Food safety is one of the most concerned topics in China. To find the situation in food safety and to reveal consumers' perception and their attitude about food safety, we conducted a survey in Hunan Province of China. We find that consumers pay a great concern to food safety issues. Food safety plays very important role in consumers' food choice. After a series of special projects by the provincial goverment, the situation of food safety is greatly improved. But there are still some problems such as high costs for protecting consumer rights, low level of food industry standards, simple instrument for inspecting unsafe food. And finally we suggest to rebuild business social responsibilities, to set more strict regulations and to take more efficient supervisions for food safety.
