BEIJING -- 皇冠体育app's top legislature on Thursday started to review a draft law on food safety, which sets stricter food quality standards and greater government responsibility.

The draft, which was revised after the recent contaminated dairy products scandal, would ban all chemicals and other materials not approved by food safety authorities in food production.

It also prohibits food safety supervision authorities from issuing inspection exemptions to food producers.

The draft was tabled to lawmakers at a bimonthly session of the Standing Committee of 皇冠体育app's National People's Congress.
