If we want to run some restaurants, we need to apply for catering licenses. Catering licenses have higher hygiene requirements, because they involve the safety of consumers. What should we do if the catering licenses expire? Below, in order to help you better understand the relevant legal knowledge, I have sorted out the contents related to this issue, hoping to help you.

1. How to handle the expired food and beverage license According to the Food Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and the Measures for the Administration of Food and Beverage Service License, it is hereby announced as follows: 1. If the Food Hygiene License or Food and Beverage Service License has expired and has not been renewed (renewed), all catering service units are requested to submit a written application for renewal (renewed) to our bureau within 15 days from the date of this announcement. 2. If the validity period of the Food Hygiene Permit or the Catering Service Permit has not expired, the business units of catering services and public places shall submit a written application for renewal (replacement) to our bureau 31 days before the expiration of the validity period. 3. Anyone who applies for renewal (replacement) within the time limit will be given administrative punishment according to law and will be handled according to the new application. 4. Telephone number for renewal (replacement): 5858187.

second, the hygiene license refers to the hygiene license certificate issued by units and individuals engaged in food production and business activities of restaurants after examination and approval by the administrative department of health, with the license number registered for the record. The above content is the relevant answer. Usually, catering licenses also have a certain use period. If the use period expires, we should reapply or apply for renewal. We can apply in advance before the expiration, otherwise administrative penalties may be imposed if we fail to apply within the time limit.
