Beijing adopts strict food policy for APEC meeting

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.
