Abstract: Food is the paramount necessity of the people, and safety is most essential for food. Food safety is related to people’s fundamental interests, affecting people’s basic health. It is an important factor in promoting people’s livelihood development and social progress. Compared with European countries and the United States with developed food safety supervision systems, the development of food safety supervision system in China is still relatively backward. As food safety supervision is not in place, food safety incidents have occurred in recent years, so that public’s panic about food safety has intensified. It has a strong impact on social stability and the food economy. Thus, strengthening the construction of food safety supervision system is imperative. Since experiencing a series of food safety incidents, the EU has gradually improved its food safety supervision system and has developed the most comprehensive and mature food safety supervision system in the world. On the basis of sorting out the characteristics of EU’s food safety supervision system, the development direction of China’s food safety supervision system is proposed from four aspects: supervisor, legal system, law enforcement ability and safety standards.
