Compliance of small-scale food production and operation in Beijing
| Q: |
What entities are covered by the regulations for small-scale food production and operation in Beijing? |
| A: |
They fall into three categories: small food workshops, small food catering establishments, and small grocery stores selling food. Regular market entities that have already obtained formal food production/operation licenses are excluded, with a clear scope of application. |
| Q: |
Do small food workshops need to apply for a separate production license? |
| A: |
No. They only need to apply for the small-scale food production and operation license as required, and do not have to go through the approval process for standard food production licenses. |
| Q: |
Are employees of small-scale food businesses required to hold health certificates? |
| A: |
All employees who have direct contact with food must hold a valid health certificate. Working without a valid health certificate is a clear violation of regulations. |
| Q: |
What is the validity period of the small-scale food production and operation license? |
| A: |
The license is uniformly valid for 3 years. A renewal application must be submitted 30 working days before the expiration date as required, and the license will become invalid if overdue. |
| Q: |
Is on-site inspection required for the application of the small-scale food production and operation license? |
| A: |
For entities classified as low-risk, the license can be issued directly after document review. For some high-risk categories, only a simplified inspection is required, and the whole process can be completed in as fast as 1 working day. |
