Correct mistakes if you have made any and guard against them if you have not. For the substandard products, the food and drug regulatory departments of Liaoning, Shanghai, Fujian, Hunan and other provinces (municipalities), where the producing enterprises are located, have ordered the enterprises to ascertain the product flow, recall the substandard products, and analyze the causes and carry out rectification; the food and drug regulatory departments of Shanghai, Zhejiang and other provinces (municipalities), where the operating units are located, have required the relevant units to immediately take measures such as removing the products from shelves, control risks, and investigate and punish according to law. The investigation and punishment results shall be reported to the State Food and Drug Administration before September 30, 2016 and announced to the public.
