The quantity, category, and content of the currently implemented cold chain logistics standards for agricultural and sideline products were examined. Despite the increasing number and variety of standards, issues remain, such as incomplete standard categories and significant differences in the number of standards issued for different categories. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the current situation, offering valuable references for policymakers and helping enterprises to grasp standardization requirements. https://pubs.sciepub.com/jfnr/13/1/5/jfnr-13-1-5.pdf Agricultural and sideline food Fruits and vegetables Cold chain logistics standards Statistical analysis
