The campaign will target 28 categories, including rice, cooking oil, meat and dairy products. All outlets selling these items must have relevant quality and inspection certificates, or they could be subject to severe punishment.

The last four months have seen the closure of 192,400 shops because of failure to produce licenses, and the recall of 1,254 tons of substandard food.
