摘要:俗话有云：“民以食为天，食以安为首”。随着社会经济的发展，人们日益满足于“食”，却忧患于“食”之安。随着我国法治社会建设的逐步深入，对于食品安全立法保护的呼吁声愈加强烈。在当前食品安全的的严峻形势之下，刑法作为保护食品安全的最后一道防线，应当进一步强化对食品安全的保护作用。《刑法修正案（八）》对食品安全的犯罪进行了相应的修改，还特别设立了食品安全监管人员失职罪，对猖狂的食品犯罪起到了一定的震慑作用，也因此延伸出在当前形势下，建立一个完善的食品安全刑法保护体系显得尤为重要。本文在介绍现阶段我国刑法在食品安全的立法保护基础上，分析刑法在保护食品安全方面的缺陷与不足，并对加强与完善刑法的食品安全立法保护提出了一些建议。
