1, for different objects.
Small food store registration certificate is aimed at "three small" food workshops, small food stores and small stalls; The Food Business License is aimed at all production and business activities of the food industry.
2. Different applicable laws and regulations.
The registration certificate of small food stores is only applicable to local laws and regulations, and the food business license is applicable to the Measures for the Administration of Catering Service Licensing, which is a national law and regulation.
3. Different roles.
Small workshops, shops and stalls basically have no fixed legal locations, and most of them have no business licenses. The registration certificate of small food stores has played the role of "temporary id card"; "Food Business License" is only an industry business license certificate.
Legal basis: Measures for the Administration of Food Business License Article 2 Anyone who engages in food sales and catering services within the territory of People's Republic of China (PRC) shall obtain a food business license according to law.
These Measures shall apply to the application, acceptance, examination, decision, supervision and inspection of food business license.
The legal effect is different, and the food business license has strong legal effect and mandatory provisions, and it must be handled before it can engage in business activities, otherwise it is illegal business, and if the circumstances are serious, it constitutes the crime of illegal business. The filing certificate is not mandatory by law! Does not constitute a crime!
