Beijing tightens regulation on online catering
Print Edition
BEIJING will strengthen regulation of online catering platforms to ensure food safety, the municipal food and drug administration said.
This follows a similar move in Shanghai.
Supervision over the platforms will include checking business licenses and health certificates and, more importantly, the quality of ingredients and health conditions of cooks of the restaurants on the platforms, the administration announced yesterday — World Consumer Rights Day, also known as “3.15” in China.
Thirty-four restaurants have recently been ordered to withdraw from waimai.meituan.com, one of the most popular such platforms for selling cold dishes without a license, said Li Jiang, head of the food market regulation office of the administration.
The administration will launch spot checks on food safety of the restaurants and order them to post pictures of their kitchens and cooking process on the platforms, according to Li.
A restaurant rating system will be introduced on the platforms, so that customers can choose higher rated ones, Li said.
Beijing has five online food ordering and delivery services, including waimai.meituan and waimai.baidu, with altogether 67,000 restaurants on them.
