俐媽高三指考新聞英文Part 8: Food Safety Crisis
(指考戰士"再撐一下"是口號，但還是趁最後時間再充實一下自己卡實在，再來一篇新聞英文吧！)
The recent food safety crisis could serve as a turning point for the nation’s food industry if the government, manufacturers (製造商), wholesalers (量販業者) and the public make a joint effort to resolve (解決) the situation, the Taiwan Association for Food Science and Technology said on Monday at a forum on food safety.
All the representatives (代表) of civic (公民的) groups present at the forum (平台) agreed that it is the government’s duty to ensure (確保) the safety of food “from the field to the table,” which it can achieve by strengthening and rigorously (嚴格地) enforcing (執行) food regulations (規則), providing transparent (透明的) and free access to food safety information, and adhering to (固守) international food safety standards (標準), the association said in a statement.
Lucy Sun, a National Taiwan University professor of food science and technology and a honorary (榮譽的) member of the association’s board, urged the government to immediately take three critical steps: First, it should eradicate (根除) the presence of harmful chemicals in food products by writing into law severe (嚴重的) criminal punishments for those who violate regulations.
Second, it should launch (發起) a whistle-blowing platform to encourage the reporting of dubious (可疑的) practices, with rewards and protection offered to informants.
Third, the government should establish a “food police force, who can accompany food sanitation (衛生) and safety inspectors (檢查員) when they conduct (進行) spot checks at factories,” Sun said.
According to a report presented by the Food and Drug Administration at the 2011 National Food Safety Conference, there are 102,202 registered (註冊) food manufacturers, and 263,293 food stalls and registered food businesses nationwide.
