Can restaurants purchase bulk food for sale?

Restaurants and hotels can purchase bulk food for sale. When food operators sell bulk food, they should indicate the name of the food, production date, shelf life, name of the producer and operator, and contact information on the containers and outer packaging of the bulk food. It is a special regulation for food operators in the circulation link when selling bulk food. However, after careful analysis based on the actual situation, this regulation is also a special regulation for catering service providers to purchase and use bulk food. Violators of this regulation should be punished in accordance with the law.
