CHENGDU, Mar. 26 (Xinhua) -- Luzhou Laojiao, a well-known Chinese baijiu producer, unveiled a white paper on its product quality and safety on Sunday.

According to the white paper, in 2017, Luzhou Laojiao took measures to ensure food quality and safety through “multi-system linkage, three-dimensional management and control, and all-round cooperation”, and achieved 100-percent qualification rate in product tests by China Food and Drug Administration.

In 2017, Luzhou Laojiao established more than 200 corporate standards stricter than the national standards. It meanwhile reinforced the “three-level quality and safety supervision mechanism” involving the production units, the quality control teams and the on-site inspection teams, and introduced the near infrared online monitoring in key processes, an important step towards smart production.
