It gives them the chance of making the food of poor quality,” an old man said in the shop. “ I hope our government not only gives it up, but also makes some strong rules to manage the companies,” a young woman told us. “ The important point is our government should send officers to the companies and check their food every time,” a shop owner said. A young expert of food safety said, “ The department of government should take the food from the shop or supermarket and check, not ask them to send. In that way, we can get the real checking.”
