Abstract:The sudden emergence of COVID-19 in 2019 and its constant repetition have brought great food safety challenges, in particular, cold-chain foods have become the priority and difficult point of current epidemic prevention and control. Under the background of normalized COVID-19 prevention and control, it’s a major topic concerning people's present livelihood how to improve the existing food safety traceability system to make it adapt better to the normalized epidemic prevention and control, while satifying consumers' demands for safe intake and high-quality consumption. Accordingly, this paper reviewed the current situation of our country’s food safety traceability system, and analyzed the existing problems in the system construction: the food safety traceability systems at all levels need to be integrated, the standards needed to be further improved, the construction of the ecological circle need to be accelerated, and the traceability system for imported cold-chain food need to be strengthened. These problems are even more pronounced in the normalization stage of COVID-19's prevention and control. In view of the above-mentioned problems, this paper proposes to establish a unified food traceability management platform, implement vigorously actions towards standard improvement, create a sustainably developing ecological circle, and establish a good environment for technological operation, in order to provide a decision-making reference for further strengthening the construction of China's food safety traceability system and ensuring food quality and safety under the background of normalized epidemic prevention and control.
