Objective To understand the understanding of local food safety standards，investigate the requirements of local raw materials， and promote the improvement of record system of local food safety standards.Methods The questionnaire is designed around whether it is covered by national standards， what is local characteristics， the index setting in standards， and the standard requirements of local raw materials. Through the analysis of the investigation results， the relevant problems are discussed. Finally， we put forward the local standard management suggestions.Results A total of 4 301 valid opinions were collected. In the questionnaire， there are 631 people who believe that there are universal standards but no product standards regarding their understanding of whether they are covered by national standards. There are 937 people who believe that craftsmanship is unique to the local area in terms of understanding what local characteristics are. There are 593 people who believe that only food safety indicators are included in the understanding of indicator settings in local standards. A total of 149 questionnaires were collected regarding the development of local characteristic raw material standards. Among them， American ginseng was the most frequently filled out （7 times）， followed by Sanqi （4 times）， Tianma （4 times）， Guangchenpi （4 times）， etc. This reflects that the management path of local characteristic raw materials in some provinces is still unclear.Conclusion As for the scope of local standards， it should be judged whether it is covered by national standards， and whether local standards need to be set， on the basis of scientific risk assessment. As for the content of local standards， the index setting in local standards should be studied on the basis of ensuring public health and reasonably giving consideration to other indicators. As for the management of local raw material standards， the management should be clarified on the basis of following the overall thinking of food safety legal standard system.
