    Abstract:

    Objective To provide suggestions for the improvement of the standards of China, the management situation of international organizations and other countries on temperature requirements of food cold chain process was studied.Methods The standards between China and Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Union, the United States, Canada and Australia/New Zealand were compared and analyzed. And the issues of most concerning were raised. The suggestion of cold chain logistics temperature control of China was put forward.Results The standards of other countries were basically recommended operating requirements. There were fewer requirements for specific temperatures. However, the standards system in our country was a combination of compulsory and recommended and there were more requirements for specific temperatures. In both domestic and foreign standards, temperature fluctuation was allowed, and the importance of vehicle precooling, monitoring, transportation tools, and so on were emphasized. However, foreign standards were more emphasized on process management. In the future, China should strengthen the establishment of recommendatory operation rules.Conclusion The standard management on temperature requirement of the food cold chain in China conforms to international standards. The food safety standards are relatively reasonable. China should take good measures to the quality standards, and promote healthy and harmonious development of this industry.
