Product safety chief bites bullet as contamination fears grow
China’s top food safety official has quit as the fallout from the country’s dairy contamination scandal continues.
Li Changjiang, the head of China’s food-safety watchdog, resigned after “taking the blame for supervision default,” the country’s Xinhua news agency reported.
At least three children have died and a further 50,000 have been laid low since news of the contamination first hit the headlines in mid-September.
Nestle is one of a number of high profile companies now embroiled in a scandal that has once again brought product safety to the fore in China.
Mr Li, who has spent much of his tenure defending the reputation of Chinese products, is, to date, the highest ranking official to leave his post as a result of the scare.
