The Spring Festival of 2025 is approaching, and people's livelihood consumption has entered the traditional peak season. In order to fully ensure that the people have a happy and peaceful New Year, the State Administration for Market Regulation recently issued a notice deploying the work of stabilizing prices and ensuring quality of important livelihood goods and services during the holiday period. The notice requires continuous attention to the price changes of daily necessities such as rice, flour, edible oil, vegetables, meat, eggs, dairy products, and local specialty foods during holidays, with a focus on local New Year's Eve dinner reservations, cultural entertainment, hotel accommodation, transportation and other service prices. Beware of the risk of cold weather driving demand for cold and fever drugs and price increases. Carry out continuous tracking and analysis, improve the accuracy of analysis and prediction, and better grasp the market price changes. We need to increase the intensity of market inspections, increase the frequency of inspections, and investigate and punish illegal and irregular behaviors such as price manipulation, price collusion, price fraud, and failure to clearly mark prices according to regulations in accordance with the law. The notice points out that it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the food production and operation process, urge food producers and operators to implement their main responsibilities for food safety, and strictly prevent regional and systematic food safety problems from occurring. Supervise catering service operators in accordance with the law to effectively implement their main responsibilities for food safety and prevent catering waste, regulate business behavior, and ensure consumer food safety. Organize special spot checks on hot selling food during the Spring Festival period, increase the intensity of spot checks, timely publicize the results of supervision and spot checks, and carry out legal verification and disposal of unqualified food found during supervision and spot checks. The notice emphasizes the need to closely monitor hazardous chemicals and their packaging, fire-fighting products, building materials, wires and cables, gas appliances, electric bicycles and rechargeable batteries, fireworks and firecrackers and other safety related key products, organize quality and safety hazard investigations, make every effort to prevent and resolve various risks, and resolutely avoid public safety incidents caused by quality and safety issues during holidays. Adhere to problem oriented and integrated online and offline supervision, strengthen supervision and spot checks on winter consumer products such as holiday sales and down jackets that are closely related to the basic lives of the people, and strictly prevent unqualified products from entering the market. Urge production and sales units to strictly implement the requirements of the "daily control, weekly investigation, and monthly scheduling" mechanism, and strictly control the source of product quality and safety.
