During the meeting, the participating enterprises signed "Chinese Enterprises' Letter of Commitment on Food Safety", which was jointly promoted by entrepreneurs including Huiyuan Group's president Zhu Xinli and supported by concerned Chinese departments including AQSIQ. In the letter, the enterprises pledged to build and enhance their awareness of making food safety a top priority and be the most important obligation undertaken to ensure food safety.
This is the first food safety commitment that has ever been signed by Chinese enterprises.
