Abstract:Basic legal framework has been established in China about rules of law, administrative rules, regulations, national standards and other levels. It is clear of the macro-guidance and instruction obligation of the government, and the basic legal protection of the nutrition providence. However, the specific regulator and its corresponding roles still need to be clarified, so that the coverage of the nutrition protection can be expanded, and the substantive standards of the nutrition can be promoted. Specifically, at the law level, a basic law on nutritional security should be formulated as soon as possible to establish the basic framework for nutritional security; administrative regulations should, under the authorization of the previous legislation, further define the specific regulatory bodies for nutritional security and the division of their powers; at the regulatory level, specific nutritional regulatory standards should be further refined to cater for the special characteristics of different food areas; and separate national standards for nutritional value should be formulated.
