2016年英语四级模考作文范文：Food Contamination

As is vividly shown in the picture, no sooner had a man opened a can of instant food than a devil, a symbol of potential food safety hazard, jumped out from it. He is freaked out and falls nearly to the ground.

Apparently, the picture reflects that the food safety problems are posing a great threat to the public health. Recently, more and more money-oriented manufacturers resort to illegal means to seek for profit. They betray their conscience by adding harmful food additives to make food taste delicious or cost less. As a result, many consumers are infected with severe illness after having tainted food.

Therefore, immediate measures should be taken to ensure food safety. To begin with, the government should establish a long-term surveillance system to guarantee food quality and safety. What’s more, laws and regulations should be applied to the punishment of dishonest manufacturers. Last but not least, on the part of consumers, they should realize the importance of food safety and take legal actions to defend their rights and interests.
