Some increase in food prices reflects the consumer demand for food safety. Case studies showed that the government controls on food prices would increase market uncertainty, due to the objectives conflict between the food price regulation and the food safety regulation. Facing food safety crises, the government should use price regulation with caution. In the process of economic restructuring, regulatory functions of government should be clear positioning, relax food price regulation, effectively strengthen food safety regulation.
