The State Administration for Market Regulation deploys the "Joining Hearts and Working Together to Protect Food Safety" online catering food safety governance activity.

Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice, deploying the nationwide "Riding Hearts Together to Protect Food Safety" network catering food safety governance activities. The notice emphasizes that local authorities must resolutely implement the "strictest food safety requirements" and focus on outstanding problems and weak links in the current network catering food safety governance work. The notice considers the governance activities as an important means to integrate business supervision with party building, enhance the efficiency of catering food safety governance, actively build effective mechanisms involving pioneer demonstrations, government-enterprise cooperation, group participation, technological empowerment, and multi-sector governance to strengthen integrated supervision of network catering both online and offline and regulate take-out services without dining-in. It aims to promote high-level governance of network catering food safety and better protect the "safety on the tip of the tongue" for the people. In addition, the notice also specifies six key tasks: 1. Mobilize the strength of delivery riders, enhance pioneer demonstrations, and establish a "Food Safety Supervision Team for Delivery Riders" to encourage delivery riders to actively participate in network catering food safety supervision; 2. Strictly regulate the entry of delivery riders into supervision, establish a mechanism for recruitment and management, define selection criteria, job responsibilities, prohibited acts, exit mechanisms, etc., and recruit delivery riders to join the supervision team; 3. Improve the level of supervision capabilities, focus on key areas such as laws and regulations, risk identification, information reporting, and conduct targeted training to effectively enhance the ability of delivery riders to supervise food safety; 4. Improve closed-loop disposal mechanism, promote the development of digital supervision applications, establish a clue information sharing platform, standardize the procedures for handling complaint reports, and build an effective disposal closed-loop; 5. Stimulate the internal driving force of governance, actively build a diversified incentive system of "material rewards + spiritual encouragement + rights protection" to protect the legitimate rights and interests of delivery riders in their supervision duties; 6. Enhance the strength of multi-sector governance, carry out professional training, rights protection, and care services activities on a regular basis to provide solid support for delivery riders to fulfill their responsibilities as food safety supervisors, forming a coordinated working pattern involving collaboration between government and enterprises. The notice requires local authorities to strengthen organizational leadership, enhance cooperation, improve operation mechanisms, facilitate coordinated handling, and promote high-efficiency, comprehensive, and orderly implementation of governance activities. It also emphasizes the importance of increasing policy promotion efforts and raising awareness and participation in governance activities. Furthermore, the notice encourages timely summarization and extraction of highlights from work to form a batch of replicable and promotable experiences and practices.
