The market supervision department is cracking down on counterfeit and inferior food in rural areas. A total of 1361.79 tons have been confiscated this year.

Reporters learned today that the State Administration for Market Regulation is focusing on key areas this year, intensifying efforts to crack down on counterfeit and shoddy food in rural areas. The focus is on addressing prominent issues such as the sale of "three noes" (no production license, no business license, no quality certification) and counterfeit, expired, and unidentified food in rural markets, with the aim of improving food quality and safety in rural areas. So far, market supervision departments at all levels have conducted inspections on food production and sales entities 2.5676 million times, discovered 124,100 illegal clues through online and offline investigations, handled 87,900 cases of illegal activities, confiscated 1,361.79 tons of counterfeit and shoddy food, and shut down 158 platform merchant accounts. They have also cooperated with public security agencies to raid 155 counterfeit production and sales points, arrest 314 criminal suspects, and effectively regulate the order of the rural food market.
