China to implement new dairy products standards

China will soon put into effect 66 new national safety standards for dairy products that are completely consistent with international standards, said Chen Rui, a senior official from the Ministry of Health on July 13.

All related departments led by the Ministry of Health began to refine the previous more than 160 dairy products safety standards into 66 new standards starting in late 2008.

The Ministry of Health will now accelerate the smooth integration of the new food safety standards and establish a national food safety standard system.
