The Commission on Food Safety of the State Council (Chinese: 国务院食品安全委员会; pinyin: Guówùyuàn Shípǐn Ānquán Weǐyuánhuì) is a policy coordination committee with ultimate oversight on food safety in China. As it is an ad hoc coordination body it should not be confused with the established commissions and ministries which report into the State Council. The commission is headed by the Vice-Premier of the State Council, Han Zheng, who is also a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.[1]

The commission was established in 2010 after a series of food safety incidents reduced the trust of the Chinese public as well as importers of Chinese made food outside of China. For example, the 2008 baby milk powder scandal caused major international controversy. The commission was initially headed by Li Keqiang, then the top-ranked Vice-Premier of the State Council and a member of the Politburo Standing Committee, who was assisted by two deputies, Vice Premier Wang Qishan and Vice Premier Hui Liangyu.[2]

The membership of the group consists mostly of vice-ministerial level officials.
