Abstract
These Measures aim to ensure food safety by regulating the daily operations of food storage and transportation service providers. The Measures require operators to obtain business licenses and file with the district market supervision departments, providing necessary documentation such as safety management systems and legal proofs of storage facilities. The Measures emphasize the importance of maintaining clean and safe storage and transportation conditions, monitoring temperature and humidity, and preventing contamination.
Additionally, the Measures mandate regular inspections and record-keeping, including electronic logs of food storage and transportation activities. Operators must manage near-expiry and expired food responsibly and report any violations to the local market supervision departments. The document also highlights the need for inter-departmental information sharing and encourages industry associations to provide training and guidance to ensure compliance and improve food safety management standards.
