Features: This book serves as an important reference for food safety regulatory departments at all levels of government, an indispensable tool for food science researchers, promoters, and educators, and also holds significant reference value for the food industry. Ensuring food safety is not only a fundamental requirement for protecting people's lives and health and improving their quality of life but also a crucial foundation for enhancing the competitiveness of China's agricultural and food industries and promoting China's food exports. To strengthen the construction of China's food safety assurance system, the Development Research Center of the State Council and the Ministry of Science and Technology organized experts from more than 50 domestic institutions to conduct interdisciplinary and cross-departmental research on China's food safety strategy. The book "Research on China's Food Safety Strategy" presented to the readers is the main outcome of this research. The book systematically studies China's food safety from various perspectives, including international experiences in food safety regulation, actions of major food safety regulatory departments, the food safety support system, process control in food safety, food safety of major categories, food safety of genetically modified organisms, technical barriers to trade and food safety, etc. Based on summarizing domestic and international food safety regulatory experiences, it proposes strategic goals for China's food safety and long-term and medium-term development ideas.
