China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) held a meeting on April 2 with major food delivery platforms, including Meituan, Taobao Flash Sale, and JD.com, to ensure compliance with upcoming food safety regulations. The platforms were urged to fully implement the "Food Safety Responsibility Regulations for Online Food Service Providers," which will take effect June 1. SAMR stressed the need for platforms to strengthen food safety management, improve qualification reviews, and enhance collaboration with government oversight, including integrating technology and involving delivery workers in food safety monitoring.
