it's different.

1. The registration certificate for small food shops is a registration certificate for strengthening the implementation of management in view of the wide distribution, small scale and large number of "three small" (that is, small food workshops, small food shops and stalls), which is convenient for people's lives and also has certain security risks.

operators of small business stores need to apply for a small business store registration certificate if they want to operate, and they don't need to apply for a small business store registration certificate if the previously obtained food business licenses (catering service licenses and food circulation licenses) are within the validity period (unless the parties apply for changes). Registration certificate and filing card are also the "identity cards" of "three primary schools".

2. A food business license, also known as a catering service license, is a catering service license issued by units and individuals engaged in food production and business activities after examination and approval by the health administrative department.

According to the Measures for the Administration of Catering Service License issued by the Ministry of Health on July 28, 2111, "Any unit or individual engaged in food production and business activities shall report to the administrative department of health and go through the application procedures for catering service license in accordance with regulations; Only after examination and approval by the administrative department of health can they engage in food production and operation activities, and bear the responsibility of food hygiene for food production and operation. "

"The health administrative department of the local people's government shall abide by these measures and issue catering service licenses to food producers and operators."

"The hygiene license for the production activities of food additives, health foods and new resource foods shall be issued by the provincial health administrative department."

Extended information

There are many differences between the registration certificate of a small food store and the food business license:

1. Different targets.

The registration certificate for small food shops is aimed at the "three small", namely, small food workshops, small food shops and small stalls. The food business license is aimed at all the production and business activities in the food industry.

2. The applicable laws and regulations are different.

The registration certificate of small food stores is only applicable to local laws and regulations, and the food business license is subject to the Administrative Measures for Catering Service Licensing, which is a national law and regulation.

3. Different roles.

There are basically no fixed legal locations for small workshops, small business shops and small stalls, and most of them do not have industrial and commercial business licenses. The filing certificate of small food business shops plays the role of "temporary id card"; The food business license is only an industry business license certificate.
