Abstract:

The food recall system plays an important role in the maintenance of public safety and health. In this paper, we compared the regulatory, legal supports, recall procedures and other aspects of food recall systems between our country and some developed countries, and analyzed some similar characteristics of the more comprehensive food recall systems in the United States, Canada and other countries. There is still a gap between China's food recall system and developed countries.

Key words: food recall, food safety law, food recall regulations
