Abstract:Food safety is a vital matter for the national welfare and people's livelihood. Safe food is produced under the strict supervision. To reinforce food safety, strengthening the capability of food safety supervision construction is the key. The team of professional inspectors is the foundation and guarantee of food safety supervision, which can also make up for the problems related to insufficiency of supervisory staff and lack of professional competence. Foreign developed countries and regions pay high attention to the team construction of high-quality and highly-specialized food inspectors. However, the construction of food inspector teams in our country is still under exploration. As one of the regions with the best food safety system in the world, Canada has a complete system of food inspector management policies and regulations, with well-defined inspection basis, qualification management and classification, education and training, duties and tasks, inspection procedures, assessment and management. This could be a significant reference for the construction of our food inspector teams. This article mainly studies the relevant management policies and regulations of the Canadian food inspectors. Combined with the current situation in our country, several suggestions for improving the construction of our food inspector teams at the specific work level are proposed.
