Abstract The occurrence of a large number of illegal activities related to food production and distribution in China has posed a great challenge to the current food safety supervision system and rules of the country. However, it is undeniable that science and technology greatly facilitate the advancement of the food industry. The society should have a correct attitude towards new technologies applied in the food area and they should be under scientific supervision of the regulators. The new Food Safety Law establishes the fundamental principle of social co-governance. Under this principle, the establishment of an efficient cooperative regulatory system with the participation of all walks of life is of great theoretical value and practical significance to overcome the shortcomings of the previous models of single administrative supervision, separate supervision and decentralized supervision. For food safety regulation under the concept of social co-governance, the country must improve its legal system for food safety regulation, straighten out its food safety regulatory system, and scientifically formulate food safety standards and risk assessment system. Only in this way, can a good situation of food safety coregulation be formed in which both the government and the society participate and which is widely accepted by the public, thereby protecting public health interests and national interests.
