"There's so much to do with online food ordering and delivery," Liu said. "A law was unveiled in 2011 but the sector has made major strides since, and nearly 90 percent of the terms in the law are in need of revision."
The local food market watchdog earlier this year set up a team specializing in overseeing online food ordering and delivery platforms and the vendors that sell food through the platforms. More than 33,000 unlicensed active vendors were driven out of the market.

The organizer of the banquet must then keep a sample of each dish for at least 48 hours after the event.
