Can the Health Bureau impose a fine on unqualified catering?
According to the Food Safety Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the food and drug supervision department is responsible for the supervision of catering consumption. Therefore, if the Health Bureau and the Food and Drug Administration are the same department, for example, the US Food and Drug Administration is listed in the Ministry of Health, the Health Bureau has the right to punish. If the drug administration and health are parallel units, according to the law, only the drug administration department can exercise the power of supervision and punishment on food and beverage consumption in daily supervision, but at the same time, it should be noted that if the food and beverage is unqualified and major food safety accidents are caused, the Health Bureau has the right to take the lead in investigating and handling food safety accidents according to law. Therefore, in this case, the health bureau can also impose penalties.
