Law against use of chemicals in food

Now that the DS has actually started a series of reports on the mishandling, use of harmful chemicals and adulteration of food-items in this country, one would wonder why the government is not going for a new

clear-cut law against such irregularities. To save the nation, specially the children, from slow poisoning and mental/physical retardation, such a law is necessary without wasting even a single more day. Why do these things seem to be so difficult for our government to control and monitor? Why don't our "leaders" just look at the systems and regulations in place in the neighbouring countries?

Isn't there anything our policy makers can do or would want to do about these?
