City orders clean-up of internet food deliveries
Print Edition
FOOD delivery websites will have to check the licenses of their advertised eateries and carry out regular random checks on the food to ensure food safety, according to a draft regulation.
The websites must ensure restaurants and owners register their real business name and put all relevant licensing details online.
Failure could draw a fine of up to 200,000 yuan (US$29,230) and licenses can be revoked in cases of food poisoning, according to the draft bill which is being evaluated by the Shanghai People’s Congress, the city’s legislative body.
Websites must stop doing business with the eateries if they detect anything illegal and must report them to the market supervision authority.
The bill also stipulates that delivery staff must have a health certificate and the dishware and wrapping used for delivery must be accord with food safety standards. The web sites and delivery companies must also train deliverers.
If the restaurant’s food causes serious problems or illness, the web site can be suspended or their online license revoked.
The draft regulation also stipulates the owners of eateries whose license is revoked will be banned from reapplying for five years.
