The concepts, developments and contents of certification system such as certification standard and inspection method, and the present situation of non-polluted food, green food and organic food are discussed in this paper.
Both Non-polluted food and green food focus on the management of elements which will have effect on the quality of the food, while organic food focuses on the management of elements which will have effect on the environment. The certification inspection of non-polluted food and green food stress on whether the value of production environment and product reach the certification standard or not, and whether the production materials are used correctly or not during the process of production, while organic food stress on on-the-spot inspection of the way and management during the whole process through production to trade. While, no public pollution food compares to green food, the certification standard of the former is less strict than the latter. It dues to Chinese present standard of agricultural production and the needs of consumers can be satisfied.
