According to the circular, Beijing Maite Catering Management Co., Ltd. holds the Food Circulation Permit, and its permitted business project is "Wholesale prepackaged foods", so it does not have the qualification for catering service. However, it illegally operates the "Matt Burger Restaurant" on the "Hungry" platform, selling hamburgers, French fries, cola and other foods.
Beijing Xianwanjia Supermarket holds the Food Business License, and the permitted business item is "prepackaged foods Sales (including frozen food)", so it does not have the catering service business qualification. However, it illegally operates the "Hero Fort Fried Chicken Burger" shop on the "Hungry" platform.
xiaowu with cold rice noodles is located at Hongfu Road, Xihongmen Town, Daxing District. The store has no qualifications for food business and catering service, but it operates the "Li Ji Chinese hamburger with preserved meat" shop under the guise of "Hungry" platform, selling Chinese hamburger, Daoxiao Noodles and other foods.
The law enforcement officers of Daxing District Food and Drug Administration have ordered the above three offline operators to immediately stop illegal business projects and put them on file for investigation. At the same time, the Municipal Food and Drug Internet Monitoring Center under the Municipal Food and Drug Administration has obtained evidence for the illegal acts of the above three stores.
Daxing District Food and Drug Administration will inform the food and drug administration department where the sponsor of Hungry Platform is located according to the procedure for investigating and handling the suspected behavior of "Hungry" platform that it has not fulfilled the obligation of online shop qualification examination.
Why can't the strictest food safety law control hunger
It is stipulated in the Food Safety Law that providers of third-party platforms for online food trading should register food operators with real names and clarify their food safety management responsibilities; If a license should be obtained according to law, the license should also be reviewed. However, those who were exposed were hungry, and their relevant cooperative businesses did not obtain relevant licenses according to law.
after the incident came out, I made a statement as soon as I was hungry. I urgently set up a special group to shut down all illegal restaurants involved, and deployed them overnight to check the qualifications of restaurants nationwide and accept the guidance and supervision of the media and all walks of life. However, the word "apology" was not made public.
Zhang Xuhao, founder and CEO of Hungry, said in an internal letter, "In the CCTV 315 party, the food safety supervision problem of Hungry was exposed by name, which revealed that the company had unavoidable problems in qualification review and management. The company that we have always been proud of, while experiencing rapid development, originally has huge security risks, which is really distressing. "
At the same time, Zhang Xuhao also admitted that there was indeed dereliction of duty in food safety management. He and the management should also take responsibility for this. The company would like to thank the media for their supervision, sincerely apologize to the users who trusted and supported the hungry, and apologize to the merchants who were troubled by it.
according to public information, "Hungry" is one of the largest catering O2O platforms in China. The company was founded in April 2119. Founded in Shanghai by Zhang Xuhao, Kang Jia and others.
On February 7, 2115, Hungry signed an investment framework agreement with Alibaba. After the investment, Hungry was valued at more than 4.5 billion US dollars and continued to operate independently. After this round of investment, Ali became the largest shareholder with 27.7% hungry.
after being injected with capital, if you are hungry, you have to race quickly. An industry person who didn't want to be named told the author that the competition in the take-away market is extremely fierce, and capital has requirements for the performance of enterprises. Whoever has more stores in this industry will have a greater competitive advantage and a higher valuation in the capital market. Under the pursuit of competitors such as Baidu Takeaway and Meituan, if you are hungry, you have to race around, which also lowers the threshold for introducing stores in disguise, and there will be food safety hazards.
in terms of strict legal responsibility, the new food safety law first strengthens the implementation of the main responsibility of enterprises, clearly puts forward that food producers and operators are the first responsible person for food safety and are responsible for the food safety of their production and operation, and stipulates that food producers and operators should establish a food traceability system. Obviously, some partners who are hungry do not comply with the relevant laws and regulations, and as a third-party platform, they also have the responsibility of lax control.
after the above-mentioned incident, even insiders in the take-away market told the author that this time they were actually hungry and suffered for the industry. Other take-away platforms also had such problems, but hungry is the biggest take-away platform. Some things are known to insiders in the industry, which is the unspoken rule of the industry. Some shops are in residential areas, and it is difficult for the relevant government departments to supervise them. However, Internet take-away platforms sometimes take risks driven by interests.
What makes me feel sad is not that I am hungry and exposed the chaos in the take-away market, but that the newly revised Food Safety Law, which everyone has been talking about last year, does not seem to have played its due role. In the face of the surging tide of the Internet, the relevant regulatory authorities failed to effectively keep up with the regulatory innovation, and many things were also investigated afterwards.
compared with China's first food safety law promulgated in 2119, the new food safety law, which officially came into force on October 1st last year, has indeed made a lot of progress, especially in fixing the reform results of the supervision system in legal form, and establishing the most severe punishment system in view of the outstanding problems existing in the current food safety field. Therefore, the new law is called "the strictest food safety law in history" and has won the recognition of the people and the industry.
However, many experts are worried about this. As Wu Linhai, the chief expert of Jiangsu Food Safety Research Base of Jiangnan University, said, although the newly revised Food Safety Law has many bright spots and the public opinion is full of praise at present, it still has to be said that the newly revised Food Safety Law will face many difficulties, even great difficulties, in the future implementation, and it cannot effectively and comprehensively solve the problems of edible agricultural products and food safety.
once again, the topic returns to the issue of "Hungry". Many people in the industry have reported to the author that at present, the impact of the new food safety law on the take-away market is not great, and it is no accident that people in this field are exposed when they are hungry. Everyone in this field knows that this shady industry will be uncovered sooner or later, and it is also a good thing that the problem has come out now, which is beneficial to the healthy development of the industry in the next step. The take-away market may end its barbaric growth, and the relevant state regulatory authorities will definitely tighten up in the next step.
In my opinion, first of all, the relevant government departments should introduce the food safety supervision and management system for online ordering as soon as possible, and bring the catering merchants on the online platform into the food safety supervision system. The ordering website or APP should review and register its cooperative merchants, do a good job in daily management and improve the entry threshold; Secondly, strengthen law enforcement supervision, further clarify the responsible units and lead departments, effectively strengthen the supervision and management of online fast food, and increase the intensity of spot checks; Third, severely punish illegal enterprises, so that Internet third-party platforms can strictly abide by national laws and regulations, assume the main responsibility, and be good gatekeepers.
Fortunately, during the National "Two Sessions" this year, it was reported that the Beijing Food and Drug Administration would issue the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Food Business in Beijing (Trial) to implement standardized management for online food transaction providers in Beijing. In addition, after CCTV's "3 15" exposure was hungry, the Shanghai Food and Drug Administration also said that the next step will continue to explore an effective supervision mechanism for online ordering, further urging enterprises to implement the main responsibility of the platform and keep the bottom line of food safety.
The Internet is by no means a place outside the law. In the process of barbaric growth, we should also abide by the law and fulfill our social responsibilities, especially in the food industry, which is a conscience industry and cannot tolerate any carelessness.
