基于消费者视角探究食品添加剂安全使用问题的治理策略

Exploration of the governance strategy of food additive safety use from the perspective of consumers

食品添加剂是现代食品生产加工不可或缺的重要物质,它的安全使用关系着食品工业的健康发展。近年来,食品添加剂安全风险事件对消费者的身体健康、主观认知和心理感受影响较大,使得食品添加剂安全使用问题受到社会的广泛关注。基于消费者视角分析,社会共治理论是符合消费者期望和现实需要的食品安全治理理论,科学构建社会共治体系是治理食品添加剂安全使用问题和保障食品工业健康发展的有效途径。在此方面,既要发挥社会力量以弥补政府监管力量的不足,也要注重伦理道德和社会责任对法律制度和技术标准的补充作用。通过完善法律制度和加强行政监管,强化企业责任和加强行业自律,加强社会监督和优化风险交流,食品添加剂安全使用问题的治理状况将得到改善。

Food additives are an indispensable and important substance in modern food production and processing, and their safe use is related to the healthy development of the food industry. In recent years, food additive safety risk incidents have had great impacts on consumer physical health, subjective cognition, and psychological feelings, making issues of food additive safety use widely concern by society. Based on the analysis from the perspective of consumers, the social co-governance theory is a food safety governance theory that meets consumer expectations and practical needs, and the scientific construction of a social co-governance system is an effective way to deal with food additive safety use and ensure the healthy development of the food industry. In this regard, it is necessary not only to exert social forces to make up for the lack of government supervision but also to pay attention to the complementary role of ethics and social responsibility to legal systems and technical standards. By improving the legal system and strengthening administrative supervision, strengthening corporate responsibility and industry self-discipline, strengthening social supervision, and optimizing risk communication, the governance situation of food additive safety use will be improved.
