A Food Operation License is a mandatory legal certification for businesses engaged in food sales and catering services in China. This license ensures that businesses comply with national food safety standards and regulations in all aspects of food sales, storage, and service. It is a crucial measure to safeguard food safety and consumer health, covering everything from procurement, storage, and sales to on-site processing.
Hongda will review the information and conduct an eligibility examination of your company, ensuring that it meets the essential requirements for a Food Operation License Application. In cases where your company does not fully satisfy certain requirements, Hongda will also be willing to provide company information modification services to meet legal requirements. Meanwhile, all necessary documents and certifications will be prepared for the following application process.
After receiving the complete food operation license materials, the local Market Supervision Administration will arrange an on-site inspection to your business premises. They will inspect whether your place meets the standards regarding food safety and hygiene. The qualifications of your employees to work in the food industry will also be examined during the process.
After obtaining your Food Operation License, your company will still need to adhere to a series of regulatory requirements throughout your operations. For example, this may include undergoing regular inspections by the health and market supervision authorities, maintaining high-quality food safety management records, and organizing periodic personnel training. In addition, you will need to apply for the renewal of your Food Operation License before its expiration, where the compliance records will directly affect the result.
