This year, the Feng County Market Supervision Bureau in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, has integrated the "Civilized Dining" initiative with market supervision services to promote its regular implementation, enhancing urban civility and cultural awareness.
**Extensive Awareness Campaigns** The bureau organized enforcement teams to conduct comprehensive education campaigns across key venues, including restaurants and school canteens, systematically promoting civilized dining practices. Leveraging events like "Food Safety Awareness Week," the initiative distributed over 20,000 promotional materials through brochures, posters, banners, and on-site explanations, emphasizing the importance of frugality and waste reduction. A total of 36 themed promotional activities were conducted.
**Standardization and Guidance** Food service providers were urged to fulfill their responsibilities by providing shared utensils, offering smaller portion options, and rationalizing menu pricing—embedding conservation principles throughout procurement, storage, preparation, and service. Posters advocating "Thrift and Virtue" and "Clean Plate Campaign" were prominently displayed, alongside "Civilized Dining" reminders, encouraging customers to adopt portion-sharing and shared-utensil habits. Staff training was intensified, with designated "Anti-Waste Advocates" offering meal suggestions and takeaway services to minimize leftovers.
**Enhanced Daily Supervision** Key oversight targets included mid-to-large restaurants, school and elderly care facility canteens, and rural group dining events, integrating anti-waste measures into routine inspections. Utilizing smart supervision platforms and an "Internet + AI Monitoring" model, 208 catering units were dynamically monitored, achieving precise food waste management and improved regulatory efficiency.
**Social Co-Governance** The bureau appointed 64 county-level food safety social supervisors to expand oversight, promptly addressing media reports and public complaints. The "National Food Safety Whistleblower System" was promoted, with 80 food enterprises registered to encourage staff reporting on waste and other issues, shifting supervision toward preventive measures.
