Implementation Rules of Shandong Province for the Review of Food Business Licenses.

These Implementation Rules, issued by the Shandong Province Market Supervision Administration, aim to standardize food-business licensing, unify provincial review criteria, and ensure food safety. The Implementation Rules comprise six Chapters: 1. General Provisions; 2. Common Licensing Review Requirements; 3. Catering Service Review Requirements; 4. Food Sales Review Requirements; 5. Other Food Business Review Requirements; 6. Supplementary Provisions.
Key requirements include strict site hygiene, equipment standards, and risk-based classifications. It details rules for central kitchens, school canteens (banning high-risk foods like raw seafood), and automated vendors (temperature controls, hygiene protocols). Special provisions cover chain operations and simplified rules for low-risk activities (e.g., reheating prepackaged food). Small businesses follow separate regulations.
