After 6 years of operating towards unifying a focal point for state management of food safety, the Provincial Food Safety Management Authority has coordinated with all levels, sectors and localities to drastically and synchronously deploy solutions to ensure food safety in the province. The work of administrative procedure reform receives special attention and close direction from the Authority's leaders. Currently, 8 out of 8 public services are performed online. The Authority has deployed a 24/24 hotline to promptly receive feedback from people and the press about food safety violations, and receive and answer questions about food safety from people and businesses.
