Abstract:

Considerable progress has been made in six aspects of the Revised Draft of the Food Safety Law, namely
reforming the current supervision system and transforming government functions, strengthening the primary responsibility of
enterprises, intensifying local governments’ responsibility of for food safety supervision, developing innovative regulatory
mechanisms, improving co-regulation for food safety governance, and severely punishing illegal activities. However, there
are some defects in several aspects of the Food Safety Law, including legal position, management and application of food
safety risks and food safety standards, food production and management personnel vocational qualification system,
market exit, and administrative penalties. We should improve and solve these defects or problems in order to perfect
the Food Safety Law.

Key words: Revised Draft of the Food Safety Law, food safety risk assessment, food safety standard, food production and management personnel vocational qualification
