Abstract: This paper compares various legislative modes for edible agricultural product regulation and analyzes the factors that may lead to failure to achieve the expected effect of the current legislative modes for edible agricultural product regulation when implemented in practice. Herein we propose that the fundamental factor is confusion of edible agricultural products with general agricultural products in the regulating objects, neglecting the particularity of edible agricultural products and leading to difficulty in meeting the requirements of social co-government, strict regulation and product traceability. Meanwhile, when the Agricultural Product Quality Safety Law is merged in isolation into the Food Safety Law, the overlapping of the regulating objects of the two laws may be neglected. In order to enhance regulatory chain integration and improve edible agricultural product quality regulation, this paper recommends that the articles concerning edible agricultural products in the Agricultural Product Quality Safety Law be merged into the Food Safety Law.

Key words: edible agricultural products, agricultural products, food safety, merger legislation
