Abstract

In Chapter 6, Zhou analyses the regulatory segmentation in the first regime component, food safety standard-setting, as outlined in the model of risk regulatory regime. In China, food safety standards have been segmented in respect to the group of foreign consumers and the domestic food sector by way of standards’ rigidity and the level of protection that is offered to consumers. This segmentation creates a higher safety benchmark for food for foreign consumers, and guarantees that they are better taken care of in most cases. Zhou supports this argument with an illustrative case that compares tea exported from China with tea consumed in domestic food market, which demonstrates the substantial gap in the safety benchmarks for tea consumed by these two different groups.
