Abstract

Until now, we have been defining and talking about food enterprises’ responsibility in terms of moral obligation. While, now there is no time to delay to transfer their responsibility from moral obligation to legal obligation, because only by dividing enterprises’ responsibility for creditors, consumers, employees, suppliers, distributors, environment and communities and legalize them respectively can the transfer of moral responsibility be actually realized. Meanwhile, only having the responsibility regulations in the level of law has it compulsive executive force, thus, could be better to push forward the performance of responsibility and the protection of the rights and interests of relevant people and to promote food enterprises’ benign development.
