Abstract: In order to compare the standards for quinolone residues in animal-derived food in China and supervision among multiple regulatory sectors， we summarized and compared the current standards for the limits of quinolone residues in animal-derived food in China and sampling examination strategy among regulatory sectors. There were defects in the standard limits of lomefloxacin， pefloxacin， ofloxacin， and norfloxacin which have been banned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. In addition， the determination limits of those indexes in the supervision remain inconsistent across multiple regulatory sectors. Multiple regulatory sectors on food safety should perform further risk assessment on the above problems and formulate the standards for the limits of quinolone residues in animal-derived food that may be applicable in China.
