Food safety issues are widespread across the globe, with high levels of public concern and great social harm. In 2019, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization pointed out that approximately 600 million people worldwide are harmed every year by eating unsafe food. Food safety supervision is an important measure to prevent the occurrence of food safety problems. This article uses a qualitative research method to compare the food safety regulatory systems in developed countries and analyze their existing characteristics, to provide experience and lessons for other countries to improve food safety regulatory systems and prevent food safety accidents. At the end of the article, it was concluded that less developed countries should make efforts to improve the supervision mechanism, increase the training of supervisors and update supervision methods.
