With the globalization of the economy, the transaction volume of imported food in the world continues to increase, and the issue of imported food safety is becoming increasingly prominent. In order to prevent imported food safety risks in a timely and effective manner, countries around the world try to construct a scientific and efficient import food safety guarantee system so as to ensure the safety of imported food. China has the world’s largest economic and consumption market and has become the largest country in food as well as agricultural trade. Imported food has become an important part of Chinese consumers’demands. And Korean food is increasingly favored by the Chinese consumers. So far, China has basically established an all-round and multi-level imported food safety guarantee system. As a food importer in the world which has its representativeness, South Korea imports food from more than 170 countries around the world every year. The proportion of imported foods on Korean tables continues to increase. Among the South Korea’s imported foods, the quantity and scale of Chinese imports have been greatly increased since 2000 because of its low price as well as superior geographical location. On December 20, 2015, China and South Korea signed a free trade agreement, which was an important opportunity for China and South Korea to further expand food imports. At present, there are several issues existing in China's food safety assurance system, such as construction shortages of imported food safety laws, regulations and standard system, further improvement of its supervision system, lack of risk analysis and management in imported food safety guarantees, unshaped integrated and unified food safety public information system and so on. China should actively learn advanced experiences and practices of other countries such as South Korea to accelerate the revision and improvement of imported food safety laws, regulations and standards, establish a unified, efficient and authoritative imported food safety supervision system, center on its risk analysis and management, speed up the construction of the imported food safety public information system, so that make the food trade between China and South Korea smoothly, and finally promote the rapid economic development of two countries.
