Legal system construction of the public participation in food safety public interest litigation in China

公众参与食品安全公益诉讼是食品安全社会共治的重要体现。目前中国还没有明确的公众参与食品安全公益诉讼法律制度规定,相关的理论和司法实践还处在探索发展阶段。结合中国公益诉讼司法实践的发展现状,应当在赋予公众参与食品安全公益诉讼的法律主体地位,明确公众参与食品安全公益诉讼的适用范围,设置公众参与食品安全公益诉讼的程序规则以及完善公众参与食品安全公益诉讼的激励机制等方面建立和完善公众参与食品安全公益诉讼的相关法律制度,不断推动食品安全社会共治局面的形成和发展。
