The Food Safety Department requests that these agencies coordinate with the Departments of Industry and Trade and the Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development to inspect the compliance with food safety regulations by food production, processing, and trading establishments in the area, focusing on establishments producing and trading mooncakes, confectionery, beverages, traditional foods produced in craft villages and small-scale establishments; food service businesses, street food vendors, etc.; promptly trace and recall products that do not meet food safety standards. At the same time, strictly handle violations and publicly disclose the names, addresses, and types of violating products through mass media. If there are signs of criminal activity, please refer the case to the police for handling according to the law.
Consumers should buy mooncakes from reputable sources.
Local authorities need to strengthen communication on ensuring food safety during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Specifically, food production and business establishments need to comply with food safety regulations: conditions of facilities, equipment, tools, knowledge and practices; adherence to regulations on the origin of food ingredients, self-declarations of products; and the use of food coloring, flavoring, additives, and packaging.
Consumers need guidance on selecting, preparing, preserving, and using food safely; they should only buy and use food and food additives with clear labels and origins.
