China central authority reviews food safety regulation at provincial-level

According to the document, the State Council food safety committee will oversee the assessment and an office under the committee will work with other authorities to conduct the inspections. A final assessment report will be issued by the central authorities and local governments' performance will be rated into three grades.

Leading officials with governments that receive the lowest rating will be summoned to talks with officials of the food safety office or other central authorities, and they may even have to face the leaders of the State Council if necessary.
