Meat raw materials, technical level and residents' income had a positive effect on food safety level, but the investment of assets had a weaker negative impact on it.

This change about structural characteristics in the enterprises is influenced by the effect of economies of scale. The paper provides some reference for government to formulate relevant regulatory policies.
