When it comes to food safety, the public wants to be reassured that the food is nutritious, readily available and is as fresh as possible.

At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), General Secretary Xi Jinping called for a “healthy China.”

Based on the Party's blueprint, the government has put in place several new policies designed to address and hopefully face down the challenges of food safety and sustainable development.

And more importantly, the government has focused on making sure the manufacturers use environmentally- friendly methods for producing quality food.

Chang Yi, chairman of Sanyuan Food Company, said, “The whole industry chain is being continuously checked, from the front line to the procedure. We have a highly international standard when it comes to the manufacturing process. We also develop our technologies to safeguard our food standards in order to satisfy the needs of consumers.”

Manufacturers are using new and natural methods to grow their crops and make their products.

In plantations they have been using certain insects to eliminate or control other pests, instead of applying chemicals. The indoor farms are heavily monitored and are kept at room temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.

And in the livestock centers they even go a step further and play classical music for the animals, for them to be more relaxed and comfortable, as they sip their warm water.

Fundamentally the main similarity among these companies is the strict monitoring processes they have in place, to ensure they produce the healthiest and highest quality of food for their customers.
