Professional introduction
Food quality and safety is a discipline based on life science and food science, which studies the relationship between food nutrition, safety and health, the guarantee of food nutrition and the quality management of food safety and hygiene. It is an important part of food science and preventive medicine, and an important bridge connecting food and preventive medicine.

Food quality and safety belongs to the engineering category. Food Quality and Safety is a book published by Chemical Industry Press in 2009 by Xiong Liu and Chen Zongdao. This paper mainly talks about the related links of food production, processing and sales.
Occupational characteristics
With the development of modern food analysis and testing technology, we need not only food physical and chemical analysis and food hygiene inspection talents, but also food safety and food health function inspection talents. According to the existing professional catalogue, the training of food toxicology (that is, the theoretical basis of food safety testing) professionals is undertaken by the School of Public Health of medical colleges.
So far, there is no professional food function testing talent in China. Especially at present, there is a big gap in food safety testing talents in China. Therefore, setting up the major of "Modern Food Analysis Technology" in various schools and cultivating compound talents who can master and engage in various detection technologies should be a highlight of the specialty setting in this city and even the whole country. Especially after joining WTO, technical barriers will become an effective measure to protect the interests of all countries.
