Abstract: In order to provide suggestions for the national strategy on safety control of food products with TFA, the regulations of TFA in food products in the United States, European Union (EU), Canada, Japan and South Korea were analyzed and compared in terms of management concepts, models, institutions and procedures. Perfect regulation systems and clear management programs have been established in many developed countries and their supervision and management strategies for newly found substances causing potential food safety risks are generally effective, advanced and typical. China should learn from advanced experience, formulate and improve relevant law and standard systems, release operative supervision and management regulations and practical safeguard measures, and strengthen TFA safety evaluation and testing levels.

Key words: TFA, hydrogenated vegetable oil, food safety, comparison and analysis, management measures
