食品安全社会共治背景下公众参与机制的现状及完善

The situation and improvement of the public participation mechanism under the background of food safety social co-governance in China

新修订实施的《食品安全法》提出了食品安全社会共治原则,为中国食品安全治理指明了发展方向。在食品安全社会共治中,公众作为重要的参与主体是食品安全治理理论和实践的必然选择。当前,中国食品安全社会共治中公众参与的氛围正在逐渐形成,但实践中公众参与仍然面临组织化程度不高、参与互动性不足以及相关制度不完善等问题。不断完善公众参与食品安全社会共治的相关保障机制,有助于提高食品安全治理的效率,促进食品安全社会共治的实践发展。

The principle of food safety social co-governance was put forward in the newly revised and implemented China Food Safety Law, which points out the development direction for the food safety governance in China. The public, as the main participant of the food safety social co-governance, is the inevitable choice of the food safety governance in theory and practice. Currently, the atmosphere for the public participation in the food safety social co-governance is also gradually coming into being, but the public participation still is faced with many problems such as the low degree of the organization, lack of interactivity in participation, and imperfect regulations, etc. Therefore, the improving of the related safeguard mechanism on the public participation in the food safety social co-governance can increase the efficiency of the food safety governance, and promote the development of the food safety social co-governance practice.
