Two departments: further strengthen the supervision of cross-border e-commerce retail imported food recall.

On February 13th, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Recall Supervision of Imported Food for Cross-border E-commerce Retail." The Notice specifies that when cross-border e-commerce companies discover quality and safety risks or issues with related food products, they should immediately stop sales, notify the entrusted enterprises to recall the products sold, and handle them properly. The recall and handling situation should be promptly reported to market regulation authorities. Cross-border e-commerce platforms should urge companies to enhance quality and safety risk prevention, and prompt them to carry out recall work. Cross-border e-commerce platforms should suspend providing platform services to companies that do not take proactive recall measures. Market regulation authorities will strictly deal in accordance with the law and regulations with cross-border e-commerce companies, entrusted enterprises, and platforms that fail to fulfill their obligations related to the recall of imported food for cross-border e-commerce retail, and report them to relevant departments for inclusion in credit management.
