illegally used dichlorvos to disinfect catering outlets, the State Council
Office for Food Safety has placed the case under priority supervision. It said
it will form a joint working group with the State Administration for Market
Regulation and the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention to conduct
on-site supervision and guidance of case handling, punish violations in
