From the perspective of China's criminal law practices and their effectiveness in addressing food safety issues, the main deficiencies in the current criminal regulation of food safety in China are manifested in three areas: the unreasonable classification of offenses within chapters, the absence of provisions for negligent crimes, and the lack of a mandatory qualification penalty, along with the rigidity of the prohibition order. In response, this article proposes improvement to the current criminal regulation of food safety by reasonably determining the classification of offenses within chapters, scientifically adding specific provisions for negligent crimes, and optimizing the design of the qualification penalty and prohibition order within the criminal punishment system.
