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. The membership of the group consists mostly of vice-ministerial level officials.
