Beijing to strengthen regulation of online catering

Beijing pledges to strengthen regulation of online catering platforms to ensure food safety, the municipal food and drug administration said.


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, World Consumer Rights Day, also known as "3.15" in China.

Thirty-four restaurants have recently been ordered to withdraw from waimai.meituan, one of the most popular such platforms in China, 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.
