Agricultural Products. In this study, based on a detailed analysis of the legislative principle, system design and mechanism
innovation of the Revised Food Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China, three suggestions are put forward on revising
the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Quality and Safety of Agricultural Products.
