Food safety has always been the most concerned problem of our government and people, because it involves the most direct and realistic interests of everyone. At present, China's food safety is in a period of frequent contradictions and risks. Compared with the past, food safety has been greatly improved, but there is still a certain gap with the expectations of the masses. Especially after the outbreak of the COVID-19, public health emergencies make the people more worried about "safety on the tip of the tongue". Food safety is related to people's health and life safety, economic development and social stability. Therefore, we should clarify the specific impact of the COVID-19 on China's food safety, and put forward corresponding countermeasures, so as to grasp and improve China's food safety at this stage, and truly ensure the safety of the people's tongue.
