China remains an important player in the food chain as the globalization of food supply continues to grow rapidly. Through internal and external efforts, mostly, in the form of collaboration, China’s food safety has made significant improvement in recent years. US government agencies and food safety professionals have been working closely with Chinese government, industry, and academia in building regulatory infrastructure, enhancing food safety risk communication, and improving research, education, and technology transfer. These collaborations have positively impacted China’s food safety. This symposium will bring together leading experts from government agencies, industries, and academia to share their experiences and perspectives. The objectives of this symposium are to enhance the understanding of China food safety status and programs, and to provide insights on solutions for food safety advancement in China for those who are interested in working and collaborating in China.
