Commission on Food Safety

The Commission on Food Safety of the State Council (Chinese: 国务院食品安全委员会; pinyin: Guówùyuàn Shípǐn Ānquán Weǐyuánhuì) is a policy coordination committee with ultimate oversight on food safety in China. As it is an ad hoc coordination body it should not be confused with the established commissions and ministries which report into the State Council. The commission is headed by the Vice-Premier of the State Council, Zhang Gaoli, who is also a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China. The membership of the group consists mostly of vice-ministerial level officials.
