Bush tackles scares over imports

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6905372.stm

US President George W Bush has set up a panel to look at the safety of food and other products imported into the US.

The measure follows a series of scares in the US involving fish, seafood, toothpaste, toys and tyres from China.

The White House has denied the move is aimed specifically at China, saying it is important to check all imports.

Beijing has accused foreign media of exaggerating problems with Chinese products, but has admitted that safety standards need to improve.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also faced criticism over its ability to monitor the safety of goods consumed in the US.
