Qinghai Jiuzhi County Inspects Mooncakes Ahead of Holidays, 9 Issues Found

According to a report by Foodmate News, the Jiuzhi County Market Supervision Administration in Qinghai Province carried out a pre-holiday special inspection of the mooncake market. The inspection covered key venues such as county supermarkets and farmers' markets, targeting more than 40 mooncake business operators, with 12 enforcement personnel visits.

The report said the inspection focused on mooncake purchase verification and certificate and invoice checks, reviewed supplier qualifications and product inspection reports, and targeted unlabeled and so-called three-no products. A total of 9 issues were found, which the report stated were all cases of some goods lacking price labels; no substandard mooncakes or issues involving microbiological or additive indicators were mentioned.

Based on the disclosed information, the issues identified concern business practices such as price labeling rather than the quality and safety indicators of the mooncakes themselves. The report published no test values or standard limits, so no conclusion can be drawn about exceedances or health risks. As the report concerns the pre-holiday mooncake market and covers many operators, the inspection remains worth continued attention.

On handling, the report said operators were urged on site to complete corrections. The Jiuzhi County Market Supervision Administration said it will continue to step up food market inspections during the holiday period and maintain holiday duty rosters. All of the above currently comes from a single media report, with no original regulatory notice or company response seen.
