A quality index is constructed and an improved grey prediction model is also presented. The quality index model is applied to measure the level of food quality; then the grey prediction model is applied to predict the trend of quality index for food in the future. A comparison between the predicted trends and standard limit proposed by experts is made to judge the food security risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Findings<\/jats:title>The results in this paper indicate that more attention should be paid to the food security situation and steps should also should be taken to prevent harm to people's health from food.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Practical implications<\/jats:title>The method presented in the paper could be used to make predictions for those systems which have the characteristic of small sample and poor information.
