Can hepatitis B be a health certificate and catering industry?

Legal analysis: The newly promulgated Food Safety Law clarifies that people who are not allowed to directly contact imported food do not include hepatitis B virus carriers, which means that there is no law that hepatitis B virus carriers are not allowed to engage in the catering industry. Therefore, as long as the liver function is normal, it should be possible to apply for a health certificate.

Legal basis: Article 23 of the Food Safety Law stipulates that food producers and business operators shall establish and implement the health examination system and health file system for employees in accordance with Article 34 of the Food Safety Law. Personnel who are engaged in direct contact with imported food suffer from digestive tract infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid fever, viral hepatitis A and viral hepatitis E, and diseases that hinder food safety such as active tuberculosis, suppurative or exudative skin diseases, and food producers and operators shall adjust them to other jobs that do not affect food safety.

Food production and marketing personnel shall carry out health examination in accordance with the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 34 of the Food Safety Law, and the inspection items and other matters shall conform to the provisions of the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.
