During that period, police destroyed 3,800 illegal factories and workshops manufacturing substandard, expired and counterfeit food and drugs, the ministry said. "Food safety is a major issue of concern for people and can affect the physical health and safety of 1.3 billion people across the country," said Lyu Wuqin, director of the food and drug crime investigation bureau of the ministry. "We will severely punish the suspects involved with food and drug-related crimes," he said. According to the ministry, police used big data to research and evaluate cases and collected valuable clues in the past five months. In addition, they worked closely with other departments to investigate food processing plants, restaurants and snack shops to uncover evidence and then capture suspects. |
