The current situation of China’s food safety was analyzed， including the food safety recognition standard， establishment of legal system and supervision system. Conclusions are as follows： the food safety level of a country is subjectto the economic development， and the food safety standards， laws and regulations should be adjusted with the development of science， technology and social economy. The advantages of the current super-ministry system are clear responsibility， efficiency improvement and elimination of gray areas， but it is not professional enough. The safety evaluation of genetically modified food is stricter than that of ordinary food. It is unnecessary and impossible to fully prove that some certain food is completely safe， because the so-called absolutely safe food does not exist. There are potential safety problems in online shopping food. The operation and transportation of online shopping food need to be supervised. Small workshop enterprises are the inevitable outcome of the specific stage of China’s social and economic development， which attracted a large number of practitioners. The supervision of small workshop enterprises needs to find a new way. For the safety evaluation of health food， new resource food and other special food， the method of risk assessment should be introduced， so as to make the procedure reasonable， process compliant， result credible， and take into account the innovation of regulatory system and industry development.
