15 yuan was fined 5000 yuan for "patting cucumber"? If the restaurant sells cold dishes, what certificate do you need?

A restaurant in Hefei was fined 5000 yuan by the market supervision department for selling cold dishes similar to cucumbers. This news quickly rushed to the hot search, which attracted the attention of netizens. Many netizens feel that it is very inappropriate to be punished for selling this fresh and delicious side dish, but it is illegal to operate this unlicensed cold dish, so it is reasonable and compliant to punish 5,000 yuan. Although many people are very dissatisfied with this, when selling this cold dish, you must apply for a business license and a food business license, and the production and sales of cold dishes should be included in the licensed business items, so that you can legally sell cold dishes.

In fact, selling cold dishes such as cucumbers was punished. Not only that, in a restaurant in Luyang District of Hefei, there was also the act of selling cold dishes without permission. The food allowed to be sold in this restaurant's business license includes hot food and prepackaged foods, but does not include the production and sale of cold food and raw food. But this restaurant sells salted edamame, cold cucumber, cold tomato and other cold dishes. Therefore, according to the relevant regulations of food management, the restaurant has violated the law and fined the party 5,000 yuan. Coincidentally, this similar incident also happened in Chizhou.

Restaurants selling cold dishes such as cucumbers must apply for a cold food business license. If this item is not listed in the license at the beginning of selling food, you can apply to the market supervision department to change the business scope before making and selling it to avoid similar incidents. Many people have also asked where this business change should be handled, but in fact, where the business license is handled, you can apply for a change. Generally speaking, university canteens, large-scale catering, group dining distribution units and central kitchens can apply to the municipal market supervision department for changing their business scope, and other catering service providers can apply to the market supervision department in their respective jurisdictions.

Finally, it should be noted that after submitting the change of business scope, it is necessary to go to the regulatory department of the jurisdiction for on-site acceptance. After the acceptance, the cold food business items can be added to the license. In order to meet the acceptance criteria, it is necessary to equip a cold dish production site with an area of more than 5 square meters, as well as facilities for secondary hand washing, changing clothes and disinfection, as well as independent air conditioning and disinfection equipment, so as to complete the acceptance as soon as possible and make and sell cold dishes.
