Implementing the principle of consumer priority is necessary to solve the food safety problems.And China's food safety regulatory system revolution also provides the conditions for the implementation.Now the absence of consumer priority principle in our food safety regulatory system and mechanism results in China's food safety regulatory facing five problems, such as absence of government regulation , sector interests priority , regulatory incentives distorted, inadequate punishment on illegal behavior, low-efficiency information disclosure and lack of consumer education.Drawing on the food safety regulation experience of developed countries like U.S., EU and Japan, this paper points out that we should make con-sumer priority principle clear in food safety regulatory legally , and implement the principle of consumer priority in regulatory penalty system, information disclosure system and consumer education system to improve China's food safety regulation.
