At present, China has preliminarily established a food safety supervision system for imports and exports, with the current 21 year Food Safety Law as the basic law and the inspection and quarantine department as the main regulatory body. However, there are still problems such as low food safety standards, low management and technical level of regulatory departments, and lack of necessary coordination with major trading partners. In this regard, we can optimize and construct the legal supervision of China's import and export food safety from the dimensions of building scientific food safety standards that are in line with international standards, strengthening the management and technical capacity building of regulatory authorities, and establishing a food safety notification and coordination mechanism with major trading partners.
