The "Food Circulation Permit" clarifies the issue, conditions, procedures and connection with food hygiene permits. Food business operators must adhere to the principle of "license before license", and may not go through the registration formalities without obtaining the pre-approval documents.

According to the Food Safety Law and the relevant provisions of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the industrial and commercial departments are responsible for issuing the Food Circulation Permit. Anyone who engages in food circulation business activities does not need to go to the health department to apply for a food hygiene license, but should apply to the industrial and commercial department for a food circulation license.
