What are the procedures for selling raw pork?

The sale of raw pork needs to go through the formalities of food business license, animal quarantine certificate and employee health certificate.

First, apply for a food business license.

"Food Business License" is a necessary document for engaging in food sales activities. Merchants selling raw pork need to apply to the local food and drug supervision and management department, and provide relevant certification materials such as business premises, equipment and facilities, and sanitary conditions. Only after passing the examination can we obtain a food business license and legally engage in the sale of raw pork.

Second, obtain the animal quarantine certificate

In order to ensure the food safety of consumers, raw pork must be inspected by the animal quarantine department and obtain the animal quarantine certificate. Merchants need to apply to the local animal health supervision agency for quarantine, and provide information such as the source, quantity and mode of transportation of pigs. Only after passing the quarantine can the merchant obtain the animal quarantine certificate, which proves that the raw pork sold meets the health and safety standards.

Third, handle the employee health certificate.

Employees engaged in raw pork sales need to apply for health certificates to ensure good health and prevent the spread of diseases. Employees need to go to the medical institution designated by the local health department for physical examination and submit relevant certification materials. After passing the physical examination, medical institutions will issue health certificates, and businesses need to ensure that employees have valid health certificates before they can engage in the sale of raw pork.

In addition, merchants also need to abide by relevant food safety laws and regulations, such as the Food Safety Law and the Regulations on the Management of Pig Slaughtering, to ensure that the raw pork they sell is legal in origin and reliable in quality. At the same time, businesses need to establish a sound food safety management system, strengthen food quality control and food safety risk monitoring, and ensure the food safety of consumers.

To sum up:

To sell raw pork, you need to go through the formalities of food business license, animal quarantine certificate, employee health certificate, etc., and abide by relevant food safety laws and regulations. The handling of these procedures is not only the legitimate business requirements of businesses, but also an important guarantee for consumers' food safety.
