Food safety problem
In recent years, China's economy has developed rapidly, and the overall income level of the people has improved significantly. With the increase of family income, people gradually began to enjoy life, paying more attention to three meals a day, snacks, milk and so on. From this point of view, China's food industry has made unprecedented development. At present, there are many kinds of food on the market, and the food industry has become an important part of national economic development.
The analysis of the current situation of food safety in China points out that although China's food industry is developing rapidly, food safety problems emerge one after another in the process of development, which seriously threatens the health of the broad masses of people. Major food safety issues such as Sudan red industrial additives incident, melamine incident, lean meat incident, gutter oil incident, Jinhua dichlorvos ham incident, and poisonous day lily incident have sounded the alarm for people. Food safety is related to people's health and life safety, the development of the country and the long-term stability of society. Therefore, we must take food safety seriously and create a safe food safety market.

According to the analysis of the current situation of food safety in China, the food safety problems in China mainly have the following three characteristics: 1. There are more and more problem foods in the market, which have seriously threatened people's health. In the past, the problem foods in China only appeared in rice flour, grain and oil, meat, eggs, poultry, vegetables, aquatic products and bean products. Now fruit, wine, dry goods, dairy products, roasted seeds and nuts have also become the key categories of problem foods, and problem foods are becoming more and more extensive. 2. The problem food is not limited to expiration and deterioration, but also new problems such as the total number of bacteria, pesticides, fertilizers and chemical residues exceeding the standard, which are more and more serious and threaten people's health and life safety. 3. In order to make money, some manufacturers who lack morality and conscience produce all kinds of toxic and harmful foods, and the means of counterfeiting are innovative and varied.
Analyzing the current situation of food safety problems in China, the main reasons leading to food safety problems are the lack of government supervision, consumers' weak awareness of rights protection and imperfect legal guarantee system.

1. Lack of government supervision
Food manufacturing in China started late, and most of them are small family workshops, lacking social responsibility and social morality. The quality level of managers is generally low, production equipment and technology are backward, and they do not have the ability of inspection and quarantine. However, the relevant government regulatory authorities have relaxed their due regulatory functions, connived at these food production enterprises' poisoning and counterfeiting, and produced food with serious problems, which poses a great threat to people's health.
2. Consumers lack awareness of rights protection
China's relevant market mechanism is not perfect, resulting in consumers unable to understand the specific producers, processors and sellers of food, and it is easy to buy unqualified food when buying food. Many consumers have no habit of asking for receipts, receipts, invoices and other bills after buying food. When there is something wrong with food, most people choose to spend money to buy a lesson and think they are unlucky, which makes many food production enterprises ignore the law at will. In addition, China's political and legal system makes it difficult for consumers to defend their rights. Problems such as nowhere to defend rights, no one paying attention to rights protection, ineffective rights protection, and difficult claims make consumers reluctant to defend rights. All these factors lead to the weak awareness of most food consumers in China.
3. The legal guarantee system is not perfect.
China has promulgated the Food Safety Law, but the legal guarantee system is not perfect. Although there are relevant laws and regulations, the boundaries with functional departments are unclear, the supervision authority is unclear, the operability is not high, and the management is chaotic. Small food safety problems are generally ignored. Only when a major or extraordinarily serious food safety accident occurs, causing heavy losses to people's lives and property, will it attract the attention of relevant departments and seriously affect the development of food safety in China.
