State Administration for Market Regulation: New regulations on online food delivery are implemented, allowing delivery drivers to serve as mobile supervisors.

On June 16, 2026, the State Administration for Market Regulation held its regular press conference for the second quarter of 2026, introducing the implementation of the new regulations on online catering. The new regulations require platforms to conduct real-name registration and on-site inspections for merchants, with updates every six months. They also promote the concept of "transparent kitchens," allowing the kitchen staff to be visible and accessible. The next step will be to crack down on typical cases of "ghost delivery," further strengthening the supervision of food safety for take-out without dine-in options, and making delivery riders responsible as mobile food safety supervisors.
