Is it safe to buy food online?

It is generally safe.

Online shopping for food must be cautious, and some basic skills need to be mastered. There are still many regulatory vacuums in online food sales, unlicensed homemade foods are popular, and many health foods are mixed. Food is the weak area of the whole online shopping supervision, so it is suggested that online shopping consumers master more methods to select and identify fake and shoddy food.

Step 1: Check merchants: Compared with the high risk of personal online shopping, more and more people tend to buy health care products in online shopping malls and official brand online stores such as Jian Kang Life Insurance. Before buying, you should check its "About Us", check the buyer's overall evaluation and news reports on the website, check whether the contact information of the website is complete, so as to get in touch with customer service personnel and check whether you have three certificates, such as industrial and commercial business license, tax certificate and food circulation license. It would be better if there is also the "Internet Drug Information Service License" issued by the US Food and Drug Administration, which shows that this business is more professional and reliable!

Step 2: Check the product.

1. Check the approval number of health food first.

At present, health food has become the fastest growing category in online food. According to relevant laws and regulations, the approval number of health food is its "identity card" for legal listing. To buy health food online, you must check the approval number in advance and check it afterwards.

2, ordinary food two certificates must be complete.

While the sales of health food are becoming more and more standardized, it seems very casual to sell ordinary food online. It is suggested that qualified food produced by regular manufacturers should be selected during the shelf life, which can be guaranteed by checking whether the food has hygiene license, production license and certificate.

It is illegal to sell homemade food online.

In addition to health food and ordinary food produced by regular enterprises, there is also a trend of quietly buying homemade food on the Internet. Sellers' homemade diet biscuits, self-ground flour, and even homemade sausages and homemade sesame paste have many varieties and fans. But here are illegal "three noes" products.

Step 3: Check the pictures taken in kind, and keep relevant chat records and payment vouchers.

Direct online shopping products must pay attention to the physical map. Regular online shopping malls, such as "Jian Kang Life and Health Shopping Mall", must have a lot of pictures taken in kind, so we can get closer to the truth by looking at the real things, and we also need to look at detailed pictures to learn more.
