China takes new measure to restore confidence in dairy

China takes new measure to restore confidence in dairy: "Chinese dairy companies will have to renew production licenses or risk closure this year, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
News of the policy change comes from comments made at a conference in Beijing by the director of a government agency responsible for food safety.

Xinhua News Agency said Zhi Shuping of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine warned that dairy firms must obtain new production licenses this year or be closed.

The measure is designed to improve quality and safety in the domestic dairy industry. Confidence in the industry plummeted in 2008 when melamine-tainted milk products killed six children."
