Law makes it tough for food delivery sites
Print Edition
FOOD delivery websites will now have to check all restaurants’ licenses and ensure real name registration after the amended food safety law comes into effect next month.
Websites must also report violation by eateries to the government. Failing to do so would mean fines of up to 200,000 yuan (US$32,258) and confiscation of illegal income.
If the violations are deemed serious, their business permit would be revoked. Customers can also take the websites and eateries to task if their rights are violated.
Currently, the websites don’t have to check the restaurants’ background.
“We have informed all relevant websites about the new law and given them information about license and the results of our hygiene and food safety inspection to eateries,” said Gu Zhenhua, vice director of Shanghai Food and Drug Administration. “We found there are unlicensed restaurants on some websites.”
Ele.me, one of the biggest food delivery websites in the country, said it was acting accordingly and making changes and will follow the new law.
