Chifeng Market Regulation Bureau Runs National Day Food Safety Joint Inspection

The Chifeng Municipal Market Regulation Bureau organized a joint special food safety inspection during the National Day holiday period. According to the file, the inspection focused on supermarkets and farmers' markets, catering cluster blocks, catering outlets around scenic areas, internet-famous catering outlets, food convenience stores, and pastry and side-food shops.

In the catering stage, enforcement officers focused on verifying food safety primary responsibility implementation, and strictly checked key systems including employee health management, kitchen environmental sanitation, food procurement and storage, food processing operations, tableware cleaning and disinfection, and food sample retention. They also focused on identifying food safety risks at holiday wedding banquets, family gatherings, and small catering outlets, to avoid raw and spoiled ingredients, cross-contamination, and out-of-scope operations.

In the distribution stage, enforcement officers focused on hot-selling categories such as rice, flour, grains and oils, meat products, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, holiday gift boxes, pre-packaged pastries, and seasonal snacks. They strictly inspected business license qualifications, incoming goods inspection, documentary evidence and invoices, purchase and sales ledgers, partitioned storage of near-expiry food, and food labels. They also focused on control gaps in bulk food and refrigerated and frozen food storage at supermarkets, and strictly investigated illegal acts such as selling expired or spoiled food, unlabeled products, and counterfeit or substandard food.

Regarding handling, minor issues found such as non-standard sanitation, incomplete ledgers, and improper ingredient storage were corrected on-site with immediate action required; for business entities with larger safety hazards, rectification notices were issued according to law, requiring closed-loop rectification within a deadline.

The Chifeng Municipal Market Regulation Bureau stated it will continue to strengthen food safety supervision, increase inspection and enforcement in key periods, regions, and business formats, further open complaint and reporting channels, promptly identify and resolve food safety risks, and safeguard an orderly holiday food market. The file currently shows no information on specific companies, product brands, batch numbers, or testing values in this inspection.
