Abstract The frequent occurrence of livestock product quality and safety incidents such as lean meat powder, dead pigs floating in Huangpu River, beatified pork trotters in Beijing, melamine-tainted milk powder and horse meat scandal not only poses a serious threat to peoples’ health but also considerably restricts the healthy and sustainable development of China’s animal husbandry industry. The food quality and safety traceability system is an important approach for food quality and safety management. However, the development of food quality and safety traceability system in China started later and there are currently many problems in this area. This paper analyzes the characteristics and experience of food traceability system construction in the United States, the European Union, Japan, Australia and other countries, and puts forward some suggestions concerning the problems existing in the construction of China’s livestock product traceability system, in order to ensure the quality and safety of China’s livestock products and to provide a basis for the healthy development of animal husbandry.
