China's Asian neighbors are raising concerns about the safety of food from China, taking actions including increased inspections and banning imports from the country. In Hong Kong, which, as a "special administrative region" is substantially autonomous from China, hen-egg imports were temporarily suspended last year. Officials had become concerned that potentially cancer-causing Sudan dyes - synthetic chemical dyes used for coloring hydrocarbon solvents, oils, fats, waxes and plastics - were used in Chinese poultry feed to enhance yolk color.

China: Safety chief resigns BEIJING -- The head of China's food safety watchdog resigned Monday for failing to stop the widespread contamination of baby formula as the number of children sickened in the scandal soared to nearly 53,000, including four infants who died. The shake-up came as investigators revealed that China's biggest producer of powdered milk, Sanlu Group Co., had received complaints as early as December 2007 linking its infant formula to illnesses in babies.

TARANAKI appears to have missed the worst of the lead- contaminated cornflour scare, but shoppers are still being advised to check their cupboards. The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) is investigating lead contamination in a 6000-tonne shipment of cornflour imported from China last year.
This study examines the cause of the Melamine Scandal, a major food safety crisis that took place in China in 2008. Drawing upon game theory, it focuses on the interplay between two major stakeholders in the process of enforcement of food safety regulations-the regulatory agency of the government, and the public, which consumes manufactured or processed food products. The authors found that the Melamine Scandal was a symptom of malfunctioning of the mechanism of food safety controls in China. The reason for the lack of efficient regulations was that the compensation structure failed to provide the regulators enough incentive to perform their duty.

BEIJING -- The discovery has punched a 170-ton hole in China's promises to overhaul its food safety system. Officials say they've found yet another case where large amounts of tainted milk powder from the country's 2008 scandal that should have been destroyed were instead repackaged. China ordered tens of thousands of milk products laced with an industrial chemical burned or buried after more than 300,000 children were sickened and at least six died from the contamination. But, crucially, the government did not carry out the eradication itself, and this month an emergency crackdown has made it clear that tons of compromised products are still on the market.
