Abstract: At present, China’s food inspection and testing mainly concentrate in food processing, packaging and sale, so that supervision over the food production process is lacking, and the regulation of the large number of production and operation entities and of the intertwining of various risks is ineffective. The cost of controlling food quality and safety by means of inspection and testing is high, and a large amount of data has not been fully utilized, causing lack of effective support for quality control in food processing. This article summarizes the current status of research on food inspection and quality control in China, analyzes the existing problems and puts forward some suggestions such as strengthening the ability to analyze and mine data, finding the law of food safety risks, targeted detection of high-risk indicators according to the law, improving the detection efficiency and the risk control ability, and guiding the monitoring and management of food safety risks. Research on quality control in food processing by comprehensive application of test data can promote the development of quality control in food processing, which can in turn improve the level of risk control and ensure food safety.
