at 7:30 p.m.
Refreshments following the presentation
Everyone is welcome.*
China is known around the world for the excellence of its cuisine. But recently China has had several serious and embarrassing lapses in food safety. A scandal involving tainted milk was revealed just prior to the 2008 Olympics putting the lives of many children at risk. And videos consistently circulate on the internet alleging that the food chain in China is not secure. How great is the danger to Chinese (and foreign) consumers, and what is the Chinese government doing to ensure that everybody can have confidence in the quality of Chinese food supplies? Professor Josephine Smart will discuss the myths and the reality of food safety in China.
