TREE NEWS update: Meituan has rolled out a food-safety edition of its Meituan Waimai delivery app, which surfaces six categories of core information — including displayed licenses, real storefront photos and “open kitchen” footage — before customers place an order, so they can check a merchant’s food-safety record and physical operation without digging through the merchant profile. The feature is live in Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Chengdu and will expand nationwide.
Meituan launches food-safety version of its delivery app
Pushing food-safety data to the pre-order surface reframes merchant transparency from a buried profile detail into a default part of the ordering flow, which raises the compliance bar for the long tail of small kitchens rather than just the chains. The near-term watch item is whether the three-city rollout changes merchant behavior — license and storefront verification, and adoption of open-kitchen footage — before the nationwide expansion lands.
