First, ensuring food safety is the responsibility of every organization and individual involved in food production and business.
Second, food production and business are conditional activities; organizations and individuals engaged in food production and business must be responsible for the safety of the food they produce and sell.
Third, food safety management must be based on corresponding technical standards and regulations issued by competent state management agencies and standards announced by manufacturing organizations and individuals to be applied.
Fourth, food safety management must be implemented throughout the entire food production and business process based on risk analysis concerning food safety.
Fifth, food safety management must ensure clear assignment, decentralization, and intersectoral coordination.
