The government and food industry are facing unprecedented challenges. The question of how to ensure the food safety has become a pressing problem to test social management ability of the government.
Effective pest control is one of the preconditions to ensure food safety. As one expert on public affair said, “The whole process in the food processing industry has to be protected by the pest management programme. However, the problem is that, some enterprises may have not realized it. And when they do, it is already too late.”
