Special Report:   3rd China-U.S. SED

China and the US have signed an agreement on food safety. It establishes a food safety report mechanism-- the first of its kind between the two countries.

According to the Food and Feed Accord, China and the US are to strengthen cooperation on food supervision and share more information. When discovering any health threatening or consumer-cheating activities, one country should report to the other within 48 hours.

The accord will cover some preserved foods, pet foods and farm-raised fish. The accord was the centerpiece of 14 different agreements worked on over the last several months and completed in the last few days.
