However, with the changing of social environment, food safety showed new characteristics. Food safety incidents occur frequently in recent years, among which food safety problems in villages and towns are particularly prominent. Original government behavior, legal norms and safety regulation system cannot effectively curb this trend. At present, our government has realized the importance of public participation for food safety regulation in villages and towns.
