Abstract:

The revision of the Food Safety Law authorized local legislation concerning “Three Smalls” (small food
workshops, small vendors and small restaurants). This mode is conducive to the flexibility of local legislation and fluency
of law enforcement. But due to being constrained by the Legislation Law’s strict provisions on authorized legislation, it
does not make a provision about objectives, principles, scope and duration. This kind of regulation always lacks legitimacy.
Therefore, this article suggests making clear the connotation and denotation of the law concept of “Three Smalls”,
establishing the accessibility and punishment mechanisms, enlarging the scope of public participation in local legislation and
promoting the authorized legislation concerning “Three Smalls”.

Key words: Food Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China, food safety, “Three Smalls”, authorized legislation
