Representatives from nearly 130 Chinese food enterprises, in Beijing for an international food security forum scheduled for Nov. 26-27, vowed Sunday to improve quality control.
In a written pledge, they promised to strengthen monitoring throughout the production process, resist using substandard raw materials, improve management and share quality-assurance experience and technology.
Another 300 or so domestic food companies joined the pledge by fax or e-mail.
China has about 448,000 food production and processing companies, which generated total output value of about $173 billion in the first half of this year, up 29.9 percent year-on-year.
The producers' pledge followed government efforts to improve quality standards, which cover seafood, eggs, vegetables, toothpaste and toys.
