A new food safety regulation, said to be the most stringent ever enacted, will take effect in Shanghai on Monday.
The highlights of the new regulation, passed by the local legislature in January, include a higher threshold for market access, a severe crackdown on businesses operating without a license, standardized online food operations and increased penalties.
The previous version of the regulation was issued in July 2011.
