Analysis of Food Safety Supervision Based on Game Theory

Food is the most basic material conditions for human survival and development, at present, consumers, producers and government are the three main bodies affecting food safety. When there is asymmetrical information between consumers and producers, the food market activities will be in disorder. As rational economic man, the operators and producers generally don't hope to achieve symmetry information in the pursuit of economic benefits. Therefore, it is essential for us to take some measures to solve this problem, including establishing retroactive quality liability system and punishment mechanisms, perfecting management of market access, constructing strict self-discipline industry associations, strengthening credibility construction and so on. These measures will do some help to reduce asymmetric information between consumers and producers, as well as improve government supervision efficiency and control ability.
