CCTV9英语新闻：麦当劳肯德基暂停上海肉类供应商（在线收听）

Food safety has always been an important topic in people's lives. CCTV correspondent Hu Chao has more on people's view of this scandal.

I think the government should strengthen its regulatory power. It’s a must, because they’re major chain food stores and a large number of people are eating there. It’s very important.

I think ultimately it’s a problem of supervision. So far there’s no department to supervise and manage the source of the food.

They should remember their social responsibility and be aware of food quality. Customers should raise their awareness to safeguard their legal rights and take legal action, and the government should intensify its regulations against illegal food production and increase the related penalties. The present penalty laws are too light to stop the fast food chains from repeating their mistakes.
