Shanghai Creates Blacklist For Drug, Catering And Cosmetics Industries

Shanghai's FDA has formulated trial administrative measures to enhance supervision of illegal food and drug enterprises, along with relevant principals and their names. Starting in September, the city will officially implement a blacklist system in the fields of drugs, catering and cosmetics to promote trustworthiness in these industries. Companies and parties involved in serious food and drug safety incidents will be put on a blacklist linked to the city's industry and personal credit system. Those responsible for infractions may face expulsion from the industry up to a maximum period of 10 years. In addition, the agency will tighten supervision of illegal activities such as providing counterfeit materials, falsifying production records and forging authority's approval.
