Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt spoke at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Washington D.C. headquarters yesterday and announced that the United States will sign an agreement with China next week on safety standards for imported food, animal feed, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals. The agreement will require China to produce these imports in accordance with American safety and quality standards, Leavitt said.

The announcement follows months of safety recalls on a variety of products from China, and ongoing talks between the two governments.
