The effective solution is to improve the new food safety governance mechanism participated jointly by government, market and the third party organization. This paper holds the idea that we should further improve the related legal system, strengthen the regulation of food safety and the control of the regulators with the courage and insight of rectifying the“four winds”among the leading cadres, establish a severe punishment mechanism of lifelong ban from business towards those who produce and operate the unqualified food knowingly, on this basis a business self-discipline mechanism should be established. At the same time, we should further standardize and strengthen the food safety governance behaviors involving news media and other third party organizations, guard against the willful violation of the legal benefit of the food enterprises, so as to effectively promote food safety management level in China.
