SAMR has launched a special sampling inspection of online catering, covering
seven food categories—prepared dishes, snacks/fast food, staples, beverages,
desserts, barbecue and hot pot—and related ingredients. The full-chain risk
check targets high-volume, widely distributed, representative items and combines
online and offline sampling: online coverage spans 14 platforms including
Meituan, Taobao and JD; offline inspections cover 24 major and mid-sized cities
including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and involve 875 food-delivery
operators.
