Food safety is one of China’s reform process, the most important issue at present, the legal system in which food traceability and food safety regulatory system is one of the important part. In simple terms, the legal system can help food traceability food information disclosure, to detect food safety problems, you can quickly identify the source of food safety problems after problems and timely accountable, reduce the incidence of food safety problems to the maximum extent, effective the food market to maintain order, ensure food safety, enhance our competitiveness in the international food market, import and export trade, and vigorously promote the improvement of food safety regulatory system to promote the construction of the food safety system has important significance. Europe and other developed regions in the legislative area food traceability system at the forefront of the world, we should learn from.This paper describes the food traceability system to pilot the country as the starting point, compared to discuss domestic and foreign food traceability system, the problems of our country are analyzed and put forward relevant proposals. It consists of four parts:The first part of the first is the theoretical analysis of the food traceability system for food traceability definition of a scientific defined. This section set forth by the characteristics of the food traceability system, points out that the food traceability system can help enterprises to enhance competitiveness, in the case of food safety accidents can quickly lock those responsible, to regulate the food market of business environment. Followed by the elaboration of the historical origins of food traceability system, as well as the theoretical basis of the analysis of food traceability system, the public interest theory, asymmetric information theory and the theory of government intervention. And finally introduce the significance of functional food traceability system and the establishment.The second part is an introduction to the establishment of food traceability Present situation of China’s legal system, including laws and regulations on food traceability China has promulgated, and parts of the initial establishment of food traceability system. Although the effect of a good part of the pilot, but the country is still struggling to implement, China’s current food issues are emerging, such as the regulatory body is not clear, traceable standards are not uniform, and so on. To establish a unified nationwide food traceability system remains to be done.The third part is some of the status of the legal system of food traceability countries Region, such as legislation to protect the United States, and closely unified food safety regulatory system as well as severe penalties. At the same time, through the phenomenon see the essence, to extract the common areas of these countries for the construction of the food safety system: a sound legal system is the cornerstone of science is to protect the regulator configuration, unified improve traceability standard is the core.The fourth part is the focus of this paper is mainly based on the status quo of the construction of the legal system of food traceability, by drawing on the advanced experience of other countries and regions, a number of recommendations and countermeasures. The main principles include the establishment of food traceability legal system, improve laws and regulations, regulatory bodies and powers explicitly proposed retroactive harmonization of standards as well as specific measures retroactive, and so on.Finally, again pointing to the food traceability system for enhancing the importance of food safety regulatory standards and called on the state, society will pay attention to and actively take measures.
