and Drug Administration said if any practices are found to be illegal or in violation of relevant regulations, violators will be subject to harsh punishments.
