The agreement is intended to encourage the sharing of confidential scientific and other information between EFSA and the FDA, such as methodologies to ensure that food is safe.

This is good news considering the
massive amounts of food safety problems recently reported concerning China (where it seems like everything but Americans are made). But the Chinese people are no happier about it than the rest of us apparently:

"There's a great deal of concern, a great deal of anger as well at the government for what appears to them to be a lack of concern about food and health safety standards -- basic things that for a while, Chinese people took for granted."

Doesn't sound that different from us. The FDA is a failure as a regulatory body
often favoring businesses over people.
It's too bad that the Chinese system of
punishing corrupt agency directors can't be used here 🙂
