Investigation Into Food Safety Management System And Authentification Rules In China

In this dissertation Chinese food safety management system is investigated from the perspective of supervision. Firstly, from the theoretical point of view the implementation process of food safety management system certification, the key check-points for the review of an existing system are developed, and a case study of a frozen shrimp manufacturer is carried out to demonstrate the key operational step and verify the systematic and scientific features of the system. Secondly, based on a large amount of investigation surveys, some detailed statistical analyses of the current operation situation of food safety management certification in China are made, showing a whole picture of it. Finally, using asymmetric information theory of information economics and game theory, public goods theory and public behavior theory of the government, problems arising from the operation are analyzed, and, thus, the policy proposals on how to establish the long-term effective supervision mechanism are made.In this dissertation an effort is made to carry out the present investigation, resulting in some innovations in theory and practice. This dissertation is different from existing studies in the following three areas: (1) Basically a framework for public administration of the food safety management system certification is set up. In term of the information economics, the character of the food safety certification is analyzed; In consideration of the general concept, has a clear definition of the food safety management system certification from the concept to operation is clearly defined; In regard to the credit mechanism, the principle for an effective operation and development is detailed and a preliminary theory evidence is provided. (2) Using a theory model, the administration system is analyzed. Based on the current supervision mechanism, some key and deep-rooted problems related to setting up market-oriented supervision system are taken into account, and guidance policy proposals to set up a long-term effective aspect are made to ensure the market operation such as to build up the credit system and supervise the certification bodies and the certification market. It is in this dissertation that the food safety management system certification is made more operational and forward-looking. (3) For the first time a complete survey of the qualified certification bodies and certified enterprises is conducted,...
