On June 12, the 2009 China Food Safety High-level Forum with the theme of "Food Safety: On the Road to Law and Responsibility" was held in Beijing. Li Yuan, Director of the Administrative Office of the Legal Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said at the forum that my country must Establish a unified, authoritative and mandatory food safety standard to achieve the goal of food safety control.

        Li Yuan said that in the past, we focused on pre-approval and permitting, conducting random inspections and inspections during the incident, and punishing and disposing of problems found. This traditional supervision method of external tracking has changed to focusing on food risk monitoring and risk assessment. As a whole-process supervision system for food from production to dinner table and from farmland to dinner table based on the establishment of food safety standards, this is a very important issue in our "Food Safety Law".

        Li Yuan said that in the implementation of the Food Safety Law, first of all attention and main energy will be used to establish our country's food safety standards as soon as possible. Establishing a unified food safety standard is a key aspect of our law. The Food Safety Law uses the term food safety standards from beginning to end, but my country does not yet have a food safety standard. The current food safety standards are the "Agricultural Product Quality Standards", "Food Hygiene Standards", and "Food Safety Standards". Product Quality Standards" and some mandatory local standards and industry standards. Therefore, our country must establish a unified, authoritative and mandatory Chinese food safety standard to ensure that enterprises produce in accordance with food safety standards, and that the regulatory authorities conduct supervision in accordance with food safety standards to achieve the goal of food safety control.

        Since last year, my country has frequently encountered the problem of the abuse of food additives. In this regard, Li Yuan said that the main hazard of the current food safety problem is the abuse of additives and the illegal addition of toxic and harmful substances to food, causing serious safety hazards and food safety accidents. . my country will strengthen the regulation of food additives in terms of controlling the inherent safety factors of food, which will also become the focus of the entire food safety supervision in the future.
