China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) orders food delivery platforms to strengthen safety controls
Change
China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) ordered Meituan, Taobao Shangou and JD.com to carry out immediate self-inspections, tighten vendor vetting and delivery controls, and enlist riders in safety supervision ahead of new food-safety regulations effective June 2026.
Why it matters
Platforms must produce verifiable self-inspection and rectification records and change vendor onboarding, delivery workflow and rider-management procedures to meet the regulator's requirements. Missing documentation or unchanged controls will leave firms exposed to enforcement once the June regulations take effect.
