Beijing has adopted a stringent food-security policy during preparations for the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting by regulating raw food-material providers and suspending sales of healthcare products at some of the reception hotels.

 

Halal food is an important part in the security supervision.

 

To ensure the quality of food prepared for the summit, about 20 companies, including Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, were named the providers of raw ingredients. All 34 hotels serving the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting have to buy food from those companies.

 

"If the providers cannot meet the demand, hotels can purchase raw materials from their own sources, but they have to report to us the details," said Zhang Fengping, deputy director of the Beijing Food and Drug Administration.

 

"Hotels also need to check the quality of beauty and hair supplies for guests," Zhang added. "During the APEC meeting, all sales of healthcare products in hotels with important guests have to be suspended."

 

At the same time, the administration must supervise menus, recipes and ingredients.
