In order to strengthen the supervision and management of online food safety, and ensure that platform companies and online food sales companies fulfill their main responsibilities for food safety, prevent hidden risks of online food safety, the State Administration for Market Regulation has drafted the "Regulations on the Supervision and Management of the Implementation of Food Safety Main Responsibilities by Third-party Platforms for Online Food Trading and Online Food Sales Companies" and is seeking public opinions on it. The Regulations, consisting of 23 articles, aim to enhance the requirements for online food safety management for platform companies and online food sales companies from multiple dimensions such as staffing of management personnel, operation of management mechanisms, supervision and management, and legal responsibilities.
