The bakery can also sell coffee. The country's first food business "mash-up" license has been issued.

Xinhua Wuhan, July 10 (Reporter Liao Jun) "now only need 4 pages of paper, only 4 working days to get the certificate." On the 9th, Yin Hao, the owner of a West Point coffee shop in Wuhan, received a "Food Circulation license" for both food circulation and catering services. This is the first relevant license issued by Wuhan since the introduction of the "two-in-one" policy of mixed food business license in the country.

On June 26 this year, the Wuhan Food and Drug Administration took the lead in issuing an opinion on the license management of mixed food business, dealing in drinks and cakes like Yin Hao, and providing simple catering service places. According to the new regulations, the Food Circulation license can be issued directly, only outside the main "bulk food on-site processing retail" marked with the business scope of the license. It has been approved to increase the project of "making and selling cold and hot drinks". In the past, Yin Hao needed to apply for two licenses for food circulation and catering service at the same time.

Zang Qing, director of the Policy and regulations Department of Wuhan Food and Drug Administration, said that at present, more than 80,000 businesses in Wuhan have food circulation licenses and about 54,000 have catering service licenses. With the development of society, the consumption pattern of mixed forms of beverages such as bakery tying is becoming more and more popular among the public. in addition to some popular white-collar coffee and dim sum restaurants, the measure of the integration of the two certificates has also made Qianjixi Cake, Zhongbai Hobang convenience Store and other chain stores selling drinks and snacks applauded. Now, shopkeepers only need to provide a piece of material and can complete the "mash-up" certificate within five working days.

"in the past, we had to apply for two certificates in one store. not only did it take a long time for examination and approval, the materials needed were stacked two or three centimeters thick, but also the application materials were partially duplicated. for example, it is necessary to provide legal representative ID cards, housing rental contracts, property rights certificates, employee health certificates, store layout maps, and so on." According to the person in charge of Wuhan Qianji Food Co., Ltd., it usually takes two weeks for two certificates. Although it is free to apply for a certificate, it takes manpower cost for the staff to sort out the data and send the declaration materials back and forth.

A person in charge of the Wuhan Food and Drug Administration said that in the past, food circulation and catering services belonged to the two regulatory departments of industry and commerce and food and drug, so it was difficult to standardize the operation of mixed-format food. After the completion of the reform of the food and drug system last year, food circulation and catering services were uniformly placed under the responsibility of the Wuhan Food and Drug Administration. The "integration of two certificates into one" broke the traditional sectional management model and really realized an active exploration from heavy examination and approval to strong supervision.

According to Zang Qing, "two certificates in one" is to transform the original supervision of the business site into the supervision of the business project. In fact, the current laws and regulations on food circulation, catering services involving specific categories, items, varieties of the division standards and methods are relatively lagging behind, "two certificates in one" breaks through the traditional sectional management model, the implementation of food safety supervision, seamless convergence.
