Abstract
A Chinese saying: “The foundation of any country is people, the fundamental issue of people is food.” “People’s food” safety matters fundamentally with the health and life safety of people and the economic development and social harmony. In recent years, with the frequent occurrence of food safety incidents, food safety has become a focus issue of current social discussion. The series work on food safety has illustrated the thinking of “people first” and social harmony. What is the dilemma of food safety in China and what is the way out?
